The F4U is the most beautiful, graceful, and feared plane that has ever flown, I want one! The only thing that would make it better is airbrakes that replicate the sound of the originals.
Pete, those are not technically "split" flaps. A real split would work like two flat pieces - one stationary with the wing top, and the bottom portion splitting down to form the brake. On the F4U model are a couple small plain flaps.
Sweet plane i doint know isit the color scheme of the corsair it seems like this color scheme amplifies the size of the rudder the rudder looks huge on this plane not like its a bad thing i think it looks awsome ....what size lipo pack does this plane use a 6 cell pack?
WOW! Well, I don't know what to say except that was absolutely spectacular. The F4U Corsair is my all time favorite War Bird. I really enjoyed the video. That is one beautiful plane. You are great pilot and your video work is outstanding. Had to subscribe . . . what can I say ;-) Keep up the good work!
Pete Quick question. How did you get your gear doors to stay down when the gears are down? Mine and some others, the gear doors retract when our gear is down. Looks more scale they why yours is. Brian
Look I love nitroplanes, and honestly I buy all of my RC planes there so far. That isn't to say they have better planes. I have to say they have a larger selection on large warbirds, but you guys clearly have the more jazzed up larger ones. If I had a few more bucks in my RC fund I would definitely buy one of your large warbirds. Beautiful plane, one of these days when I am able to put more $ in the RC jar I WILL buy one of your planes they are flat out breathtakingly gorgeous.
@FantasticBob7000 The 400' limit where Pete is flying (Apollo Field in Van Nuys, CA) is because it's in the flight path of an airport. Wouldn't want your plane flying into the windshield of an actual aircraft, would you? :-o
Personally, IMHO, I don't see why you would want to fly over 400ft, BUT, that's a pretty silly rule. At my old flying field, a guy used to launch a parachuter from his aircraft, and he would go up so high, that the plane was hardly visible, atleast 1500 feet.
Unbelieveable, Pete. You intro the plane, show us the landing gear & wings, and then...you completely ignore the tailhook? You do realize they're gonna make you pay for the pavement you rip up first time you land at an FBO, right? I had to rib you about it, I served on a carrier & Dad flew these, the SBD Dauntless dive bomber, & TBF/M Avenger torpedo bomber, so no way was I letting you skate on this one!
@FantasticBob7000 Just go to your local park, I don't have a big one because I'm only 15 but I take my little infra-red helicopter to my garden and mess around with it :D
Van Nuys airport is near apollo park so the radar detects these models and the cops come to give you a ticket if they catch you for that its not because they do it for fun but for for safety reasons
I got through the intro and then Pete said "How's it goin' pilots, this is Pete with banana hobby. . ." then my internet failed and I had to buffer =( LOL
looks great pete i got one of these and in person they look even better,! no bull shit either , awesome plane . and ! the wings are sturdy great when they fold , you wonder , but they work great down postion tighter than a bulls ass at flytime , lol, beautiful plane
Saying F4U corsair does not cut it There are series of F4U Corsair The F4U-1A,F4U-1C,F4U-1D,F2G,F4U-5N, F4U-7,F4U/FG-1D,F4U-5/5N/5NL you can't just say its a F4U and leave it at that,Because Everyone of these F4U's are different with bombs/Rockets to 20mm cannons to 6x12.7 M2 mechine guns All are Rare but the Last one ever built was Indeed the F2G with a all-round vision bubble-type canopy and its 4x12.7mm mechine guns M2 mechine guns with its 1 × Pratt & Whitney R-4360-4 "Wasp Major" 28-cylinder radial engine, 3,000 hp Going 431 mph that can catch a jet in a dive.
It could also be a regulation for small airplane safety as well. If small planes such as Cessnas frequently fly over the area, then that regulation would keep RC pilots from flying into the airspace of small planes, putting the lives of actual-aircraft pilots at the hands ( or wings) of an RC pilot and his beloved RC plane.
Liz from nitro ain't wearing Pete's hat , he gave it to Zooey , and she's one hot looking gal, why does Pete get all the hot women! Asher thought it might be the f-18's? No, gotta be this corsair!!,
Congratulations on the award! The Corsair is a real beauty. All we need know is and RC Supercarrier to land and take off on.
Wow! that prop sounds amazing
The F4U is the most beautiful, graceful, and feared plane that has ever flown, I want one! The only thing that would make it better is airbrakes that replicate the sound of the originals.
i remember watching these video about 5 years ago and coming back to it is so nostalgic
Out of every plain ever built the Corsair has all ways been my favorite.
i love the f4u and actually know a pilot who flew them in ww2, its a beautifull airplane ! sure wish i could afford one !
thanks
Most amazing machine to ever tool off the assembly line
Love watching this plane fly. Hope I can pick one up soon. Thanks PETE!
I have had great experiences buying from banana hobbies and was impressed with their customer service. Looks like a great plane!
Prop sound great, plane looks fantastic! Great flying as always Pete.
@FantasticBob7000 It's because it is in the approach path for a pretty busy airport (KVNY). Nice video Pete! I think I might get this plane!
My favorite WW2 era aircraft! Absolutely love it! Great vid, thanks for posting!

