The Vought Corsair. Top Flite's 60 and Giant Scale RC Airplane Kits.The Vought Corsair can be built from the Top Flite RC airplane kits and will be an absorbing build and will fly very well.
The Top Flite Gold Edition 60 size RC airplane kit.
 This kit has been available since 1991 and has recently been updated,
to include the latest techniques.
Construction is of balsa and ply and the original prototype was covered in
Monokote. All the parts are die cut and are to Top Flite's usual high standard.
This is not a beginners airplane and requires some basic building experience and
also some flying skills are necessary for success.
If this model appeals to you, then I strongly suggest you take a
look at the Top Flite manual. This will give you a good idea as to the
construction details and if you feel capable of building this Vought Corsair.
 
Many scale details are available for this Vought Corsair and a look at the
manuals, for these details, is always a good idea. Top Flite have an
excellent
scale cockpit interior available as well as a
dummy radial engine.
Instructions are given in the manual for building the scale flaps, which I would
recommend. This feature makes landings a delight and definitely adds to the
scale realism.
The
Cockpit Interior Kit F4U Corsair
can be found on this Amazon page. 
The
Replica Radial Engine 1/7 Scale
is available from Amazon. com
Another scale feature that is well worth the effort, is a set of
Robart retracts. A WW2 warbird does not look right, flying around, with
the wheels down!
 
The
Pneumatic Retracts,100 Degree
,
from Robart, are available form Amazon. com
 A 2-stroke is light and powerful and the Thunder Tiger is very well built and should last a lifetime. I notice in the manual, that Top Flite also recommend a 120 4-stroke for this model. I think a 120 is a bit too much and I would limit a 4-stroke to a 91 or a 100, at the most.
The Top Flite Gold Edition, Giant Scale RC airplane kit.
As the photo shows, this is definitely a large scale model aircraft! Built from die cut balsa and ply parts this model builds up very well from the CAD designed plans. This kit has been around for a fair time now, so many of the "bugs" will have been worked out. Please be aware that this is by no means an ARF and even though Top Flite has done a great job in engineering this kit, it is a major build project!
A visit to the Top Flite site will give you more details of this Vought Corsair Please note that the engines recommended by Top Flite are no longer available. I would suggest that a modern RC gas engine of about 50 cc would be a good choice.
The photo shows the Great Planes DLE-55cc gasoline engine. This engine comes complete with a Walbro carb and electronic ignition. Out affiliate hobby shop
