Description
FOR VERSION 1.2!
It's now fully made of oak and some aluminium instead of mainly foam, some oak and some aluminium and it flies pretty well albeit a little like an RC-plane.

My version of the Vought F4U-4 Corsair carrier-based fighter.

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

This is the pure fighter version armed with 6 .50 caliber machine guns (I use double machine guns to somewhat emulate the power of the .50 cal).

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw. *
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.**
L/Headlights: Approach light.
K/Hazard lights: Sight light.
Hold X/Invert steering: Fold wings.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns.
Fire action 8/Num 8: Arrestor hook.

*I do not know why it often tends to veer off course so badly on the ground above 90-100kph. I've changed the landing gear several times, added extra stabilising fins internally etc. but nothing seems to help. Sorry about that.

**The real gear turned the wheels 90 degrees so they would lie flat inside the wing. I use the max steering angle of 60 degrees to simulate this. The only way to get them 90 degrees is with an actuator, but adding rotating actuators to the landing gear makes them very wobbly so this will have to suffice.

Feel free to edit, but if you re-upload publically in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

The fluid dynamics/aerodynamics changed a LOT between 1.2 and 1.3 so any plane built in 1.2 or earlier versions will struggle. All my planes that I've converted to 1.3 has 1.3 in the name so make sure you look for that.
Hope the 1.3 version works better for you. :)

This is an old version suitable for version 1.2 of the game, you should use the version for 1.3 (and above) found here:
