Hey Rich, I got my Valiant from the link you provided and have been cleared to solo (Yeah)! I started last weekend at field. All went well, I've just got to work on smoothing out my landings. THe Valiant flies beautifully, I've just got to eliminate the bounce when bringing her in. Thanks so much, keep the videos coming!
nice clip dear
This is what i have been waiting for, sounds good and windy... :)
I will try to launch another Corsair Video tonight!
Great review with the corsair Rich , i like the corrections you did with it , although i moved mine ahead on the cg about where you have it on the last flight, has the power !! Keep up the great videos on the products , easy learning off yours , explained very well !! Got alot of notes , again, Great Job!!!
Thanks for a good video! A bit dissapointed as I was sure this would be a Flightline killer. But it does look good.
Like the new intro rich. Hope to fly this weekend. Hitting the mid 70s in New Hampshire this week
Took them forever to get the Corsair right, but they did with this model as far as lines, correct angles and correct outline. Looks nice.
Looks squirrelly! Tail heavy.
Amazing man!!!! Just a gorgeous plane and this version is that much better!!
Nice job Steve.. ! Ty4sharing rich.. !
Very nice Rich... cant wait for the 360 motor vidio!!!
I'm editing it now:) Should launch it In a few hours:)
Another great video👍👏.FMS put a bigger motor in 😉
You talked me into it! It is a beautiful bird! Thanks for the info! 👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Thanks for watching & using my links to purchase!
It always sounds like you fly in a Hurricane!
This field is near the coast, it gets windy there.
THIS PLANE IS MADE FOR 6A-7A AND LOOK AT THE FLYING CHARACTERISTICS......GREAT VID! NICE DAY! !
Great review Rich, honest to the point. Great info on how to change the esc timing. Would have been nice if FMS fitted the bigger motor as stock, still a great flyer. Looking forward to the 360 video smile😃
uploading it now!
Great video Rich. Man you have come a long way buddy. You deserve all the subs you get. Your content is better than ever and as always you are so informative with the details. (you live up to the name!) I would love to see a comparison of the FMS and Flightline Corsairs size...maybe a nose to nose picture. It looks like the improvements they have made are right on the mark. Looks like power wise it may need a bit more for scale flying. Really big, smooth loops require a good bit to make them look really scale. (to me anyways) .
Gorgeous aircraft!
Nice brick, nice review.
18 INCH PROP, NICE
Hi guys,love the corsair,like you say not that much punch maybe try a lower pitch prop seems to hit high revs and not going anywhere,thanks for showing the adjustments you made like to see that on all videos,like to see the next flight with changes perhaps with the different prop
Hey Guys! Stay tuned to the channel, I am working on another power option for the Corsair that may allow you to use the stock 300kv motor an get more power! Should have the video in a day or so:)
I am literally testing new power options NOW as I am typing this message! :)
Did FMS want a truly scale flyer I wonder if that's why it was short on power? I really like this model, but bummed that if i purchased it i'd also have to purchase another / bigger motor for it. It's just to short on power in stock form from the looks of it. Can't turn it into an F2G Super Corsair if it doesn't have any power!!!
Seams as if FMS should've recognize the lack of power, that was a major issue with the last Corsair
Yeah, whats up with that. They must know?
I have suggested it several times, I was hoping they would do it on this one...
Found your channel and subscribed today 👍🇺🇸😎❗kudos
Thanks John!
@@RCINFORMER you're welcome.
Looks great, but one thing is missing. They must fit a sound card?
Looking forward to the upgraded motor flight myself. A little disappointed that it doesn't look like it has the punch that it should. Another $90 bucks to make it fly better..... Not what I wanted to hear but I seriously appreciate your honesty with it Rich. I'm sure there's no way they can change the motor at this point but I know they won't have any problem taking your money for the upgrade. Do you think the high winds had any impact on the flight?
Thanks again Rich, love yer channel!
I wanted this plane, but as a matter of principle I won't be buying it. I can't believe FMS has the audacity to send a V3 out with such an obvious deficiency, (The wrong motor/lack of power ) Such a shame. The Flightline is now effectively £200 cheaper once you factor in the added cost this machine requires. Great work as usual from yourself though Rich. Cheers
Looked rather nice to me. Scale, and I'm sure because of the size it's "kinda" quick. Wish you could get them with out the decals. You know to customize. 3 blade prop maybe?
