Flying
We recommend only fl ying your F4U Corsair
in light winds. Always avoid fl ying near hous-
es, trees, wires and buildings. You should also
be careful to avoid fl ying in areas where there
are many people, such as busy parks, school-
yards, or soccer fi elds. Consult local laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to fl y
your aircraft.
Place the F4U Corsair in position for takeoff
(facing into the wind if fl ying outdoors).
Gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full, and
steer with the rudder. Pull back gently with
the elevator and climb to check trim. Once
the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the fl ight
envelope of the F4U Corsair.
Note: Due to the large propeller on the F4U
Corsair, it is possible to hit the prop on the
ground while landing. Make sure to fl are
when landing and try to land as smoothly
as possible to minimize hitting the prop.
While this does not damage the airplane it is
possible to wear down the
tips of the propeller if fl ying
from an abrasive surface
such as concrete or asphalt.
Failure to lower the throttle
stick and trim to the lowest
possible positions during a
crash could result in damage
to the ESC in the receiver
unit, which may require replacement.
Note: Crash damage is not covered under
warranty.
Repairs
Repair the Corsair using foam-compatible CA
glue or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible
CA glue, as other types of glue can damage
the foam. When parts are not repairable, see
the Replacement Parts List for ordering by
item number.
Note: For a listing of all replacement and
optional parts, refer to the list at the back of
this manual.
