This is the ParkZone F4U-1A Corsair Bind-N-Fly Electric Airplane. Few World War II fighters inspired awe in both friend and foe like the F4U-1A Corsair. Capable of speeds in excess of 400 mph, it left a ghostly howl in its wake that earned it the name "Whistling Death" among enemy troops. For those under its protection, however, there was no sweeter sound on earth.
The ParkZone F4U-1A Corsair is a remarkably scale tribute to this warbird icon that's a blast to fly. Most of its details, including the paint scheme, are already applied for you. A set of bolt-on drop tanks and two sets of decals are included. In the air, its potent 15-size, 950Kv brushless motor will deliver all the power you need for high-speed strafing runs and spirited sport aerobatics.
For a truly spectacular Corsair experience, add the optional flaps and E-flite® electric retracts.* The model has been designed to make installing these options quick and easy, and its Spektrum™ AR600 receiver has all the channels you’ll need.
*Requires two ParkZone SV80 Servos (PKZ1081) and E-flite 10- to 15-size 90-Deg Rotating Electric Retracts (EFLG120), all sold separately.

ParkZone F4U-1A Corsair Bind-N-Fly Electric Airplane
Great flyer, but the quality is suspect. Like the previous reviewer noted, flaps require either blentherm or CA hinges to work reliably, and in many cases, the aileron hinges require upgrading as well. Sort of sucks to buy a new plane and have to hack it up and upgrade before first flight. Of course, this is after buying and installing the additional flap servos.
Then, if you want the retracts, you buy and install, only to find out that the trunnions will fail. I've had 2 sets replaced by HH, after less than 10 landings. Oh, then the retract ball link are very weak and are about 1mm from the screw which secures the retracts to the wing. Because the clearance is so close, it's very easy to damage the ball link which yields the retracts inoperable.
Net - the plane flies great when everything is working well, unfortunately, it takes some patience and $ to get everything sorted.

What an awesome plane!!!!.....this thing is super stable and handles like dream........however if you install the flaps they need hinge tape.....they become very fragile once you cut them loose.
