Corsairs shot down 2,140 planes against only 189 loses of their own. Serving in both the Navy and the Marine Corps, this plane was superior to the Japanese aircraft it encountered in the Pacific theater of World War II. The Corsair was undoubtedly one of the most successful Navy fighters to enter service before the era of the jet aircraft. At this point, I'm still using only the four primary channels for control without any extra functions, but in the future, I think I shall add a fifth servo for dropping a fuel tank or a bomb to get a few more points in scale competition. Now, after building and flying it, I can report that it flies very nicely and its speed is so great that it could easily give some stiff competition at the Reno pylon races. But only time would end up telling how well it would fly.

40 schnuerle engine would make it fast and its wing span, space saving.

Its thick fuselage and gull wing suited my first requirement pretty well. Quote: 'I wanted to build an attractive, space-saving, fast, and good-flying model in the sport scale category.
