About the Nexa F4U Corsair 1810mm ARF
With its inverted gull wing and wide stance, the Nexa F4U Corsair 1810mm is a big model that turns heads. At 71.3" span, it’s large enough to feel commanding in the air but still easy to transport thanks to its three-piece wing design. Built from laser-cut balsa and plywood with a fiberglass cowl, it’s a solid warbird platform that’s ready for either gas, glow, or electric power.
Big Hog vs White 167 – What’s the Difference?
Both Corsairs fly the same—it’s the paint job that sets them apart. The Big Hog wears the three-tone VF-17 Jolly Rogers camo flown by John T. Blackburn, while the White 167 goes with VF-84’s all-blue Pacific scheme from Roger R. Hedrick’s aircraft. So the choice is simple: do you like the rugged camo look, or the clean deep-blue finish?
Battery Recommendations
Most pilots run it on a 10S LiPo battery setup using two 5S 4000–5000mAh packs in series. That combo gives you over four minutes of flight time—enough for barrel rolls, big loops, and those classic low Corsair passes—without pushing your packs too hard. Larger packs can stretch the time further if you want.
Why CNHL LiPo Batteries?
While the official setup mentions Admiral packs, many pilots trust CNHL batteries for their punch, durability, and value. From 5S 4000mAh packs for light handling to 5000mAh+ options for longer flights, CNHL gives you the flexibility to match your flying style. Pairing two 5S packs together makes a reliable 10S LiPo battery option that the Nexa Corsair handles beautifully.
