"Vought F4U Corsair"

Very possibly the most unique WW2 aircraft.
I built the Top Flight 60 version. It was a beauty!
I had the OS 4 stroke engine for power. Just an awsome sight in the air.

"If you ask, building is the best part"

I'm with you. It is a most satisfying part to this hobby.

Of course going vertical in a slow roll does come a close second.

Careful on low flyovers on the cornfield..... corn stalks will wreck havoc on monokote /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

This was a bad post for me..... got my juices going again for another R/C plane.... may have to visit the local field again, at the county landfill.

You gotta a heli? I gotta a heli!

You guys got helis? I want a heli. Are they as hard to fly as I've heard? I've never flown anything other than a paper airplane /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I have a Raptor 50 and a 90. They are harder to learn than planes and take more maintenance because of all the moving parts. I would like an electric but I am waiting for the prices of the batteries and such to come down.

I have a Corona 120 and a Hummingbird CP. The Corona is tough as nails and is an excellent trainer. The Hummingbird is considered and indoor micro and is very touchy. Not a good trainer!!!!
