This is such a great aircraft. I've had mine over a year now. I've only flown it on 3s. (1000mh) fits perfectly in that slot upfront and cg is perfect. I really really think you should try it. It's beyond fun!! Great video as always Brian!
We need more planes in the UMX to 800mm range so we can fly on the days we can't make it to the club with our 1200mm and up beauties. Great video you two, I just received my Arrows RC 50mm Viper that I ordered with your HobbyZone link and I can't wait to maiden it.
Just ordered this through your website. I cant wait to flap mod it. Ive been flying the 800mm corsair on the 800mAh 3s packs (JST) and it CGs out perfect. Super light. Really great flyer. 5 or 6 mins of flight time. And i can charge em on in my car with the little S-55 on an inverter. Can fly till my legs give out. Or some dog walker parks in the runway (soccer field parking lot😊) Cant wait to get it! 👍
Love the FMS 800mm warbirds! I have both the Corsair and mustang. I use a 3s 1300 in both. I even threw 2.5 inch dubros rigged to coat hangers as landing gear on my mustang and it works nicely. I also threw a 30amp avian in both. Have over 50 flights with no over heating or any issues with cg. I have been waiting for you to review these warbirds. Awesome! Ps. 6 channels with flaperons is pretty fun to play with on these.
I added flaps to my 800mm corsair and it's friggin awesome! I'm a little weary about ripping the cowl off to slap an Avian 30amp in it. Did you have any trouble with the corsair cowl while replacing the ESC? I haven't been able to find any mounting screws on it. So, I'm assuming I'll be breaking out the China glue for this one. 👍
@@AL-RCjunkie the cowl has double sided tape holding it. The motor mount has set screws. You don’t need to remove anything but the cowl and pull the esc wires towards the front. I made connectors to step down the esc leads to the motor leads. It’s much easier to make adapters than solder new ones to the motor or esc. I have used a lot of hot glue to fix this plane and it was even completely broken in half at one point. She still flys like a dream if not better. The motor handles the extra power without issue.
@@nmfishdude200 Hell yeah! Thanks for the tips! Can’t wait for the next rainy day to tear into this little beast. It’s the only plane I don’t have telemetry on. So, I’m stoked to fly her while dust collects on my little Lipo alarm 😊👍
These FMS 800mm series warbirds are great. I have Fw-190, Spitfire and A6M zero. I ones had P-40 and P-47. It's sad that FMS stopped manufacturing many of the old models. I fly mine usually on 3S 800mah-1300mah battery. Greetings from Finland!
Both coming soon. The power lines came down TODAY!!!! They are GONE ;) Pole and wire down. They had 7X boom trucks working together today, and it was crazy, but I was at work...paying for all of it ;( I really wanted to see this process. They did the boring last week and week before, as well as setting the pads and 50 kV transformers. We will cover the install when it's all done, but for now, we are up and running on underground service!!! Now I just need to go earn $24,263 to pay for it...
Tip from more than 10 years ago: (Not my idea.) You can put a skewer through the outside of the plane right by the rescue sticker, in through the "tab" on the bottom of the canopy and halfway into the other side of the fuselage. The canopy won't come up with the skewer in place. The skewer is easy to remove/install. You can store it the hole you made through the canopy when the canopy is off so you don't lose it. The only thing you see from the outside is the little bit of skewer you leave sticking out and you can paint it to match the plane.
@@BrianPhillipsRC It's kind of annoying that the 800mm FMS T-28 has had this canopy "problem" for as long as it has been around (at least 12 years - mine is from 2011) and the current plane is essentialy identical to the original except they improved the foam and added more detail to the landing gear. How hard is it to source a better magnet?
That Plane will fly 3s in stock form all day long Brian i know cause ive have flown mine on it for 3 years now with still has perfect performance. 1000mh 3s is the ticket
@@mikewilson5944 Brian would put flaps on a plane the size of a mosquito...the insect not the warbird...i fly n land mine into the wind to slow it down instead.
LOL - Wish the rudder was a bit better on this beauty. She's a good flying plane, but I really want a wider flight envelope...thus my desire for flaps ;)
These are on sale now @ $135.00 with the reflex. Just ordered one to go with my P-51, might be a pre black Friday special from one of the online hobby shops.
Quickly ;) If you want her to land slower, take a couple hours and cut in some flaps. You will LOVE how she slows down for you!!!!! BUTTT, in the mean time, FLY HER TO THE GROUND...don't stall her into the ground like bigger T-28's. This is hard if you're landing on a tight runway, but will generally work.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks! I’ve been trying to practice my landings but always get caught in ground effect when increasing angle of attack, and it keeps floating and lands 30 feet farther than where I want with the throttle cut. I think what your saying is to give it more down elevator?
It seems that the reflex changes the elevator at different throttle positions. I edited the reflex program so it wasn't quite so strong deflection. Any progress on the flaps yet? 😉😁
I wasn't aware of this, but must be in the AUTO-LEVELING mode, right? As for flaps mod - admittedly, we're backlogged so much, I haven't had time to do any mods ;( In fact, the backlog is WORSE now than it was then, so I don't know when I'll get them installed. Very sorry for the delay!
@@BrianPhillipsRC yes in auto leveling. If you have it turned on and hold the plane while going full throttle you can see it. I'm not sure why they think it needed it as when auto level isn't on it it doesn't try to go down at full throttle. The flaps can wait. Love to see more planes. Though I've been looking at so e of your really old videos lol. Huge improvement over the years 😁
Another great video. I have watched it a few times now while waiting for funds to buy my own. Now I have it I'm wondering when the flaps video will be coming?
I used to do it almost 100% of the time, if that helps, but it's a pain, and I hated having to do it all the time. Once in a while it's no biggie...this plane would be worth changing over to an XT60 or EC3 or IC3
Power lines are GONE TODAY!!! POLES AND ALL ;) Underground service started here at about 8:23 AM. They have some buttoning up to do, but otherwise, the line are gone ;)
They promised us one, but I'm torn now...we want to help people along in their pursuit of the hobby, but if I get the iX14 or iX20, I wonder if I'll have a harder time teaching people HOW to use the NX8 or NX10 - seriously torn....I want the never and better tech, but I really only "need" the two additional channels, and we want to have proper and maximum reach, not just from a growth perspective in our channel, and small business, but to help more people get in the air. We really want to get people flying RC!
Ok now I have a Dilemma I have the umx voodoo and love it. I have the trekker 1.2 and like it. Now I’m torn between this the FMS 800 p51 or the umx evolution 😳 love me a war bird
Hey Brian i bought the Tabu STS and i wonder if you could make a video of setting up the radio when you want to use your own and if it is possible to make reverse trust on that one also Thanks 😊
I just bought this plane I did three maiden flights went well last Saturday I wasn't lined up to the center line on our club's runway was just to the left side of the runway I was just about to touch on my main gear and tried to do a go around and I paid the price $38 dollars in parts new nose gear prop and cowl I think this plane is sluggish on 2s my HK-F4U 750mm corsair and my 800mm HK A1 Skyraider both have 20amp ESC's and they fly on 3s and i think i am going to make that change for this one as well

Did you find the servo connections to the elevator were loose? Like the pin was way too small for the hole, making a lot of play.
I'm really sorry, and should, but don't recall this detail off hand.
