## Description

$include('Page-Include', 'cid', 'CL-pdp-message-EFL18550')$ AN EVEN MORE CAPABLE CORSAIRDue to its unique inverted gull wing design, the F4U Corsair is one of the most recognizable and iconic U.S. Navy and Marine fighter aircraft of World War II. This updated and upgraded version of the E-flite® F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m features a factory-installed 3S and 4S compatible power system with an exclusive 70A Smart Lite ESC to deliver more capabilities and performance. The BNF® Basic version also includes a telemetry-capable AR631 receiver with both AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies that make it easier to fly than ever before. The airframe is now finished in the iconic "all blue" trim scheme and includes separate decal sheets to customize it with MARINES, NAVY, and other markings.

Review: Avion muy facil de volar, muy bonito y el precio fue como haberlo comprado en USA. Se requiere tener cuando menos experiencia media en el hobby
Review: AS3X keeps her very stable. I take off and land in a 90 degree cross wind and as a novice to 6 channel warbirds this has been a joy; especitally landing. The landing flaps slow her down swiftly and predicably. The dark Navy blue presents a noticable challege to keep orientaion during golden hour but Taima AS-8 Navy Blue spray paint is a PERFECT color match for any hanger rash I've gotten. Just fly with caution just before sunset.10 flights in and I'm loving her. Battery: Spektrum 4s 2900mAh.
