Great Planes Corsair 40 Kit - GPMA0177 - Manual (Page 3)

1 You must assemble the plane according to the
instructions Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so
may result in an unsafe or unflyable model In a few cases
the instructions may differ slightly from the photos In those
instances you should assume the written instructions
are correct.
2 You must take time to build straight, true and strong.
3 You must properly install all R/C and other components
so that the model operates properly on the ground and in
the air
4. You must test the operation of the model before the first
and each successive flight to insure that all equipment is
operating, and you must make certain that the model has
remained structurally sound
Remember: Take your time and follow directions to
end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.
The Great Planes F4U Corsair .40 has been designed
to be built flat on the board. It is a super-flying model with
no bad traits Anyone who has had a little taildragger time
will not experience any difficulty with ground handling or
flying With a hot 40 or .46, the Great Planes Corsair will
do all the tricks in the book, and at a very exciting pace
Install a non-Schnuerled engine and enjoy a more relaxed
flying experience - but one that still allows most common
flight maneuvers
The Corsair .40 is equally at home on a paved runway
or operating from a grass strip The construction is tough
and there are no retracts to worry about, so rough fields
can be handled with confidence The thick, high-lift airfoil
with built-in washout allows the model to slow down for
smooth landings without the need for flaps
To fully enclose the engine within the Corsair's cowl, we
suggest using a 2-stroke engine with a Pitts-style muffler
There is plenty of room to install up to a 70 4-stroke if you
choose However, the top of the cylinder head and exhaust
pipe/muffler will protrude through the cowling
We hope you enjoy your Great Planes F4U Corsair .40
as much as we do It's a blast to fly!
