Range Test
After you have finished the final assembly,
it is time to range check the radio system within the
F4U Corsair PNP.
Prior to each flying session:
Make sure that no one around may be flying, or is
getting prepared to fly, on the same channel that you
are on. After this is confirmed, turn on the transmitter
prior to plugging in the flight battery. With the airplane
on the ground and motor running, you should walk away
approximately 100 feet (35 meters) and still have full
control of all functions. If this is not the case, do not fly!

Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your
ParkZone F4U Corsair PNP. It is ideal for you to fly at
an AMA sanctioned flying field. If you are not flying at
an AMA approved site, always avoid flying near houses,
trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful
to avoid flying in areas where there are many people,
such as busy parks or school yards. Always follow local
ordinances. We recommend only flying your Corsair in
light winds.
Prior to each flight:
•Always make sure your F4U Corsair PNP is properly
trimmed.
• Always make sure the receiver, ESC, and battery
are properly secured.
• Always verify the propeller is on securely.
• Always ensure the servo reversing switches on the
transmitter are set correctly.
• Always verify the dual rates switch is set at where
you plan on flying. We recommend LOW rates for
your initial flying. The F4U Corsair PNP is VERY
maneuverable on high rates and requires a lot of
experience to handle properly.
Center of Gravity Location:
The center of gravity on your F4U Corsair PNP should
be located approximately 2-1/2” (63mm) behind the
leading edge of the wing, when measured against the
fuselage. This CG location has been determined with
the ParkZone 1800mAh 11.1V Li-Po battery installed.
