FlightLine F4U-1D Corsair "Bubble Top" 1600mm (63") Wingspan - PNP Reviews

4.7 Rating 186 Reviews
Love the looks of this plane!For a foamy the overall finish looks very good.All surfaces are smooth, like the latest Eflite and FMS birds.All metall servos.This bird is a relative heavy beast and it has a big very thick wing (in compare to the new Eflite Focke Wulf).I think it needs a lot off power to bild up speed.Before flying it, I upgraded the motor for an 5055 390kv and a smart Avian 100 esc for more power and speed.The 3blade 18 x 12 Propeller ist impressive in comparisson with the common 14 or 15 x 8 Propps of other Foamies.I will fly it with a Gense Ace 6S 6800 120C 975Gr. heavy but lots of power and flite time. I will be very carefull with the CG!!Wenn I look at the Landingear, I see them already breaking.The actuators seem quite small for this size of plane and the pins are way to thin. They are also weakened by the 3mm turning pins, I will try to get 7 or 8mm hard-aluminium pins in the actuators.So is some tuning to be done, but I am fine with that.Awesome plane!

I have not flown it yet. Picture of the plane with 2 livery’s is very confusing poorly done. Needs a beautiful picture of the airplane on the box like the rest of the Flightline planes. That would be very helpful.

This is my second one and as a huge Corsair nut, I just can't get over the beautiful quality and scale detail bone stock. Flies wonderfully but yes, be mindful of the retracts on landing...It is the known weak-spot of the plane. Really work on greasing her in not slapping her down too hard. Other than that this is a 10-out-of-10 model!

This is the best Corsair there is!!!! It looks amazing and everything is really good quality! It showed up in perfect condition and was really easy to assemble and set up!!!! I also did my own custom scheme on it! I painted it using the Benchcraft airbrush machine and that worked perfectly! I also bought the Calie Graphics "Irate Donald duck" graphic set and they are really good quality too! I love it that the F4u-1D Corsair comes with no graphics on it! That makes it so much easier to do your own scheme! If you want the best Corsair ever get this one!!!!

I haven't flown it yet, but so far, I'm favorably impressed, I'm looking forward to taking it to the field. It went together easy and arrived in good shape.
