With a 50cc engine, 86-inch span, fully sheeted and covered with flat finish MonoKote, this F4U dominated the Hobbico/Great Planes booth at the Toledo show. This ARF has a over-built center wing section with a double sheeting of balsa with cross grain sheeting that is factory formed and fitted for a precise, extremely strong structure. Plug-in wing panels, retracts (Robart) and multi-section flaps make this an awesome giant scale warbird for anyone’s hangar. Watch for the exclusive review coming soon in Model Airplane News!
This 1/5-scale Corsair has a full cockpit and scale matt decals are included.
The Corsair is about 1/5.6 scale and is designed for Robart 90-degree rotating retractable landing gear.

This Corsair is very impressive to see up close. The only thing I would like to see changed on this plane is the tail wheel. It sits very low. A scale tail wheel would finish this plane off very well.
