- I expected the FMS Corsair to be as uneventful as the other FMS warbirds but I was wrong.
Inside my FMS Corsair I have a Spektrum AR637T receiver and I fly them on 2s 1300mah batteries using a JST connector. The spinner used for the two bladed prop is a Texson 38mm spinner and the prop a 8x4 one.
I am assembling mine now. So glad that you have provided this information. I appreciate your approach to presenting solid factual reviews.
I’m glad you find it useful.
Bravo, on the drone rescue. I was a navy frogman rescue combat swimmer. The receiver was not damaged by the freezing temperature! Congradulations, Brad
I'm really glad I managed to engage the rescue team for this lost in combat plane. It still works great!
@@SunriseRCAviator It is my favorite RC video! The rescue was superb. My wife and I watched the rescue over and over! Really appreciate your honesty on the travails of the hobby.
@@bradfordtownsend9698 Thank you for the kind words.
I actually like the way it sounds
Yes it's great little Corsair in almost all aspects.
Great job Lapeos, especially the drone rescue! I could see the broken landing gear still on the roof. If you wanted, you could probably still retrieve it with some magnets attached to the rope, assuming the gear is magnetic itself, of course. Also, from what I have seen the FMS Corsair ailerons and elevator are not very scale. If you look at photos of an original Corsair you can very noticeable differences in the design of those control surfaces. The Hobby King version of this plane is definitely more scale looking and the paint scheme is also more visible in the air. Keep up the great work. You have a great knowledge of RC airplanes and were able to solve all the problems you had. I appreciate the effort and high quality of your videos. Cheers from Los Angeles!
Yeah I might try to retrieve the gears and magnet was a good idea which I will look into. You are right about the details on the Hobbyking Corsair but the FMS Corsair flies extremely good once I solved the issues. In fact it might be the best flying plane I have with the two bladed prop.
I had problems keeping orientation of that plane so i put 8 white invasion stripes on the underside of the wing and put 2 long stripes of white tape on both side of the front leading edge of the wings! Man what a difference that made you should try that yourself i think youd love the look of it as well. Cheers Buddy...
@@looneytunes47 That is a great way of improving most planes. If you look at my later videos about this Corsair you see I also have put stripes on mine :)
@@SunriseRCAviator dark blue and bright white is a great combination of colors
Wow good job on all the work you did for that plane👍 way to much work for me I would expect planes to be able to fly from the manufacture.
I would also expect that but due to the horizontal stab things did go wrong this time. When it was solved I got a great flying plane thou.
Hi
Great VID as always very very informative. I've built this kite. Have to check out the elevator. Haven't done a maiden yet... I would say your a bloody good pilot and if you say something is off then it is my ol friend martyn (flanker tanker) put me on to this VID
Much appreciated
Stay lucky

Thanks! I'm glad you like the video and I hope your maiden goes well.
@@SunriseRCAviator trust me SO DO I. hahahahhahaha I'll take a dustbin liner with me just in case it's easier to put the bits in
Stay well
Brian
@@BRIANFORWARD1 I always carry a bin bag - something I learnt to do during my Balsawood Aircraft days ..LOL
great information, i used a drone on a rescue mission lol it was fun
I just picked this up about 3 minutes ago. It’s so beautiful
Yes it looks fantastic and flies great! I hope you have a lot of fun with yours.
@@SunriseRCAviator it’s not wanting to bind. What do I do?
@@SunriseRCAviator I’ve used a bind plug and really any other way I can think of binding it. It’s not wanting to work
@@RylandH-Airsoft Check so the receiver is in bind mode and it should bind.
@@SunriseRCAviator alright I’ll try that. Thanks
Using drone to rescue, Awesome.
That's what drones are for right?
Nice video
Thanks!
Thanks
Awesome video and congrats on the rescue... leave no Corsair behind! I love these 800mm warbirds and have them all being the Corsair my favorite plane. One question, can you go into detail about the spinner, prop and or prop adapter. Mine are all stock but I have broken props before and have just flown with 2 out of the 4 but sometimes the stock plastic prop adapter breaks so if I want to switch to go your route seems like it's better less hassles with vibration and breakage plus performance. What all do I need to make this conversion?
