This is my model of my F4U Corsair WWII fighter aircraft. The F4U Corsair, being a taildragger, have some requirements for approach and takeoff procedure. On approach, it should be done at full stall speed, nose high altitude. Be sure to hold the stick back while taxiing or taking off to hold the tailwheel down to the ground for steering authority. When around 80 knots or so, apply right aileron as the torque from the engine may cause the plane to swivel left when taking off. As per usual, feel free to customize and modify to improve reliability and stability of the aircraft. Comes with default weaponry of 4 20mm cannons and rockets for air to air combat. No heatseeking missiles at that time!
