Parkzone F4U Corsair RC plane?
If I am relatively good at flight sim video games and know relativley well how to use ailerrons, rudders etc… would I be able to fly a Parkzone F4U Corsair RC airplane? And if I DID land too hard, they seems relatively “repairable” ?
I am also quite an experienced modeller and am more than adequate at doing small repairs…
I just don’t want to blow 279 dollars on a toy that I destroy in 7 seconds 
I tried the Pheonix RC simulator with a Corsair at this shop and id fairly well with it, but I’m still not sure.
This is a highly maneuverable plane, BUT it is NOT the plane for a beginner for several reasons:
1. It is a low wing aircraft, and the “gull” wing makes it a bit tricky to land, especially in “breezy” weather unless you can land DIRECTLY into the breeze. (I have a “scale” Corsair using a .60 with retracts and flaps, somewhat larger!)
2. It is a “tail-dragger”, which DOES require additional skills for takeoff as they do NOT handle as easily as a “tricycle” gear, nor do they land the same, REQUIRING you to know how to “flare” on landing IF it is close to scale.
This plane does NOT have retractable landing gear, so it SHOULD be able to take slightly rougher landings than similar planes with retracts.
Note that it is FOAM construction, therefore very light AND difficult to repair, (parts are USUALLY replaced, rather than repaired, and that CAN get expensive.)
My suggestion would be to buy a high-wing trainer FIRST, and work up to more advanced models.
Sims are fine, (I use one myself to keep in practice somewhat,) but REAL planes DO fly differently.
You MIGHT also consider a kit WITHOUT radio, and buy a 6 channel, (or greater,) radio so that when you DO move up to more advanced models, you will not need to replace your radio transmitter; since you say you are an experienced modeler you should have no trouble assembling a kit plane.

Airplane! $6.00 The quintessential movie spoof that spawned an entire genre of parody films, the original Airplane! still holds up as one of the brightest comedic gems of the ’80s, not to mention of cinema itself (it ranked in the top 5 of Entertainment Weekly’s list of the 100 funniest movies ever made). The humor may be low and obvious at times, but the jokes keep coming at a rapid-fire clip and its targets–pr… |