Thanks for watching. I never want to leave any plane behind enemy lines!
You can try the two bladed prop In the size I mention in the video and the spinner was something I had in my inventory but I cant remember the brand or part number. Pick one with the right hole to suit the motor axle.
"Well you can hear the prop sound...." Heck. Nearly all mine sound like that for some reason! 😜😁
The two bladed one is so silent in comparison with the four bladed.
@@SunriseRCAviator Not after I've "landed" them a time or 2! 😁
Very Nice video review...In the rescued "roof plane" plane did you keep the stock motor? What did you use as red spinner on it? Thank You
Thanks for watching. Everything is stock except for the generic prop and two bladed prop. I have no brand on the spinner as I just took it from my spare part box.
This one i like to see very much, mu friend. 👍 I will be waiting. 👌
If you get one you'll have a great warbird to fly.
@@SunriseRCAviator Yes exactly 👌
Very nice long talk and since Im seriously thinking of buying this one, all your insights and advice would come in handy. You know what they say nothing beats "experience". And one more thing since my flying field doesnt have a runway of some kind, Im thinking leaving off the landing gears and using the drop tanks as a kind of skids for belly landing. Would that work? Thanks
I don't think it's a good idea to land on the drop tanks as they probably wont hold if you hit something. I land on the belly as is but I put some foam armour underneath the wings where they touch the ground.
i would really appreciate if you responded to this comments i bought on of the and it came with the propeller broken and i wanted to put a 2 blade prop on it but when i took it into my local they said the threaded motor shaft was unusual and no spinners could work with it so could you tell me what you did to get it to work?
I cut of the shaft a bit so that I could fit a generic prop adapter.
@@SunriseRCAviator what did you do about the weird rectangle type shape at the base of the motor shaft? And also i would appreciate if you told what size adapter i would need?
@@justt4der871 I had a prop adapter in my tool box already and I can’t remember where I got it from but just pick a one that fits the axle dimension. The adapter goes on the shaft until the square part so it sticks out a bit but works fine.
On small simple 4 channel Rc Airplanes i dont understand why you dont go with the much cheaper and affordable Spektrum AR410 anntena less Recievers? there only like $35 dollars in America
@@looneytunes47 That is because I have a bunch of AR630/631/637T recievers already.
My Back wheel is just like the one that landed on the roof.. its not free enough on the axel..
Variations I guess on the parts.
How does this one compare to the HK version? Also, when you hand launch, do you still have to account for the left roll? I've only got a grass field and landings are fine, takeoffs can be a pain, but I'm not brave enough to try a hand launch with my warbirds yet. I have no issue hand launching my Eflite F-15 or F-16...go figure.
In the air I prefer the FMS but the HK handles much better on the ground. Especially my crashed FMS flies amazing. 3/4 throttle hand toss works fine with almost all planes I've tried so far. A good firm straight toss often works fine without any torque roll.
Does it have flight stabilization? Also can I hand launch it?
Yes it features a receiver with stabilizer and hand launch is what I always do with this plane.
Do you think you could do a comparison between this one and the 750mm hobby king version? Or at least tell me which one of the 2 you’d recommend for a less experienced pilot?
To me the FMS Corsair fly fantastic and there are spare parts which most HK planes lack so I would recommend the FMS Corsair
Big thumbs up....
Thanks!
Does this plane not come with a gyro? Or stabilisation system?
Yes there's a Reflex gyro included but I use a receiver with gyro instead.
Hmm interesting, it’s quite confusing as I’m seeing some with a gyro and some without and no mentions of a gyro on horizon hobby and even fms.com🤔
Pnp 3s bsttery available??
Yes you can use 3s 850mAh batteries.
@@SunriseRCAviator thank you^^
Is it on 2s 1300?
Yes!
Ok, i fly on 1500 2s, perfect cg...did it fly on 1000 3s too....i want to try
@@chrisscotty4518 I’ve only used 1300mah batteries but I guess 1000mah works just as good but with reduced flying time.
