This plane is a lot of fun. However, if you are new to the hobby of RC aircraft, I do not recommend this product; check out the J3 Supercub also by Parkzone instead. It is an excellent trainer. Otherwise, read on.

This is my first electric low-wing airplane. Flying electric is a lot less of a hassle than glow engines because you don't have to constantly buy expensive fuel and no one bothers you about the noise (this thing is pretty quiet). The only rub is waiting for the batteries to charge. Trust me, once you have this bird up once, the wait for a fresh battery will drive you nuts.

I bought my ParkZone Corsair RTF recently. Setting it up was very quick; however, I accidentally swapped my front wheels when I snapped them in. They are not marked. If you swap them, the plain will nose down every time you land it. When you install them correctly (left in the left, right in the right;), they will point forward.

It's a great plane, and the most fun plane I've owned so far.

It's truly RTF, and the servos come pre-installed for you. Recently I purchased a cheaper Corsair from Guanli, and the plane was terrible and the wing servos were not pre-installed. You will not regret ParkZone's Corsair though. The plane is...Read more

Park Zone products are the best. Park Zone's customer service and after sale service are the best in the industry. Combined with Amazon, it is a real winner!
