Title: F4U Corsair Flies After 1.5yrs in storage
Post by: Flyn on June 03, 2013, 12:02:25 PM
Hi all, just thought I'd share - flew my Corsair yesterday after being stored for 1.5yrs! It started on the 2nd spin & was faultless all day.

BTW its a 60 size HAnger 9 with an OS 94 4 stroke

Thought I'd add these pic's as its tough to gauge the size of the plane.

That's my 2.8m glider & X900 tri in the background!!

Cheers Dizzy,

I just love the way it flies, the gull wings make bank like its on rails & it just sits so nice in the turn, its surprisingly acrobatic - you can't beat it.

It has a OS 94 4 stroke that gives it great power.

It's one model I'd never sell.
