I bought this as only my third plane, I am fairly new to the hobby, and have just started flying it. It is amazingly stable and easy to fly for someone with as little experience as me. I think this is very much a beginner war bird, and if your a serious about war birds it may disappoint due to lack of speed among other reasons. The quality of this plane, especially the wing mount, isn't great but with a bit of tape you are ready to go. For any one looking to get into war birds for the way it flies and the price I think it's a great option.

Sticker mis l'arrache, celui de l'empennage n'est pas celui de la photo mais un sticker hobbyking trs moche sur un warbird. J'ai d nettoyer et recoller un des boulons qui fixent les ailes car plein de peinture et ne collait pas. la peinture se craquelle un peu partout. Un des pas de vis de l'empennage tait cass. Et en plus pas de notice. C'est ma premire commande sur hobbyking et je suis trs du.

Hi Guys,
I've had heaps of fun with this plane. The foam is brittle and I split the plane in half on the maiden flight. Glued it back together with gorilla glue. Quality is not the best but it flies great and I've had no issues with the electrics. I have broken a few propellers as the landing gear is useless and you have to belly land.
I also switched to a two blade prop and haven't broken it yet.
To sum up I am happy with the plane, flys great and is great value.

My purchased my Corsair a few weeks ago, this is the Art Tech one, though much less expensive, Everything was well packaged with no damage, goes together very well, I flew mine with a Turnigy 1300Mah 3S and 20 grams stick on weight in the battery bay, perfect!, I made the mistake of flying mine on a windy day but I was surprised how well it handled the wind, I hand launched mine and just 'plopped' on the strip for a belly landing. Overall a great little plane at a very good price, go on, treat yourself!

Arrived with a broken tail - Gorilla glue fixed it. Flap strips debonding from wing foam. Packing tape fixed it. Paint flaking from underside of plane. No fix.

REALLY tough to get rudder control arm into servo hole on tail installation. Hope I dont ever have to do that again. The lugs on the tail as well for receiving the screws were IN THE WRONG POSITION for the mating screw location on the tail. Needed to wiggle these loose and reglue in the right spot. Other than these issues, this baby looks great and the brushless motor is really smooth. I'm pretty excited about flying this bird.

Have flown this plane and love it, crashed at least a half a dozen times and glued it back together and it still flyes great. Got another one just to have a spare cause i love it so much. Great at flying inverted . Great for practicing maneuvers, some of them too close to the ground I'm afraid . What else can i say, easy to put together and easy to fly.

I was a little disappointed I didn't realise it wasn't EPO when I ordered it I didn't find out until I crashed it and tried to glue it only to watch it melt before my eyes. Any way does repair easily with foam safe glue.
It is a very nice looking plane a is pretty good value just would be nice in EPO

I love this plane, great for practicing , inverted or any scale pattern. best foamy for the money next t the HK pitts. Thinking of purchasing a second for backup as I did with the HK Blue and white Pitts.
