Title: NEW HobbyKing F4U Corsair Post by: DominicM on January 27, 2021, 08:30:02 PM Super little "almost ready to fly" warbird in this size just like it's predecessors in this 750mm series from HobbyKing. Assembly takes minutes and flies like a much larger model due to the clever ORX gyro stabiliser.

Amazed at how well it flew. I suspect Corsairs fly better due to more wing area and lower loading than say a Mustang or Spitfire of similar span. Without even a gyro...

Would be interesting.
