Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone ® F4U
Corsair Plug-N-Play® (PNP). One of the most popular
Warbirds of WWII, the Corsair was also one of the most
feared by the Axis powers. Nicknamed the “sweetheart
of Okinawa” by American pilots and “whistling death”
by the Japanese, the F4U’s most notable feature was
the “bent” wing that was necessary to allow clearance
for its massive propeller, which was powered by the
incredible Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial
engine. You can now enjoy flying your own F4U with this
beautiful ParkZone replica.
This airplane comes almost fully assembled in order
to allow you to get in the air quickly. Your F4U Corsair
Plug-N-Play already has the 3-wire servos, a ParkZone
480 outrunner brushless motor and an E-flite Pro 30A
brushless ESC installed. The decals have already been
applied, as well. You will only need to add your own
battery and charger (a 3S 1800+mAh Li-Po battery is
recommended), as well as a receiver and transmitter. In
as little as an hour, you can be ready for your first flight
with the F4U Corsair PNP. This means you can spend
your time refining your flying skills, not your building
skills.
specifically designed to handle Li-Po batteries, such
as the ParkZone 2- to 3-cell Li-Po Charger (PKZ1040).
Regardless of the battery you choose, always follow the
charger and battery instructions in order to avoid any
damage to the battery, charger, property or yourself.
Charging Your Flight Battery
We recommend that you choose either the 2200mAh
3S Li-Po (PKZ1030) or the ParkZone 1800mAh 3S
Li-Po (PKZ1031) to power your F4U Corsair PNP. The
Li-Po battery must be charged with a charger that is

Step 1
Warning:
Although your ParkZone F4U Corsair PNP comes almost ready to fly, this aircraft is for experienced RC pilots only
and is not a toy! Misuse of the plane can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Therefore, only an
experienced RC pilot should fly it.
If you are not experienced at flying one of HobbyZone’s 3-channel aircraft, or any other 3-channel radio controlled
aircraft, we recommend that you do not fly this aircraft. If you still choose to fly, you will need to seek the help of
an experienced radio control pilot during your first several flights. This is especially important if you have not flown
a 3-channel airplane with aileron control as one of the channels. Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.
Caution!
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Step 2
Installing the Receiver
Carefully plug in the servo leads into the corresponding
channels of the receiver you have chosen. Confirm that
the servo leads/plugs are in the correct channel of the
receiver. Do this by:
1. Turning on the transmitter (Refer to your radio’s
instructions for further information).
2. Installing a charged flight battery
3. Plugging flight battery into ESC
4. Checking all functions to ensure proper setup
Keep all body parts away from the propeller. You can
also make any trim adjustments to the control surfaces
at this time. Once you are satisfied that the channels
are functioning correctly, you can turn off the radio
system. Install the receiver into the allotted space within
the fuselage. Make sure it is secure. Carefully route the
antenna (when applicable) so it exits the fuselage just
behind the canopy. It should then simply fall along the
fuselage and can be secured through the vertical stab.
When the antenna is routed correctly, it should hang
several inches (5”–7”) below the fuselage.
