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 just finished the assembly of this little beauty. I am really impressed with FMS models. This is my third one. I also have the 800mm Trojan and the Beech Staggerwing. All have tremendous detailing and the quality is built in. There were no defects to speak of. All parts were easily identified. I took the drop tanks off and painted them yellow. I also did a little paint job on the missiles to dress them up. I installed a Lemon Plus Rx with stabilizer. I can turn the gyro off and on, so if I want to do some fancy stuff, I can turn it off. The 800mm size seems to be the perfect size for me. I do love my Apprentice, Timber, Commander and the rest, but they just take up too dang much room. With this new smaller size I can take a few more airplanes to my flying field. So far, I only have the 800mm Trojan, and the Corsair. I have an old Parkzone f4f Wildcat from years ago and that is also close to the 800 mm size. I will hand launch this one as my flying field is too rough for the small wheels.I am currently searching for a flying field that will afford me a paved area for my tail draggers.

I have had this plane for over week and have had to spend an extra $75- 100 for a 2S battery and charger and 4 channel receiver. after all of this and several trips to my local hobby store and I am still not able to fly. the propeller turns on even with the lock on or the throttle stick to off position. I am not sure that I will ever be able to fly it. I definitely would not recommend this PNP version at all.