Seems doggy slow, thinking the F7F Tigercat is more to my liking for the money....
It flys very scale.... however, We put the more powerful 360kv motor in it today and flew it.... much better with the new motor... should have that video up today:)
@@RCINFORMER FMS needs to know this, perhaps they will act on it
That's one bad Azzaro foam warbird . The landing gear are a thing of beauty !
I’m still waiting for a 2 metre version of the Olympus from FMS.
DON'T DO IT (REAL FAST) TAKE YOUR TIME AND DO IT WITH "QUALITY" YOU DIDN'T REPROGRAM IT (REAL FAST) LIKE YOU SAID. GREAT VIDEO
Well done as always Rich....Wonder if installing the trusty FMS Beaver motor might help things along ?...You and RC Geek are the best at this stuff
Great review as always, but the lack of extra power is disturbing. I always fly scale warbirds realistically, not as if they were turbine powered, but sometimes it’s nice to have that extra kick to get out of trouble or to go vertical! The looks of this one, like the last FMS version, is so much better than the Flightline offering, however I’ll wait till FMS sees your video and realizes they need to upgrade the motor.
Stay tuned... I will have the upgraded motor video out later tonight:)
@@RCINFORMER saw the video, loved it! Better, but still seems a bit underpowered. But what do I know! 🤓
@@brohoop Stay tuned... I have more power upgrades coming:)
@@RCINFORMER now I’m excited! Thanks much!
Rich !! Please tell us which motor to buy to upgrade the power and performance.??
That's cool, although I think MotionRC is still killing it in the giant scale class especially with the 2 offerings for the corsair...
🥃cheers🍻
Nope
Unfortunately MRC are better that colour is impossible to see and prone to sun damage
I guess im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?
I was stupid forgot my password. I love any tricks you can offer me
@Cooper Dakota instablaster =)
@Zachariah Troy i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I want my F4-U Corsair to win.
on the corsair 1700 mm v3 how do you tell if i have the new prop
I have been EXTREMELY happy with my 1600 "birdcage" variant of the Flightline Corsair..
Should I buy this one too ?
(Not that I mind spending money on another warbird )
Make a Skyraider A1, and you have a client...
Glad I fly the FL 1600mm F4U looking at that review, out of the box its waaay better than this V3. Missed opportunity by FMS and an insult at this price point it needs a higher KV motor to give it better performance. Thanks for your honesty Rich.
ABSOLUTELY !
That is the reason I am a subscriber & give his videos a full watch and thumbs up 👍.
The honest information from an extremely experienced R/C pilot .
(Full scale too)
👍
I gotta call it like it is! However, the FMS Corsair on 8s with an upgraded ESC is a monster... check out that video if you have not seen it:)
Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/Tnus_JsnOG8/видео.html
Have you looked at the Flightline 1600 prop/spinner, it’s a 18X12, looks awfully a lot like an FMS set up. Do you think that extra pitch would be enough? Having a hard time justifying spending another $90 on a motor on a brand new $500 plane.
I got to call it like it is. It flys well as is but is better on the higher KV motor:) However, it is more of a Cadillac model when compared to the Flightline model!
I have the Flightline and I like both:)
I agree that model is nicer....but now it’s a $600 plane 😒💵
I think a plane that size needs 8s with that kv motor
I Flew the new 1700mm V3 today with a Spektrum 7000 mah battery. This plane is so underpowered, I am amazed that it was ever released. And, to suggest that you should have to bear the cost of replacing the motor and esc or buy more batteries is too much, even if I could live with the PINK pilot.
All I can do is evaluate it and make recommendations. Based on my videos, FMS is sending me a special NEW propeller for the Corsair... I will be testing it soon and reporting on it on the Channel:)
What is the price for one like that I would really love to get me one
FMS has always lacked in power on the warbirds, shame the models are great. I think the bigger birds need to either change prop motor combo or go up to 8 cell. All that dead weight will make me skip this one.
