The GWS Corsair F4U electric park flyer is a faithful reproduction of the famous WWII U.S Black Sheep Squadron fighter plane. The Corsair was a formidable airplane with its unique bent wing, the most powerful engine ever installed in a piston-engined fighter and one of the world's biggest propellers.
Fully aerobatic with aileron control, this foam GWS park flyer airplane is a great way to experience warbird thrills in the friendly confines of your favorite ballpark or grass field. The excess power of the GWS EPC350C power unit allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: easy slow-speed cruising or unbridled aerobatic bliss!
The GWS Corsair has slow-speed stability that's outstanding, with no startling tip stall tendencies to watch out for.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the performance spectrum, its aerobatics include loops from level flight (inside or out), barrel rolls, and even inverted flight. The extra power also lets you take to the skies in breezes of as much as 10 mph that would ground most other park flyers.
Like their other park flyer kits, there's not a lot of assembly required to get the GWS F4U Corsair airborne. The fuselage and wing parts come out of the box already painted in blue. What minor assembly is left can be accomplished over a weekend without breaking a sweat.
I'd have to say, without a doubt, the GWS Corsair is ounce-for-ounce one of the most thrilling park flyer experiences out there. It's combination of slow-speed stability and rock-and-roll aerobatic ability are definitely a departure from the usual sedate, park flyer radio control planes!
