Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone

®

 F4U 

Corsair Plug-N-Play® (PNP). One of the most popular 

Warbirds of WWII, the Corsair was also one of the most 

feared by the Axis powers. Nicknamed the “sweetheart 

of Okinawa” by American pilots and “whistling death” 

by the Japanese, the F4U’s most notable feature was 

the “bent” wing that was necessary to allow clearance 

for its massive propeller, which was powered by the 

incredible Pratt and Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial 

engine. You can now enjoy flying your own F4U with this 

beautiful ParkZone replica.
This airplane comes almost fully assembled in order 

to allow you to get in the air quickly. Your F4U Corsair 

Plug-N-Play already has the 3-wire servos, a ParkZone 

480 outrunner brushless motor and an E-flite Pro 30A 

brushless ESC installed. The decals have already been 

applied, as well. You will only need to add your own 

battery and charger (a 3S 1800+mAh Li-Po battery is 

recommended), as well as a receiver and transmitter. In 

as little as an hour, you can be ready for your first flight 

with the F4U Corsair PNP. This means you can spend 

your time refining your flying skills, not your building 

skills.

F4U Corsair Instruction Manual

Warning:

 

Although your ParkZone F4U Corsair PNP comes almost ready to fly, this aircraft is for experienced RC pilots only 

and is not a toy! Misuse of the plane can cause serious bodily harm and damage to property. Therefore, only an 

experienced RC pilot should fly it.
If you are not experienced at flying one of HobbyZone’s 3-channel aircraft, or any other 3-channel radio controlled 

aircraft, we recommend that you do not fly this aircraft. If you still choose to fly, you will need to seek the help of 

an experienced radio control pilot during your first several flights. This is especially important if you have not flown 

a 3-channel airplane with aileron control as one of the channels. Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Caution!

 

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s 

authority to operate the equipment.
