Vought F4U Corsair

82 RamboSambo  9.3 years ago

My attempt at the F4U Corsair naval fighter. The wings may not be bent as sharply as the real thing, but I found bending the wings more has a negative effect on performance. Activation group 1 is to unlock the tail gear for taxiing on the runway. The acceleration is not that great, and I must admit that the stock P-51 outperforms it when it comes to speed and stability.
