I own the Flightline Corsair and the Flightline Spitfire. I'm a seasoned intermediate pilot with experience mostly with Pipers and Cessnas, so I have not had good luck with warbirds. I would definitely recommend getting the Corsair first as the landing gear is wider and it is very stable in the air. I have done two flights so far and the landings were good. The Spitfire is much harder to land, but is a great performer. Overall, the Corsair is very predictable and the large flaps definitely slow it down. Make sure you have some speed when using them. I also added one weight in the nose with the 5000 6s battery. You will definitely be happy with this plane.

Excellent plane in every way!The newest versions come with the reversing ESC. Be careful as this is NOT the old ESC and the timing is different. My maiden seemed “slow”. Had power but not much speed. I programmed the ESC to set brake type from reverse to disabled and changed the timing to high. MUCH faster and flys like the old ESC version now!!Love this plane! Well done Flightline!!

I like the look of this plane. However there are two freewing connectors needed to work both wings, flaps gear etc. The 2x Freewing connectors that came with my plane instantly fell apart. Unfortunately they are out of stock motion rc refunded me 7$ for the connectors. So far in my opinion this setup should not be flown and is a hazard.

My freewing wire fell apart luckily I was able to land plane in once piece. Very cheap connector almost looks like bad batch it fell apart on first flight causing right wing and gear to not work at all. The wire is also sold out... So i cant fly this plane until i figure out how to find this akward connector no one seams to carry. Freewing feels very cheap CHINA product. I Dont expect this plane to last once i get it working properly. I love the look but feels very cheap... Messaged Motion RC support with no response.
