Vought F4U "Corsair"

***Roll explanation URL at end***

From 1942-53, 12,571 of these fighter bombers were produced for battling threats of the sky and land. However, Corsairs had their issues in some areas just as every aircraft does. Charles Lindbergh flew an F4U during WW2, and put 4,000lbs worth of bombs at his disposal. Two variations were produced, one with 4 20mm cannons and the other with 6 12.7mm guns. This is the 12.7mm verison.

Controls:
Standard plane controls.
Take it easy on landing, the brake is sensitive.

Roll explanation:

It's more noticeable at high throttle, so don't go 100% on takeoff. This plane does fight back, be warned.

Enjoy!

    Amazing plane, but using the word ‘disabilities’ to describe a plane sounds a bit weird (and is incorrect grammar). I would recommend using ‘issues’ or ‘problems’ instead.
