I too, like pootercs, am looking for f4u training. Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated.

Bfast,

What in particular were you looking for?

A lot of different planes, to be honest.

All of the F4u's for certain, definitely a plane I want to learn and master.

I go between planes week to week, but I gotta start with something sometime. And from what I hear(only minimal experience) the corsair is a great plane.

If I had to choose one to begin with it would be the A.

1A is my favorite of the unperked Hogs. IMO--and this is excluding the -4, which is really a class in of itself--she's the best pure dogfighter of the group. She's the fastest (excluding the 4) and has the tightest turning radius, with acceleration and climb roughly on par with the 1D/C. She also has more fuel through two wing tanks which can be manipulated to help counterbalance torque of the engine, plus both extending your range without the need of a drop tank as well as providing a handy reserve in case your fuel is hit (which ALWAYS seems to happen in the F4Us. First thing to go is inevitably main fuel).

4brkfast,

I'm open for most of the rest of the week, except Tuesday.  9:00 p.m. central time normally works best for me but can do others if needed.  Just shoot me a pm  or reply here if interested.
