Possibly the hottest warplane of W.W. II, the Goodyear F2G Super Corsair, a refinement of the fabulous F4U, was designed to counter the totally unexpected advent of the kamikazes, or suicide planes. The war ended before the mighty Super Corsair saw combat and after the war, several were surplused to the racing crowd. One of only two examples are known to exist, the Goodyear F2G-1 Super Corsair #57 won the 1949 Tinnerman trophy and placing 3rd in the Cleveland air races that same year. Only 10 F2U Super Corsairs were produced. They were equipped with engines rated at 3,850 hp.

This F2G-1 model was created for RealFlight by Doug Kaye (DHK79).

The paint scheme is that used by the late pilot Bob Odegaard,

Seven Channels:

Throttle, Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder

Flaps - Controlled by the knob on the top right of the InterLink Controller.

Retracts - Controlled by the 2-position switch located on the front right of the InterLink Controller.

Mild brakes on up elevator.

Dual Rates- Controlled by the 2-position switch located on the front left of the InterLink Controller (forward is low).

The “ASP FS400AR Five cylinder four stroke 64 cc engine – louder” engine sound was used.

This larger scale aircraft variant has had various performance enhancing modifications for RF7, including moving the center of gravity, a “right sized” 4 blade propeller, altered wing incidence angle, and replacement of the overly heavy original engine with a much lighter Desert Aircraft DA-150. The end result of the modifications is “true to life” model flight performance within the boundaries of the RF physics engine.

Fly with the rate switch in the “high” position. Lands well with or without flaps.

This is a very good flying airplane with realistic model flight characteristics. Suitable for pilots above the beginner stage.