Can I ask if that was the 5000 2s spektrum hardcase to accommodate the 6s? Spektrum don't sell anything else that size in 2s softcase as far as I know. Cheers
It was a 6s pack.
@RCINFORMER oh sorry Rich that was from the last vid I watched and your video played as I pressed the post vid. Cheers man.
Rich I'm all set to get pitts v2 but seen comments that wire brakes near wheel at joint were they cut around is it issue or just odd one breakinh
So far I have not had any issues with mine.
Thanks for reply Rich but my Misses said pay abit more and get flightline spitfire. Always wanted rc spitfire and when Misses says pay more for plane got be done. I'm still flying fms supercub you done though cheers
Hi Rich I gone with fms glider in the end getting it Monday :)
@@leecollins9112 Sweet! Thanks for using my link if you can:)
Rich im from UK and getting the model from my local shop sorry don't think be any help sorry
Thank you. Any flap/elevator mix ?
None
@@RCINFORMER Thank you. Lastly what is the setting in take off flap and landing flap.
Yeah, thought it seemed kinda slow.
Hey Rich. I picked up a corsair made by "Airfield". I know it's an old model just wondering if you know if the FMS fuselage would be the same. It's a 57" wingspan with the retractable tailwheel. I know models get re-branded and need a fuselage.
It would not be this model, this is 66". You may possibly use the 1400mm corsair fuselage... but I'm not sure
@@RCINFORMER thanks! I may have found the correct fuselage. We will know when the box arrives. Lol.
Nice to find out that even at ur low elevation she is slow, so at my 5500 feet she would be a pig xd. I'll wait for the 1700 mm zero if they ever make one lol
Really need a 1700mm Bf-109 or Fw-190. Now watch Horizon develop a 1.5m Corsair ! LOL
New rc pilot question, could you tell me why there's a need to keep an eye on the rudder on take off? I understand theres potential torque roll from a powerful motor, but if the planes going to roll surely I'd be wanting to counter it with the ailerons? Cheers.
The primary problem is a thing called P-Factor or A-Symmetrical thrust off of the prop. It is most pronounced in tail draggers. Because of the nose high attitude on the plane on the ground, the descending blade takes a bigger bite of air than the ascending blade. Because most propellers spin clockwise (when viewed from the cockpit) more thrust comes off of the right side of the prop that does the left side. This causes a yaw to the left. Right rudder will counter this left turning tendency IF the thrust is not to high.
@@RCINFORMER ahhh thank you very much. My interpretation of torque roll was the counter movement of the fuselage going in opposite direction to the prop and tipping its wing back into the ground on take off when really it's more of a yaw issue. Do I have to worry about aileron control on first moments of take off as I do the elevator and rudder? Thanks you for your time.
@@M4rkmcc21 Roll from torque is not nearly as pronounced as yaw caused by P-Factor. A little aileron may be needed, but it is mostly a yaw control issue.
My Dad flew that plane in WW2 I'd love to get me one of them Rc plane's
Hi there Rich, brilliant video. 10/10 for looking into those problems in front of the camera (as with the unboxing video) ...is great to see how you solve problems and learn maybe a new technique, but it also lends a certain authenticity to the model. Interesting what people are saying here about the speed... In terms of scale fidelity, 99.999 percent of scale models are flown too fast and just looking at the video, I would say that the biggest thing to get right would be a more comfortable c of g. I guess it is always nice to have some power in reserve however, so will look forward to your trying the 360KV motor also. I tried the 360KV in my V2 and the amp draw was looking a little too much for the esc and so I went back to the 300KV motor. Another factor which I have not seen mentioned here is that with this kind of prop takes a lot of energy to turn, you do need a relatively low revving motor and rely on the pitch to give the pull...so hopefully the 360KV will not overheat in the process... Will look forward to the next instalment!
WoW that Corsair is way too slow...that’s very strange...😳
Will pass!
thanks rich... hope you have the part number and source to order from.
On your other demo page I have left 100 messages. but as I said I ordered the plane and props. 18X11 NUT cannot find the 5060 360KV motor anywhere. the preditior says unavailable any suggestions . please email me with reply : kenkr-is@twc.com
Real RCer's scratch build, I kit built a TopFlite Corsair, few it for years and eventually crashed it, so I scaled it up and scratch built a bigger one, it looked better and few much better and best of all cost next to nothing. Now days too many people don't have the skills to be in this hobby, it is a sad turn of events.
