Keybinds
AG1: Toggle Trim
AG2: Engage Engine & Blade Deploy
AG3: Anti-Torque Elevons (Roll Trim)
Main Throttle: Engine Torque & Blade Angle


Instructions
How to Fly: Press AG1 to Activate the Trim, Then press AG2 and move throttle forward a little. Pull up at 40m/s and fly like any other aircraft, To get to top speed you must slowly advance the throttle as your speed climbs. Do not advance the throttle too fast as a propeller's ideal angle is speed dependant and as such you won't get any power at slow speeds on full throttle.
Top Speed: 210m/s 469mph 754kph

The Aircraft has very powerful engine braking, To slow quickly you must keep your engine on but set your throttle to 0 just before landing. The engine and wheel brakes combined will bring you to a stop in about 50m.


Real World History
The Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand; additional production contracts were given to Goodyear, whose Corsairs were designated FG, and Brewster, designated F3A.

The Corsair was designed and principally operated as a carrier-based aircraft, and entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy and Marines in World War II. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of the war. Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter and U.S. naval aviators achieved an 11:1 kill ratio. Early problems with carrier landings and logistics led to it being eclipsed as the dominant carrier-based fighter by the Grumman F6F Hellcat, powered by the same Double Wasp engine first flown on the Corsair's initial prototype in 1940. The Corsair's early deployment was to land-based squadrons of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy.

The Corsair served almost exclusively as a fighter-bomber throughout the Korean War and during the French colonial wars in Indochina and Algeria. In addition to its use by the U.S. and British, the Corsair was also used by the Royal New Zealand Air Force, French Naval Aviation, and other air forces until the 1960s.

From the first prototype delivery to the U.S. Navy in 1940, to final delivery in 1953 to the French, 12,571 F4U Corsairs were manufactured in 16 separate models. Its 1942–1953 production run was the longest of any U.S. piston-engined fighter.
