Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and the U.S. and British use the Corsair was also used by the Royal New Zealand Air Force, the French Navy Aronavale and other, smaller, air forces until the 1960s. The Corsair served to a lesser degree in the U.S.

carrier based fighter in the second part of the war was thus filled by the Grumman F6F Hellcat, powered by the same Double Wasp engine first flown on the Corsair's first prototype in 1940. The Corsair thus came to and retained prominence in its area of greatest deployment: land based use by the U.S. However its difficult carrier landing performance rendered the Corsair unsuitable for Navy use until the carrier landing issues were overcome when used by the British Fleet Air Arm. The Corsair was designed as a carrier-based aircraft. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured by Vought, in 16 separate models, in the longest production run of any piston-engined fighter in U.S. From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Demand for the aircraft soon overwhelmed Vought's manufacturing capability, resulting in production by Goodyear and Brewster: Goodyear-built Corsairs were designated FG and Brewster-built aircraft F3A. The Chance Vought F4U Corsair was an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Although this warbird demonstrates some trainer-like flight qualities, we recommend advanced pilots with plenty of warbird flight training due to its size and power. The FMS 1700mm F4U Corsair is sure to please even the most discerning RC warbird lover. Anyone who has plenty of experience flying the 1400mm series of warbirds who are looking to get into the largerġ700mm class of warbirds may want to consider this fantastic addition to the FMS line. The F4U Corsair has a docile yet commanding presence in the air. It has to be considered one of the better views in all of RC flying. It's hard to beat the profile of the famous gull wing bird coming in on final approach using the full 3-stage flaps. This 1700mm F4U Corsair V2 from FMS is truly one of our favorite larger warbirds.
