    I would only add that they finally dumped the hard-edged leading edge to the flaps and finally rounded them for a more scale look, but otherwise I agree with everything being said about the V3. Had it had that 8S power out of the box I would have bought it by now for sure.
    Same here. I was really excited about this V3, but that power system was a huge let down!

      One of my best flying buddies with his old FMS 1700mm F4U Corsair (the V1 version) is still going great, especially low and slow...

      She got a new prop a couple of years ago after a prop explosion (not the first Corsair that had that problem I believe), but he was able to ditch it in a corn field without any further damage. Prop got replaced by a Ramoser (Varioprop) setup and this is definitely an upgrade.
