          No that is the Flight line P-38 and I have one in the box in kit form that I bought piece by piece as I could pay for it, with that said I should have just bought another one complete and saved money. :Scared:;)

          PS The P-38 and the Corsair are my fav. prop job and F-15 and F-14 are my fav. turbine

            Heck yeah, I love the p38, my second is p39 followed by the hellcat. Then is the Corsair. Then my top 5 round up is the mustang...

                In the bomber class it would be the Catalina, b26, b36, b17 and avenger.

                    I am new again to the rc scene, but my 2nd plane was a Corsair!!! Granted, not a high buck unit, but the HH Corsair, but I love the thing. Looks good, flies like a dream and just plain sexy in the air. The lack of retracts and crappy landing gear is making me get another in the fiture, but still love the plane

                      One of my first RC electric planes was the Parkzone Corsair. Oh man I loved that bird...I upgraded the motor/ESC and put a Master Airscrew 3 blade on it and it had unlimited vertical. Flew the beejeezus out of her. Probably logged over 300 flights. I will always have a warm spot in my heart for that model.

                        I picked up one at our clubs auction last fall. I've only got a couple of flights on it before it turns cold but it sure seem to fly really nice. I wish it were still in production so I could get a brand-new one.

                          I always wanted one, but that plane at the time was too rich for an E3 on a budget lol. Had to settle for used planes during that time.

                            It was a fantastic flyer. Had no complaints, especially once I overhauled her power. You could yank and bank the crap out of her. Such light wing loading she was super forgiving. She would stall but she didn't like to. Ah don't make me go on eBay and check for another one... :P

                                I think the magic combo was an E-flite Power 15 with 60A ESC and MA 12x8x3 prop. Man she was a rocket...

                                  I bet! I'm surprised the wings didn't fold up! She had to be pulling some wicked Gs

                                        I have two BNF, one in box with retracts and flap servos and one I fly setup the same and one V1 parkzone with fixed gear and no flaps that I had to skewer the wing on for the wing flopped all over the place. I like Corsairs that much and when I grow up some day I will have the full scale one, at least that was the plan when I was in the Airforce. :Cool:
