David R Lentz, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Saturday, 27 July, 2024) WOW! A Goodyear-built FG-4 (F4U-4) Super Corsair Racing Airplane! Could one build an exact replica of this from the Trumpeter 1:32nd-scale kit of the F4U-4 Corsair late-war USN carrier-based fighter kit? I saw-well, here in RUclips, on a laptop with a 39.6 cm [15.6-inch] viewscreen-in Trumpeter’s instructions booklet on painting this very colour scheme, with the paint pattern, the markings, the decals placement, etc.; therefore, I reasonably can infer this as the case. What modifications must one then make to rework that kit to an accurate reproduction of a civilian (that is, completely disarmed and demilitarised) aircraft? Does the Trumpeter kit include any alternate parts to that effect?
28 cylinder P&W 4 rows of 7. Used in Bendix race. Built by Goodyear. It was just not fast enough to produce, was designed t kill Kamakase planes. The regular Corsair was just fine.
The beast super Corsair ! 4360 cubic inch Pratt and Whitney the most powerful piston engine ever built 28 cylinder 56 spark plugs and only a few produced when WW2 ended. Designed to hunt and destroy kamikaze pilots at night before reaching our battle groups having night radar. This was in my estimation the meanest machine ever designed by man ! 🤔 Bar none !
Beautiful aircraft! It amazes me how those big radials, when they're at idle, sound like they're a hair's breadth away from tossing parts and gallons of oil all over the apron, but at takeoff power they roar with the power of a lion!! 😂
Simply Fantastically BEAUTIFUL ! If you could please ? What engine are you running in Her , great painting and the Bubble Top fits well with Her lines. Regards FNQ AU
Sir Chris, Race 57 is a stock Super Corsair, F-2G, with the Pratt and Whitney R-4360, 28 cylinder racial engine with about 3,800 horse power. Best regards, Larry
@@f4u-p51videos8 Larry,thank you for replying.For what it is worth I think your Name is highly appropriate! Considering that at the beginning of WWII the V12 of Rolls Royce and others were achieving approximately 1400 HP , and the Napier Sabre the first Compact Aeroplane engine developing 1500 / 2000 HP going on,once the Induction was sorted to develop approximately 4800 HP and.a power to weight ratio of 1.34 much to R R’s delight as they had already copied the Napier ! However apparently the R R copied version only achieved 1500 HP Karma,Justice perhaps ? It must be great to have an “ unstressed “ motor that you know will be super reliable yet achieve power when required ? I fly a WW2 trainer with 450 HP occasionally and theirs plenty of fun to be had ! Our local War Bird Collection and Museum has a Corsair that has been fully restored after rescuing her from a U S Museum we’re they had cut one wing off ,so they could fit it into the Museum never to fly again, wrong see Mareeba War Birds / Airport great job by small crew. Perhaps you have Videos of Engine and Cockpit ? Safe Flying FNQ AU 🇦🇺
Had a very close friend Dr. Mark Wilson (Oklahoma State University DVM) who flew F4U in combat in south Pacific. He is gone but my memories of him and his stories of combat are forever in my mind. Big thanks Mark......
This is what separates the USA from the Rest of the world, people willing to race these awesome aircraft at ground level at full throttle and being allowed to do so .freaking amazing..
She is still flying and on display in Bentonville, AR. She was in the Field House hanger for about a week for a company holiday party about two weeks ago. She was the center piece. Every day on my afternoon walks I would stop by and just stare at her. She is remarkable and a total piece of art. Hard to believe she is 76 years old. She hasn’t aged at all.
That's good to hear I have seen the super corsair at the Seattle museum be cool if her owner entered her in reno this year give dreadnought a challenge
+ M Former WW2 pilot Cook Cleland bought multiple Corsairs for racing, include four of the F2Gs. Race #57 is one of his birds and is more historic as a race plane. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cook_Cleland
I can't imagine why. It's explained above why the plane is painted like that. It's still beautiful, it still sounds amazing and goes like stink. It is, in short, still interesting.
AMAZING Aircraft. The Bubble Top really sets it off. That's what a Corsair SHOULD look like. I'm sure there's old Marine and Navy Fighter Pilots that would've appreciated it. I'm pretty sure this is my FAVORITE Airplane of ALL TIME
IMHO the most beautiful airplane ever made and this one is, if you'll pardon the expression, a real piece of ass! Tucking the gear up early made for such a great shot! Great video, thanx
That's the 4 row insanity, 28 cylinders? Some mixed success in racing... prolly power to weight, both as a racer and as a fighter was an issue (?) ...but wow (!) what a freaking MACHINE!
The Super Corsair was restored exactly the way it was painted when it flew in the 1949 Cleveland Air Races. The engine has a 2.77 to one gear reduction so the one white propeller blade is visible when the propeller is turning.
The Brits said that to do a go-around in a REGULAR Corsair (R-2800), if you applied full throttle, it could flip the plane on its back. I would think you would REALLY need to respect this beautiful bird! What is the engine...an R-3340? Something like that?
Good morning, Sir Michael. The Super Corsair has the Pratt and Whitney R-4360 engine. The Corsair engine does NOT produce enough torque to roll a properly controlled stock Corsair or Super Corsair during a go- around. Engine torque at maximum power is not sufficient to torque roll the Corsair to the left during a go-around if the pilot does not allow the left wing to stall and maintains heading with the rudder and wings level with the ailerons. The Corsair will not roll out of control to the left without first stalling the left wing. At airspeeds slightly above stalling speed, the Corsair has enough right roll authority to prevent an un-commanded left roll. Furthermore, at airspeeds slightly above stalling speed, with maximum engine power, the Corsair has enough right roll authority to perform a 360-degree right roll even with the flaps and landing gear fully extended. The Corsair has a considerably greater rate of roll to the right (against the torque) than it does to the left in un-stalled, power-on flight. Even though torque is a left rolling force, it is not a dominant rolling force. The propeller blades redirect the relative wind upward ahead of the left wing and downward ahead of the right wing. The redirected relative wind increases the angle of attack over the left wing during powered flight. If the wing is already near the critical angle of attack, the additional angle of attack induced by the propeller slipstream can cause the inboard section of the left wing to stall and allow an un-commanded left roll to ensue. The inboard portion of the wing behind the ascending propeller blades stalls first. When the left wing stalls behind the ascending propeller blades, the un-commanded left roll begins. The angle of attack near the wingtip increases as the un-commanded roll progresses. The increase in angle of attack near the left wingtip results primarily from the induced relative wind opposite to the downward movement of the left wingtip. The rate of roll increases dramatically when the critical angle of attack is exceeded near the left wingtip. An un-commanded left roll can occur if the pilot does not control yaw with the rudder. However, the roll is primarily caused by yaw-roll coupling and stalling the left wing, not torque. Yaw-roll coupling, i.e. nose yaws left and left wing loses some lift, can cause an un-commanded left roll. The pilot must prevent the left yaw of the aircraft with right rudder to prevent an out of control left roll during a go-around. Asymmetric propeller thrust and other propeller factors cause the left yaw, not torque. The left yaw spoils some left wing lift and initiates the un-commanded left roll and the roll can stall the wing. It is extremely important to reduce the angle of attack during a bounce recovery and go-around by lowering the aircraft nose. A reduction in angle of attack to prevent the left wing from stalling and the application of right rudder proportional to the amount of power applied to prevent yaw is essential to provide an acceptable margin of safety. A nose high deck angle during a go-around and failure to maintain heading with the rudder during a go-around are ingredients for disaster. Managing angle of attack, i.e. deck angle and maintaining heading with the rudder during a go-around or bounced landing recovery is crucial. It is much more important than the amount of power applied. The amount of power that can safely be used during a go-around is somewhat proportional to how skillfully the pilot controls angle of attack with the elevator and heading with the rudder. Therefore, judicious use of engine power is recommended, but the pilot should be looking outside and preventing yaw, not looking at the manifold pressure gauge. Best regards, Larry