If your time is worth nothing, than I might tend to agree... but I really can't agree. After adding up the wood, glue, filler, tools, hardware, servos, retracts, engine, exhaust system, wiring, receiver, batteries, paint, covering, etc... you've got way more in cost, even BEFORE you add the cost of your time. I used to scratch built also, its way more expensive in materials & time than this $500 model!
I have asked this question in numerous places and can never get a straight answer... Are all of the props bow available for this plane the new version? I'm trying to find out if I actually want to change it to 8s or not.
Yes, it was only the very first batch of aircraft when the plane was brand new that had the prop that didn’t have enough pitch. Once I made them aware of the issue with the original prop they were VERY fast to Re-Tool the prop mould, and also did a free global replacement program for the owners at the time of release of the aircraft affected- so there is no more “bad” props being made or sold and has not been for a long time. The only batch of aircraft affected by that bad prop was the very first production run of around 300-500 aircraft maximum, so there should not be any of them left (the original batch of aircraft with the prop in, or original props made as spare parts) out there anymore. Hope this answers your question finally and puts your mind at rest. As far as 8s is concerned check out my video where i set one up on 8S! Thanks for the question and supporting the channel :)
@@RCINFORMER ...thank you so much for the reply!!
Absurdly underpowered....they did such a great job on the Tigercat...but this looks like a slug....
It looks slower then the v2 with the smaller prop
I'm not seeing it offered on the website anymore that's why I was asking.
This is the latest one, the v3-horizon still have it on their website here bit.ly/2F365tS and its still in production by FMS with no plans to discontinue it as far as i am aware 🙂
That's lacking some speed, bummer!
can someone tell me the model of motor I need to order to give it more power rich is talking about. he said 360.kV what is the part number so I can order to upgrade the V3. also where can I order the motor..
Ken, New 5060 360KV motor demo video is coming out in 10 minutes:)
Any rumours FMS bringing back corsair F4U 1700 v4 maybe?
Not sure, I think this is the latest edition.
Ya Know Very Rarely does an FMS Plane lack in power and in reality they have even more punch than their contemporaries
Could you fly a baby on that plane? Really teach it to fly?
Why would you buy this and have to upgrade the motor when you can buy the Flightline 1600mm Corsair which is a gun straight out of the box? FMS fail.
Is this the motor. its 359.00.. too much expense
to put into the V3 Power 360 Brushless Outrunner Motor, 180Kv: 6.5mm Bulle
Should really balance the Corsair with the retracts up as the CG moves back when they are retracted.
It does not really matter where you balanced from as long as you balance it the same way each time.
I want a F4U-1A only , = history , not the Korean war
Rich, FMS still make poorly designed models from poor quality control. I purchased a T-28 recently had the first problem right out of the box; a stripped aileron servo. FMS refused to replaced it unless I made a video showing that it did not work. How does one make a video of a still object? This is not the main issue though. The second time I connected the ESC, it caught fire. I have been flying RC since 1978, while stationed On Midways Island in the Navy. Never had an ESC catch fire until now. Of course, they are not going to replace the ESC either without legal action, which is to come. Just be aware that their control remains a big issue. Why not acknowledge the issues when you find them?
I have really not had those issues. Ive had a few bad servos over the last decade, but it is very rare. Ive had a few ESCs with issues and one fire, but these are all rare occurances... what plane is this and where did you get it?
Just needs a 6s 8000 pack. But I like the looks and the scale details! I dont want a warbird flying 700mph scale speeds...it flies as it should! A bigger battery will help with the cg for sure and it will be usable weight instead of dead weight..
Ray..... it was already a 7000 mah battery, who makes a 8000? And then you can only use it in one plane 🧐
With this motor...it can’t even get out of its own way....
Omg why dont tou check cg and fart with it on the bench then do the product video.
Come on Fms....you’re better than this 🤦♂️
Your umph is exaggerated
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I want to buy this bird but not anymore. Why not get it right from the factory. Don't they flight test these things??
