Black Horse F4U-1D Corsair 2280mm (89.7″) Wingspan – ARF

F4U-1D Corsair 2280mm (89.7″) Wingspan from Black Horse – Balsa Wood ARF – BHM1000-001

The Corsair was designed and operated as a carrier-based aircraft, and entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy in late 1944 and early 1945. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of World War II. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II and its naval aviators achieved an 11:1 kill ratio.

The model is scaled to approximately 1:5 and attention was paid to a true to original appearance and best flight characteristics. The model can be operated using an electric power system or with an internal combustion engine about 60cc displacement.