Hi there, I was wondering if I could use parts of this video in a top 10 airplane video that im creating? I would be able to give you full credit for the original content. Thanks
what airport is this?
Wow - 36 cylinders of Pratt & Whitney radial engine.
It’s 28 cylinders, 4 rows of 7 cylinders, if it had 36 cylinders it would have 4 rows of 9 cylinders.
@@johnnylott9700 Thanks for the correction. Yes, I was thinking 4 rows of 9 erroneously.

F2G-1 the absolute rarest of the rare, simply stunning. 🙂🇦🇺
This is the top dog, the meanest, the badest, piston warbird on planet earth. In my opinion ! 🤔
If I had a choice in this matter - I would without doubt pick this machine. Watch and listen to this what I would label ( The Beast ) 👀
Thank you for sharing this video. WOWSERS!!
SIERRA HOTEL!!
The color scheme is hideous, but OMG the sound
+@poervids The color is more historic than the F2G. This plane was one of Cook Cleland's post-war race planes.

That engine is like a moose. You have no idea how big one is until you see it in person.

It’s a shame they left out the pilots name. Larry Perkins is a legend among pilots. He simply is one of the best.

If I could, .... I Would !
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 10 built not many left be careful. I wish Bob never crashed his for his sake and the plane. 😩
I’d give anything to fly that magnificent piece of engineering
