RC Plane Freewing FlightLine F4U-1A Corsair "Bubble Top" 1600mm – PNP Version

A faithful replica of the legendary F4U Corsair fighter, ready to rule the skies.

Step into the world of legendary warbirds with this 1/8 scale radio-controlled model of the iconic F4U-1A Corsair "Birdcage" by FlightLine and Freewing.

This electric RC plane with a 1600mm wingspan captures all the power and elegance of one of WWII’s most iconic fighters, known for its inverted gull wings and high performance.

A legendary WWII aircraft, faithfully recreated.

Originally designed for carrier and land-based operations, the Vought F4U Corsair stood out for its impressive top speed (up to 640 km/h) and exceptional agility.

With an outstanding combat kill ratio of 11:1 in the Pacific theater, it ranked among the most effective piston-engine fighters of its time. The Corsair remained in military service through the Korean War and still flies today under civilian operators.

A highly detailed, true-to-scale RC model

The FlightLine F4U Corsair 1600mm PNP stands out with its quality finish and premium materials. Molded from durable EPO foam, it features numerous injection-molded plastic parts for enhanced scale realism and easy assembly. All control surfaces come pre-installed and can be assembled quickly using screws.

Its advanced multi-material wing structure (foam, plywood, carbon, plastic, aluminum) offers a balance of strength and lightness, ensuring excellent maneuverability in flight—on par with other top-tier models like the Spitfire Mk.IX 1600mm or the Freewing A-10 Warthog.

Realism, technology and power combined

This electric Corsair PNP comes with a 5055-390KV brushless motor, a custom-designed three-blade propeller, and an 80A ESC.

The result: outstanding flight performance, dynamic vertical climbs, smooth loops at just 50% throttle, and efficient cruising at 40-50% throttle.

Take-offs are smooth, even without flaps, and the aircraft performs a wide range of aerobatic and scale maneuvers with ease.

Its retractable landing gear, complete with aluminum legs and large wheels, is suitable for grass runways. Precision-molded sequenced gear doors enhance realism.

Smart and customizable design

To suit pilot preferences, the inner cowling features eight hidden tubes for lead ballast, allowing weight adjustment based on LiPo battery size.

For instance, ballast can be added when using a 4000mAh battery or removed with a 6000mAh or larger. Refer to the manual for the recommended center of gravity.
