Overview

The F4U Corsair, with its unique inverted gull wing, is one of the most 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 includes a telemetry-capable AR631 receiver with both AS3X® and optional-use SAFE® Select technologies. The airframe is finished in the iconic "all blue" trim scheme and includes separate decal sheets to customise it with MARINES, NAVY, and other markings. Factory-installed rotating retracts with strut covers, plus operational flaps, take your scale warbird experience to another level.

This updated version is the smartest, most powerful, and easiest to fly full-house model of the iconic warbird yet. The factory-installed brushless power system features a 70-amp Spektrum™ Avian™ Smart Lite ESC plus a specially-tuned motor and 4-blade prop. This combination delivers an abundance of thrust with a 3S LiPo battery, or more speed and nearly unlimited vertical performance with a 4S battery. The ESC can provide a variety of real-time power system related telemetry data including motor RPM, current, battery voltage and more via compatible receivers (including the AR631) and Spektrum AirWare™ equipped transmitters while you fly. No glue is required for final assembly — you can have the F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m ready to fly in less time than it takes to charge a battery.

Note

Please check your local council or flying club for laws regarding recreational flying before your first flight. Includes decal sheets to customise the finish with MARINES, NAVY, and other markings.
