all I know at this time is I believe that the Champlin air museum in Arizona has an F4U Corsair with a P&W R4360 corn cob engine in it, I don't have any information on the plane, or it's history, but I remember seeing it there a few years ago, I do know that the museum is going to close in the next month or two and most of the airplanes are going to be moved to Washington (state) or Oregon.
