Couldn’t be happier

Feb 03, 2025

Flies superb, got this on sale in early Jan 25 and couldn’t be more satisfied. Very good price, as some of the other reviews, did not mount any of the drop tanks or rockets. I did cut out and glue in some magnets into the drop tanks, and may slap them back on in the future. That would be my only drawback, that the tanks and rockets be magnetic rather than glue on. The pieces themselves look great.

Looks and Fly's amazing

Jun 11, 2024

Great looking plane. Easy to assemble as it's mostly done for you.
I didn't add any extra weight just shove the 2s or 3s lipo right to the front. Flew out my hand with a light toss like it was on rails. COG was approx 45-47mm from the leading edge
I didn't add any of the extra Drop Tanks and stuff plus it looks abit naff flying around with the wheels on. Belly landing not a problem, even with the 3 blade prop.
Great plane all-round and just the right size to fit in the boot of the car

Great little flyer.

Apr 05, 2023

Like many smaller warbirds, this one can be difficult to take off or launch but once in the air, it is a great little flyer. With a 2S battery, it is quiet and effective. Perfect for a morning flight when you are tired of flying your glider and want something more exciting but still peaceful enough to not bother others. Superb park flyer and a lot of fun. Don't go too slow or it will tip stall, but it is easy to repair.

Great little airplane.

Mar 17, 2023

This is a great little airplane that doesn't require much. Like all warbirds, it does best with speed. WWII fighter aircraft were designed to go fast. Any replica is going to have the same characteristics. Keep the speed up and this little bent wing plane will behave. Go slow and you will encounter some weird stall characteristics that are the same for the F4U no matter what size. Flaps would help a little with slower speeds, but with a curved wing, getting a flap size that would work may be too difficult. For the price... this is an awesome plane to experiment with.

Nice plane, flies very well

Dec 07, 2022

Very nice and detailed model. I fly it with gyro on Expert mode. With a 3S 1000mAh all forward in the nose the CG is perfect! (some millimeter rear than CG in the manual). A couple of trim up elevator and it flies like on rails. Hand launch by myself very easy to do... a little push and it starts right and steady. Very fast on full throttle. Never tried in beginner mode. I fly without landing gear.

A gorgeous park flyer, well worth the money and effort

Nov 21, 2022

This is a plane that I've wanted to buy for a long time. I my humble opinion, it's the best looking Corsair in the park flyer category. It has a ton of scale details, the paint job is amazing and the included electronic package is very good: Decent servos, powereful motor, and a stabilizer. I ordered a tiny Radiomaster R81 from HK, and connected it as SBUS, a very clean Rx setup.
My plane came in good shape, the box did a very good job at protecting it and the foam was undamaged. However the clevis on the elevator was broken. This is not so bad since two spare clevis were included in a bag. The rod for the elevator was about 10mm too long so it was impossible to adjust it properly by turning the clevis. The solution was to remove the rod, cut it at the servo end and make new z-bend. Then it worked perfectly and it became possible to make mechanical adjustments. Another small annoyances: The impossibility to purchase spare props as they're simply never in stock, but of course, substitutions are always possible... And with the recommended HK supplied batteries, it's impossible to hit the CG as stated. So I've added extra weights, or you could try your luck with a CG approx 5-10mm towards the rear.
Overall I'm very happy with this plane, it's gorgeous and flies great. The few minor things I had to fix were not showstoppers. I hope to see the HKing brand offer a 750mm Zero soon!

Cockpit needs to be larger. Had to add a lot weight to the front for C of G. Instruction poor

Tolles kleines Flugzeug

Nov 09, 2022

Die Corsair ist ein kleines qualitatives hochwertiges Flugzeug.
Ich hatte leider zum Anfang versucht die corsair mit einem 3s 1100mah Akku mit 93g zu fliegen, damit ist sie aber viel zu kopflastig.
Starten auf Räder war so unmöglich auch handstarts waren grenzwertig.
Ich habe dann den Akku getauscht auf 3s 850mah von sls mit 70g und sie flog wie ein Traum. Schwerpunkt passt perfekt Starten auf der Startbahn ohne Probleme ( Kunstrasen). Flugzeiten von 5-6min sind kein Thema.
Ich habe später noch den Propeller gewechselt weil es keine Ersatzteil gibt. Ich fliege die corsair jetzt mit einem zweiblatt Propeller 9x6 damit geht sie richtig gut.
Ich würde sie mir immer wieder kaufen.
