specifically designed to handle Li-Po batteries, such 

as the ParkZone 2- to 3-cell Li-Po Charger (PKZ1040). 

Regardless of the battery you choose, always follow the 

charger and battery instructions in order to avoid any 

damage to the battery, charger, property or yourself.

Charging Your Flight Battery

We recommend that you choose either the 2200mAh 

3S Li-Po (PKZ1030) or the ParkZone 1800mAh 3S 

Li-Po (PKZ1031) to power your F4U Corsair PNP. The 

Li-Po battery must be charged with a charger that is 

Step 1

Step 2

Installing the Receiver 

Carefully plug in the servo leads into the corresponding 

channels of the receiver you have chosen. Confirm that 

the servo leads/plugs are in the correct channel of the 

receiver. Do this by:

1.  Turning on the transmitter. (Refer to your radios 

instructions for further information)

2. Installing a charged flight battery.

3. Plugging flight battery into ESC.

4. Checking all functions to ensure proper setup. 

Keep all body parts away from the propeller. You can 

also make any trim adjustments to the control surfaces 

at this time. Once you are satisfied that the channels 

are functioning correctly, you can turn off the radio 

system. Install the receiver into the allotted space within 

the fuselage. Make sure it is secure. Carefully route the 

antenna (when applicable) so it exits the fuselage just 

behind the canopy. It should then simply fall along the 

fuselage and can be secured through the vertical stab. 

When the antenna is routed correctly, it should hang 

several inches (5”–7”) below the fuselage.
