The Parkzone RC Corsair RTF and PNP.

 

 

 

 

Parkzone RC airplanes are very well known for producing a large range of completely ready to fly RC airplanes, many of them are scale and the majority of these are World War Two RC aircraft.

 

All of the range are manufactured from injection molded foam and the scale models feature lots of detail molded in.

 

Almost, if not all of the range can be flown in a large park or sports field and some of the smaller "micro" models are best suited to flying indoors, in say a school gym or similar area.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The F4U Corasir was one of the most famous of the WW2 Warbirds. The first to fly faster than 400 MPH and its famous bent wing are the key features.

This parkzone RC model is made from "Z Foam", it is said to be extremely durable and easily repairable. Also note that spare parts are available. This is hopefully a feature you will never need but is always good for the inevitable repair!

 

This Vought Corsair comes absolutely complete and ready to fly. The RTF (Ready To Fly) version even comes with an RC transmitter, all  RC servos are installed and hooked up. For those of you who already have a transmitter, then the PNP( Plug anD Play) type is also available.

 

 

 

As can be seen in the photo at the left, this RC Corsair comes with a fixed landing gear and a steerable tail wheel. If your flying area comes complete with a hard top runway then takes offs and wheel landings can be a very enjoyable part of every flight.

 

If you are not as fortunate then you can remove the wing mounted landing gear and hand launch and land on the grass, when the clear plastic reinforcements, on the underbelly, will protect this RC Corsair.

 

Note also the cooling holes in the rear fuselage. Not scale but very important to keep everything nice and cool in the fuselage!

 

Another nice feature is the electronic speed control- an E-Flite 30 amp Pro SB Brushless ESC.

 

This Chance Vought Corsair is a full 4-channel model and if you buy the RTF version, it comes complete with a Spektrum DX5E RC transmitter. This is a 5-channel transmitter on the 2.4 GHz band. In my opinion, this spread spectrum technology is the only way to go! If you are buying a new radio then please ensure it is a 2.4 GHz type.

 

This type of RC system is immune to almost all types of radio interference and frequency control is now a thing of the past.

 

An 11.1V, 1800Mah lithium polymer battery and a 480 size outrunner brushless motor is installed.

 

The included battery charger is a variable rate 2–3 cell DC, cell-balancing, Li-Po charger that will safely charge and condition the lithium polymer battery and can plug in to your car cigarette lighter outlet.

One final point. Please be advised that the Parkzone  RC Corsair is NOT a beginner RC plane. You will need some prior experience with an easy flying, forgiving, stable trainer before you try a scale WW2 warbird!

That is not to say that this model is hard to fly-it is not.
