First FMS warbird I’ve owned. Went together great with no issues. I decided to use the AR636 with the AS3X to help combat against the wind considering its small size. It’s max wind component is around 10MPH. It will fly in winds over 10MPH but then you really have to start fighting it, so it’s not that fun to fly anymore. On the maiden I used a 2S 1100mAh battery, and I have to say the plane was WAY underpowered. At full power it was right above stalling the whole flight. I upgraded to a 2S 1300mAh, and that helped a lot and gave it more power. I get 5 mins of flight time on the 1300mAh running close to full throttle the whole time. Awesome plane for the price, and beginner friendly for your 3rd or 4th plane.

I have been flying RC models for over 50 years & have had well over 50 planes. I wasn't expecting much when I ordered my FMS F4U because of the low price. To my surprise this was probably the most well made & easy to assemble plane I ever purchased. The finish is something like you would expect from a high price model. Easy to assemble because of the quality of the plane & parts. It went together quickly because the parts fit. The weather has been bad here in Pennsylvania & I haven't had a chance to go on the maiden flight but I am looking forward to it & with all maiden's, no matter how many you have flown is uneasy. I think it will be a good maiden just because a plane this solid should be no problem.yes I would recommend this plane to anyone. Quality at this price is hard to come by!

I'm looking at two lumbar fusion surgeries so I have been buying models to help reduce the cabin fever I'm having. That being said, I am totally pleased with the FMS Corsair! Scale details are abundant and well done. I have only two complaints. 1) It went together far to quickly and easily! I was done in no time at all. 2) The decals ate not adhesive enough. The edges lift far to easily. However, I would buy this plane again ss may be yhe case when I actually get to fly it! Buy with confidence!

I bought this plane for my son who is an intermediate RC pilot. This plane is beautiful but she can also be very fast and very agile and so not really meant as a first RC plane to learn on. You definitely need some stick time on other 4-channnel planes before you take on this one.

The manual called for a 2S 1000mAh LiPo but after reading a bunch of reviews, the overwhelming consensus was to use a larger 3S 1000 mAh LiPo. I'm so glad I decided to go with the recommendation because my son tells me that the plane is an absolute blast to fly on this size battery.

My son has flown other 800mm size warbirds before and we did try to use the manual recommended 2S but he found that it lacked so much power that it was barely flying let alone to try anything aerobatic.

The build process was simple enough but having to install the control horns yourself is can be tedious especially if you are like me and need reading glasses to see anything up close. The tiny screws were a bit difficult to handle and I kept dropping them as I had difficulty getting it started. You definitely want a magnetic screw driver.

For the transmitter, my son the brand new NX-8 along with an AR-410 receiver.
Again, if you watch the YouTube video, you can see for yourself what an awesome plane this is!

This plane flies slow great, but it can also go super fast. This plane is so powerful for its size and I would get it again without a second thought. I even talked my friend into buying one and he brings it every time we go flying. This plane can fight wind up to 10 miles an hour no problem, and anything above that you might have to fight the wind. This is the best band for your buck plane ever.
