The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War.
Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand; additional production contracts were given to Goodyear, whose Corsairs were designated FG, and Brewster, designated F3A.
The Corsair was designed and operated as a carrier-based aircraft, and entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy in late 1944 and early 1945. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of World War II. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter of World War II, and its naval aviators achieved an 11:1 kill ratio. Yet early problems with carrier landings and logistics allowed it to be eclipsed as the dominant carrier-based fighter by the Grumman F6F Hellcat, powered by the same Double Wasp engine first flown on the Corsair's first prototype in 1940.
Instead, the Corsair came to and retained prominence in its area of greatest deployment: land-based use by the U.S. Marines.
The Corsair served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria. In addition to its use by the U.S. and British, the Corsair was also used by the Royal New Zealand Air Force, French Naval Aviation, and other air forces until the 1960s.
From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured in 16 separate models. Its 1942-53 production run was the longest of any U.S. piston-engined fighter

Really enjoyed this series Rob, it's been both engrossing and educational - delving into a much overlooked and traditional hands-on type of modelling which is sadly rarely seen today. I must say the finished model looks superb, you have done a sterling job with attention to detail in all areas being spot on with nothing overlooked. Great upload and a fantastic tutorial...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...Five Star series Rob.

Hello Cosmo. WOW! What an absolutely amazing comment my friend. Sorry for the delay in replying but I am finding it difficult to express in words how much it means to me. I am just dumbstruck and all I can come up with is thank you so very, very much it means the world to me.

[@thecontractor365]

@@robbrennanbalsawoodplanes Absolutely no problem Rob, your very welcome.

[@davidfleming2945]

Enjoyed the build with Rob Brennan. I was surprised how small and intricate of the "VMC" version of the Vought F4U-4 Corsair is.

[@davidfleming2945]

I enjoyed the series of the build. It was interesting to find out that it was a series of videos, 1-18, as opposed to one single video as other videos appear to be,with other builds.

This is no beginners Kit! You really did a fantastic job on this. 👏👏👏👏 If you didn't need the rubber band, the excellent work you did on the Canopy, would really look amazing with a Pilot and even a rudimentary Cockpit... Maybe an idea for me - but this WOULDN'T be my first!!! Kudos Rob! Carmine 🚂🚙

[@robbrennanbalsawoodplanes]

Yes mate if you built it as a static model it would put that finishing touch to it. I do agree may be not for someone who has never built one before, but shouldn't be too bad once you have one or two under your belt. Thank you so much for the compliment mate.

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Compliments are richly deserved Mate!! 👍👍 This is something that I would try, after getting a few easier ones knocked out first. To get rid of the temptation, I'd have to fly at least one of my first...

[@coco280144]

I don't know if you will read this, but I thank you very much for your video. I built the whole model using your tips, and the result is wonderful! Keep doing these high quality vids :) a fan from France

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Great job rob looks fantastic thanks for the great comment on my manta ray I think you built a heart breaker my friend you will cry if she breaks beautiful corsair

[@robbrennanbalsawoodplanes]

Many thanks Brent. I think you have to get into the mind set that it is going to break at some point. So hope for the best but expect the worst so that when it does break you just pick it up and hopefully are able to mend it. If I didn't think like that I don't think I would ever take any of them out but as with my RC cars they are made to fly so one day I will get out with them. Thanks for following the series buddy.

@@robbrennanbalsawoodplanes that s how I think about my rc planes I like a good crash even if it's my own lol

[@BikeXCountryMTB]

thank you so much! now I got the rubber band "trick" :)

[@robbrennanbalsawoodplanes]

Glad I could help! and thanks for watching my friend.

[@owenneufeld4922]

Mr. Brennan thank you so much for uploading these super informative videos, without the tissue covering tutorials I would've never been able to finish my own plane, a Guillows authentic scale f6f hellcat, to the level of beauty seen here on this channel. I've looked up and down KZbin for any and all tutorials on stick and tissue planes only to come up short time and time again. As far as I can tell your channel is the only one that really takes time to break down the WHOLE process step-by-step with no unnecessary jump cuts or skipping that seem to plague a lot of other channels. Again many thanks for the videos and keep up the amazing work!

[@JeffPhillips2014]

Very nice. Would really like to watch you trim one out.

[@NSRBOY250]

Really liked seeing this build I did not realise that it had a rubber band in it. I would be scared to use it out side just incase it crashed. Once again brilliant videos and thanks for sharing with us all 👍

[@robbrennanbalsawoodplanes]

Hi Kirk. Most people say it is better to fly them outside on grass if possible especially for beginners like me as it helps to cushion crashes and limits the damage. But you need little to wind as they are so light which is something I don't get at all really. It was my pleasure and thank you Kirk for following the series my friend.

[@NSRBOY250]

Rob Brennan Balsa Wood Planes will be looking forward to seeing a flying video 👍 and it was good watching the build
