E-fliteRC Airplane F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m BNF Basic Transmitter Battery and Charger Not Included with AS3X and Safe Select EFL18550

Surprise my Husband for his 60th Birthday with this plane. He Loves this Plane and Fly's with grace and lands so easy.

This is the second F4 Elite I've had. The first one, the left landing gear didn't work. Sent it back. The second F4, one of the pins that hold the landing strut in fell out. HORIZON sent me an entire new set of landing gear for me to install. I took it to the park and had 3 smooth landings. WOOHOO!! on the fourth flight, the pin fell out. You wont know the pin fell out until it lands and the gear collapses. You can see the damage on the landing in the pic. I finally soldered the struts into place and flew around with the gear permanently out. It's a shame the landing gear is the wink link, because it's so fun to watch fly in the air.

Rapid WearHouse was excellent!! Got my plane in just a few days and it was perfect out of the box 📦 Love this lil Corsair! Flys fantastic and loads of fun.

The retractable landing gear looks great as it rotates but . The strut pins DO NOT stay in. They fall out , your gear wheels fall to the ground then you have to crash land. It's a common thing. Several clips on tube showibg faulty landing gear. Those pins are easily lost and you can't find tgem to buy ANYWHERE. Further you can't buy new landing gear after you lose the pins. Nobody sells them. I've had to fly with my gear down for 2 out of the 2 and 1/2 months I've had the plane. Wish I'd never bought it. Parts are very hard to get.

The pin that rotates the landing gear fell out 2nd flight, the under wing tank fell off in flight 3rd flight. The landing gear pin falls out almost every flight. The landing gear does not stay slightly toe in. The landing gear bends almost every flight. Been flying 60 years, taught 80+ people how to fly.... I know how to land. Plain crappy quality period. Shame on you Horizon Hobby. Bought for grandson. $350.... to much for cheap foam!

I have no choice but to return this plane as it will not activate AS3X or SAFE. I have sent details of my issue to Horizon Hobbies and Spectrum. I have other E Flight plane that activate AS3X and SAFE without issue. This plane will not.

retracts are a crap set up, talked to horizon hobby and they know about said problem, but its like , oh well-tried to return it to Amazon and buy a p-47 razorback, but here again Amazon would not help me.DO NOT BUY THIS RETEACTS ARE GARBAGE.

The box and plane itself was already broken and I don’t like it.
