Parkzone F4u Corsair

摘要

There's no Other warbird like it! The F4U Corsair was developed from the original 1938 Vought V-166B into the Navy designation XF4U-1. Many tweaks were made along the way and its classic inverted gull-wing design was developed to do two things: keep the landing gear as short as possible (for carrier operations) and provide proper ground clearance for its 13.2-foot-diameter, 3-bladed propeller attached to its powerful 2000hp Pratt & Whitney R-2800-8 Double Wasp radial engine. Production of F4U-1 s began in 1942 and the Corsair quickly earned the nickname "Ensign Eliminator" because of its demanding handling characteristics.
