ParkZone Ultra Micro Corsair Review



It was an icon of U.S. military might during WWII – a weapon so devastating its foes referred to it as “Whistling Death”. Now the F4U Corsair is making a name for itself as the latest ParkZone Ultra Micro Series scale warbird that you can fly just about anywhere.

We meet with Seth Arnold, the Product Developer on the Corsair to see what has come to life in this new Ultra Micro model. Scale details include a three bladed propeller, authentic paint scheme, molded clear plastic canopy, landing gear with steerable tail wheel, and even two sets of decals. The 4-channel control with elevator, throttle, rudder and aileron provide full control for precise flying and maneuverability. So take a look and get ready to order yours today.

Mike O'Reilly is currently in Nuremberg getting the big "scoop" on new releases launched at the Toy Fair/Trade Show! The International Toy Fair is the world’s leading fair for toys, hobby and leisure-time articles. The fair, which is open exclusively to the specialist trade, is the perfect communication and order platform for both national and international manufacturers as well as specialist traders and buyers from around the globe!

Here is a quick run down on some of the Hottest New Products out of Nuremberg! Thanks Mike!

The Blade mCP X RTF/BNF is the lightest flybarless collective pitch helicopter in its class. It is half the weight of the nearest competition which results in advanced performance, indoors and outdoors.
This helicopter will give transitioning pilots a more agile and capable collective pitch heli that will give them the confidence to master indoor aerobatics without the hesitance which comes with a larger outdoor only platform. (BLH3500AU1/BLH3500AU2/BLH3580)
