Is this the gas or electric ARF F4U Corsair? I'm guessing it's the electric, in which case you need 2 micro servos, something like Futaba S3103 or S3108, or the Hi-Tech HS55 or similar. You don't need to change the radio, just buy the servos.

It's the gas kit.

 Servos for Corsair

OK, then that kit takes 4 standard servos. If they didn't come with the radio, then you can buy them cheaply but get a good make - JR, Futaba or Hi-Tech for example. Here's a good selection, http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVPROFIL=++&FVSEARCH=standard+servos - get the best you can afford, but it's not necessary to get digital ones. Metal gears are preferable over plastic.
