Unreal brother. What a plane. See that you get it blue and all the scale bits done sooner this time! I love those Brent videos - "I'm taking it to the Scale Masters, got three months worth of work to do...in three weeks!" Lolololol.
Put some landing lights on that thing. 👍 Something I always liked to do with model corsairs is enter the downwind gear down and approach flaps. Maintain altitude, turn base set landing flaps. Now turn final. You will be way high. Close the throttle, let the nose fall through the horizon and maintain speed. Just let the model maintain speed, nose down and then round out and set her down on the mains for a nice wheel landing. It’s not scale, but with those big flaps it’s sure fun to do and you will touch down in the same place as your scale landings. The one benefit is if your engine quits nothing changes. You’re already established in a perfect power off glide. Give it a try. 😄
Wow, you are a good pilot landing a Corsair of that size like you did, I have flown many Corsairs and only got a few landings that good but have to say if more pilots would do like your doing and do touch and goes and full flap landings and take offs like that they wouldn't be so scared of a Corsair, lol, well done or should I say excellent.
Wow…more than twice the upper end engine size limit. I see you did say in another vid you did firewall mods. Hope thats enough. Must admit though, finally seeing a true scale size prop on a Corsair is beautiful. Well done.
Naval aviators were trained to do 3 point landings. It was a thing they took great pride in. It was because of the tail hook catching the landing wire on the carrier. Even when landing on ground airstrip they would do 3 point landing. Could get a grilling by an officer for doing main wheels landing. Sooooo a true scale landing for any navy taildragger warbird would be 3 point. Probably not practical for a scale model especially in a cross wind. Also aerobatics performed with bombs and drop tanks are not realistic. Just some info to know, not criticism
@@captainaxle438 yeah i was doing 3 points...each one resulted in a ground loop. Same with my bearcat. Only time i can get away with a 3 point is when i have a nice headwind to help keep it straight. I prefer 3 points but both my dle222 f4u and f8fs ground loop when i do 3 points
@hechtspeed True, I never 3 pointed my Corsair. Seems only a semi scale warbird can reliability do it. Definitely discovered that P51 and spitfire prefer half flaps wheels landing, rudder it straight until the tail comes down, on asphalt. If you float warbirds likely porpoising and tip stall
@@captainaxle438 i think the problem im running into the gyroscopoc effect of the big heavy prop slowing as i chop the power at touchdown. Maybe ill try 3 points and leave the power on for a second or two. I really dont like wheel landing them because its pretty fast. Also the navy pilots were training to plop them in at basically stall speed. I can do that but its hard on landing gear and wings when it comes to models
@@hechtspeed I have and had smaller Corsairs so haven't done it, but read that the big Corsair models with the Moki radials land at 1/4 throttle with full flaps. Seems the drag is a lot. The danger of flaps is the stop and drop. Getting to slow. Maybe you find the sweet throttle setting. The increased prop blast on rudder might help stop ground loop
The model, the prop, the engine, the build, the pilot- all top notch! The essence of the bent wing bird!
Unbelievable!! That plane looks sooo good in that light! A classic! Great job brother, and excellent video by Bentley!

@@ModelAV8RChannel hahhhaha thabks man..ydah true story hahaha. But i work better with looming deadlines :p
Very Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!
This setup with this engine is really cool, congratulations😉
That thing flys so well....even kinda floaty for 40 lbs. Awesome stuff Brent.
Never seen any warbird so easygoing 😳…looks brilliant, congratulations 👍
outstanding. 100% realistic
Those touch & go's were a thing of beauty ! ...priceless

Somebody laid the awesomesuase on pretty thick....
Good stuff Brent, AH
Thanks for showing us how it's done, touch and goes on Corsair, real deal😅

You’ve got the landings dialled in, great model.
Standard F4U Corsair carrier takeoff - Flaps full down, elevator 6° nose up, ailerons 6° right, and rudder 6° right.. 😎
Nice
Beautiful 😍😍👍
Beautiful plane
Beautiful flights. Beautiful Plane. I wish I could hear what you were saying? You don’t use your mics no more.?
@@tonycalvert2951 my mic recently died. I have to order new ones
@ Thank you. I enjoy your channel. And your knowledge of planes. I’m a 70-year-old man. I’ve been flying for 40 years. It’s a great hobby.
Gorgeous 😍
Seems like it’s become pretty comfortable to you already… that propeller looks great, possibly a touch larger diameter than scale? Thanks!
@@briansilcox5720 its a hair bigger. But really close
Were the markings (decals) affixed to the plane out of the box ? If so what type are they? Can they be removed.
Yes they were. The stars and bars apear to be some type of water transfee decal. The rest are painted on
What field is this? Beautiful background.

@@dan4466 yeah its a whole new fire wall. I did a series of videos about the conversion. About to start the same thing with my robart p47
Hi, is there any space to install a silencer muffler for this model using this engine?
@@vicyboy12 no..not really
Nice!
Fun stuff
nice!!
Still awesome!
Cool!! However, planes do take off from carriers with full flaps.
@@Mavaholic corsairs did off the carrier.
@@hechtspeed Hmmm, not sure now. . But all the videos I could find when compared to landing videos they do not look like full deployment to me.
@@Mavaholic if its not full its damn close lol
ruclips.net/video/sqHiI164Thc/видео.htmlsi=haZLhSho02VOeUkM
@@hechtspeed Yea I watched that video and then compared it to ones landing. I agree with you. If it isn't, it's damn close.
@@Mavaholic looks to be maybe 5 deg or so less than full.
