Scale flying, sport flying or aerobatics, this Corsair can do it all. While you are airborne the ESC can provide you with many real-time power system related telemetry data that includes battery voltage, current, motor RPM and more via compatible receivers, including the AR631, using Smart or non-smart batteries, and, using Spektrum Airware equipped transmitters.

A pilot figure and panel lines are just some of the scale details included on the composite reinforced, lightweight, durable and fully moulded EPO airframe of the E-flite F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m. There is no glue required to assemble this RC warbird and it is quick and easy to put together. It disassembles easily with a removable wing for easy transportation and storage.

Exclusive Spektrum technology

When you have your E-flite F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m in the air you will enjoy the benefits of Spektrum AS3X technology which works behind the scenes making hundreds of minor tweaks and adjustments in order to maintain rock-solid stability which actually makes it feel like you are flying a much bigger aircraft.

You also get optional-use SAFE Select which, with the flick of a switch, engages pre-set pitch and bank angle limits and also has an automatic self-levelling function that will kick in if you lose control of the Corsair warbird. If you feel your flying ability does not need this safety blanket then just bind your receiver normally and only AS3X will be in operation.
