Very well package product. The propeller is amazing. I have had some balsa Corsair models that could be pretty touchy on take off, but this plane is a breeze. Flying on 5200mah 6s backs and routinely get 7 minutes of flight time. I had my time set at 5 min and kept landing with 46-50% of the pack left. The plane lands great with just the first setting of flaps, just keep a little power and she will settle in nicely. A couple of the guys at the first didn’t think is was a foam plane until they got real close. I would highly recommend this plane.

This airplane looks great and flys as expected. Disappointed in overall power and speed from 6S. Maybe Colorado density altitude has something to do with this? Steerable tailwheel inop. Determined bad circuit board. Motion RC had immediate replacement. Great customer service.

This Corsair is a very well behaved and predictable flyer, I use an Admiral 5000 all the way forward and it flies beautifully to scale. So after 30+ flights I had to do some heavy weathering to make it look even better. Can't wait to do some slow full flap flypasts, thoroughly recommend buying it!

She's a pussycat! I hope Flightline keeps making planes in this series, I have the Spitfire too! Both are the best planes I own to date.

It was a quick assembly. I used all of the included nose weight and my roaringtop 5500 pushed all the way forward. I found this to be a good overall cg with consideration given to the aft retraction of the main gear. This is a very smooth flying machine. No roll couple. Excellent knife edge, point rolls are a pleasure.Reminds me more of a pattern ship than a warbird. Landings were predictable, she likes to wheel land carrying some power.No pitch change with flap input.I put about 12 flights on her before decals and some weathering.

Quick assembly. Beautiful craftsmanship, retracts are awesome. No issues on maiden flight. I mostly fly EDF, however it belongs in everyone's livery.
