This item is discontinued and no longer available for purchase. You may want to search our site for a similar item.
Now made with Maker Foam the FT Corsair represents a new chapter of Flite Test scratch built aircraft! Using techniques developed by John Overstreet which he has also used in his metalworking, this plane uses "mold together" techniques instead of the traditional "fold together" techniques that Flite Test planes are primarily known for. Peeling the paper and curving the foam not only gives the airplanes amazing scale looks but also makes it fly as good as it looks!
On this Corsair, you'll notice the beautiful curves in the airfoil and the fuselage that is a result of some of the new techniques that we are introducing. While some of these techniques will feel new if this is not your first Flite Test build, please know that once you learn them, they will be carrying over to future Flite Test aircraft so you can put them to use on future designs. There are also techniques used in the build that you are going to be very familiar with if you have built previous Flite Test aircraft.
This aircraft has a very wide envelope of speed and performance to match your skill level. Though this airplane does introduce some new build techniques you can consider it a beginner to an intermediate flyer! Bumping it up to a 4 cell battery can even give the most advanced pilots a great experience.

Flite Test Master Series Corsair "Maker Foam" Electric Airplane Kit (1168mm)
I bought the original foam board version of this and it went together very nicely. I did have a little trouble with the rear fuselage fitting together flush, but after compressing the foam on either side it's not even noticeable. After a navy blue satin finish it looks very close to the real thing. I run it on a 2200 3s and it has PLENTY of power. Only down side to the 3s is that I had to add a good bit of weight to the nose even with the battery as far forward as it would go. My advice would be to just go with the 4s so you have more weight and more power as well. Overall a very nice Flite-Test plane.

This is a great plane. Went together very well considering this was my first build. I used spare parts laying around from crashed planes. With a 2200 3s I can fly at 20% throttle and enjoy it for well over 10 minutes. Crank up the power and she will climb out of sight. Very stable and smooth. Hand tosses with ease and floats like a feather for landings. I have to land with no power and almost force it to the ground. Only problem I had is esc and battery get very warm so I made some breathing holes in it to get air in and out. Great job flite test.