Is the bird an 1/8 scale model? Love the corsair! My grandfather was at pearl harbor when it was hit.
Amazing! I love where the products are going.
I would have edited in a greaser landing... GREAT!!! scale take off though!
Sweet plane i doint know isit the color scheme of the corsair it seems like this color scheme amplifies the size of the rudder the rudder looks huge on this plane not like its a bad thing i think it looks awsome ....what size lipo pack does this plane use a 6 cell pack?
Very nice video, very well put together....
I usually see you at Whittier Narrows, but at which airfield are you flying this beautiful Corsair?
WOW! Well, I don't know what to say except that was absolutely spectacular. The F4U Corsair is my all time favorite War Bird. I really enjoyed the video. That is one beautiful plane. You are great pilot and your video work is outstanding. Had to subscribe . . . what can I say ;-)
Keep up the good work!
thanks pete that is one sweet corair
i have a smaller one yet for its mayden flight
Now THAT'S how you sell an airplane!!! I almost wet myself first time I saw this. Not sure I want that much bird, but it sure is impressive!
love the flight review. I can tell the corsair holds a little place in your heart :)
@RoboTekno yep and i bet they do it when you dont want them to
(or maybe the servo just breaks and the wings fall off)
what cracks me up is
folding wings but no pilot LOL
Most amazing machine to ever roll off the assembly line
sweet bird Pete!!!
Pete Quick question. How did you get your gear doors to stay down when the gears are down? Mine and some others, the gear doors retract when our gear is down. Looks more scale they why yours is.
Brian
that iconic gull wing... 😍😍😍😍
Great Video Pete,....good job, nice plane

Great plane good you moved away from micro war birds but any comment on a harrier jet
other than your transmitter is this plane being flown all 'stock' ?
is the hook strong enough to grab a bungee cord and stop the plane ?
lol jr11x....is that the only mod? or do we have motors, servos etc.
@FantasticBob7000 The 400' limit where Pete is flying (Apollo Field in Van Nuys, CA) is because it's in the flight path of an airport. Wouldn't want your plane flying into the windshield of an actual aircraft, would you? :-o
@GamerSipes that is apollo field in LA
Your planes are amezing
damn! love the sound it creates!
how does it fly with the wings folded up?
Now thats beautiful love the music as well very appro....

Who remembers the Black Sheep Squadron
I love the Corsair
What about landing gear breaks?
looked super good in the air......
Awesome X2!
Folding wings,thumbs up!!!!!!
Hey i love this plane My school is making a fome corsair it is going to fly so good.
I'm not a club fan but this club is obviously within the prescribed range from an airport. It's either 400' or no flying at all.

Very nice video!!!
Fighters are my favorite; Glue and balsa wood was good, but Joe might cancel foam. Oil virus.

Wait, What makes this plane 8ch?
@FantasticBob7000 Just go to your local park, I don't have a big one because I'm only 15 but I take my little infra-red helicopter to my garden and mess around with it :D
at 12:06 what was that ??
Just bought one!
cg location?
I want to see a landing with tail hook.
Dimana dari ndonesia untuk membeli nya
Pete you don't need to thank everyone in every video :-)
isn't the skull insignia on the plane from the jolly rogers?
Yes, this is Ira Kepford's corsair....
I would buy this plane simply because of the way it sounds in flight, almost like the real thing.
Van Nuys airport is near apollo park so the radar detects these models and the cops come to give you a ticket if they catch you for that its not because they do it for fun but for for safety reasons
if its hot there why are you wearing a beeanie????
sweet very nice war bird
I got through the intro and then Pete said "How's it goin' pilots, this is Pete with banana hobby. . ." then my internet failed and I had to buffer =(
LOL
Really nice
well the planes fly low in that area from small civilian to jets
That has got to be dubbed sound when that plane goes by.
Actually no it's not. I have this and that's what it sounds like
What a sweet looking bird.......
Joe-R
And where pray tell is the pilot??
awesome!
OMG I might just have to buy this instead of the Airfield one
very very nice
it was sold out!
Well, it's Banana Hobby. What do you expect.
hey awesome plane
looks great pete i got one of these and in person they look even better,! no bull shit either , awesome plane . and ! the wings are sturdy great when they fold , you wonder , but they work great down postion tighter than a bulls ass at flytime , lol, beautiful plane
Oh my God, fold the wings inflight! :D
first ftw :D love you guys :D

@FantasticBob7000
well the do have to abide to the laws, strange that lol
go the corsair!
Il est coul cette vidéo
wow that r/c helicopter flying in the background sounds real. ;p lol.
Sweeeeeet!!!!!
hey I have one
There's no pilot!!! @_@
Jokes aside, that is a really cool aircraft you have.
Amazeing
It could also be a regulation for small airplane safety as well. If small planes such as Cessnas frequently fly over the area, then that regulation would keep RC pilots from flying into the airspace of small planes, putting the lives of actual-aircraft pilots at the hands ( or wings) of an RC pilot and his beloved RC plane.
uh oh i just saw the price :(
If only i was rich enough to get these models, instead of building everything myself...
I love the comment that if you where making your own with folding wings it would be $5000. I love bananas list prices, rofl.
This is gana be my crissmos gift. (JK)
$$$ ???
All those scale details but no pilot. Really lets the plane down when you do those low, slow flybys, and there is no one sitting in the 'office.'
Liz from nitro ain't wearing Pete's hat , he gave it to Zooey , and she's one hot looking gal, why does Pete get all the hot women! Asher thought it might be the f-18's? No, gotta be this corsair!!,
...guys, AND gals (Gender equality)
Looks like PC has made its way into the RC world too...
"we" have incorporated lol... your just one of many FMS distributor ! You have NOTHING to do with the fished product
way to high teck for me too much to go wrong and your rep is not that good
be serious people
the plane got rockets
