I thought the stall issue was the left wing stalling before the right
wing. I understand the "fix" was to install a small wedge-shaped vortex
generator on the leading edge of the right wing of the Corsair at the
bottom of the "U". This made the right wing stall at the same time as
the left wing so the aircraft settled in a wings-level attitude at stall
onset.

When tested by the USN it was found that the Corsair was not suitable
for use on carriers:
1 Long nose obscured sight of the deck
2 oil leaks over cockpit glass
3 undercarriage oleos would bottom out and bounce the aircraft of the
landing wire
4 Abrupt stall.

The royal Navy overcame 1 via a curved semi-circular approach and 2 by
wiring the cowling shut over the windows.

How were all of the other problems solved to allow carrier opperations?
