You are a lucky guy, you can take off in front of your house!
We are blessed!!!!
I live on a hill and about half a mile away from my house is a hockey rink and it has baseball fields, soccer fields,
and a football field and there’s always one I can use to fly my planes and we only have to drive for around 3 minutes. But your so lucky to walk outside and fly!!!
I bet both Brian and Megan were both agree that they might be a little bit lucky but I think they both worked pretty hard and for pretty long amount of time to get where they are in order to fly out of their front yard
I splice my volt cable with electrical tape by using an xacto blade on the ESC lead as close to the ESC as I can get it. No need to solder and it'll always pick up battery voltage telemetry.
Out of curiosity, why "As close to the ESC as possible"? Convenience???
@@BrianPhillipsRC Keeps it from getting jostled out of place since it's being held to the ESC lead by electrical tape alone! On planes like the Timber, having the volt leads where they'll never get tugged keeps you from losing battery telemetry in-flight because you tugged too hard on the ESC lead when trying to get a battery installed. Same thing on my Maule and Twin Otter - just makes it easier overall to avoid causing electrical telemetry issues.
Setting up the Volt telemetry to complain if it's below a pre-set voltage will also tell you if something's gone awry before you fly, too!
That plane is so beautiful, I don't mind the lack of speed/power. It's detailed, lit up nicely and very photogenic. Love it!
RC informer had same power problem FMS sent him a different prop helped alot. He also tried it 8s. GREAT VIDEO as always sir
Thanks for the info - I'm glad I had the same issue!!! RC Informer is the man!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Rich at RCI even changed motor, and went to 8s...
Horizon is going to be taking care of everyone on the props
Thanks for your knowledge Ryan
For sure. just got the word yesterday too ;) This is why it's a pleasure working with Horizon Hobby - WHO DOES THIS?!?! (Well, FMS and HH, I guess to be more precise)
P.S. What an EXPENSIVE "fix" - holy crappers!!! Those props are AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL!
mike bird - you missed a few letters....it's spelled BRIAN - LOL ;) - JK mike and Ryan - you the man pilot ryan!
"She's a beaut Clark!!" Love those Corsairs with their gull wings and rotating retracts!! Great video as always!! BTW...could you have your UPS & FedEx guys bring some stuff my way too? It would be much appreciated ;) Keep 'em coming!!
LOL - That would be nice ;)
Hey BP! That was a great video with the flying first it looks awesome great presence and features on the plane! The unboxing and build was great too! Great information on the radio equipment setup and explaining of the different settings on the transmitter and the camera crew and builder supervisor was on it to! Can't wait to see you guys fly that some more!😉👍
Thanks 👍 We appreciate you being here with us! We're getting close to 100,000 subscribers, and it's getting REAL! We couldn't do it without you, the BEST audience on RUclips!!!
I know this was a year ago and I didn't read all the comments. The history of the 4fu was a handful to fly because of the small rudder. The engine was so powerful that the wash from the prop caused massive rudder shake. And almost impossible to dead stick.
It was also nicknamed "Whistling Death" it would whistle as it was diving.
I had a 90cc nitro it was not easy to fly lol.
F4u was always a favorite of mine.
I didn't know about the rudder part, that's crazy! I love the sound of "whistling death" - that would be a coming to Jesus moment for the benefactors of said noise!!!
Hello Brian… I got my second v3 1700 Corsair today and and when I powered it up and dropped the gear it came out like it should. When I retract it the main gear doors close right away then the mains start coming up. Could you please tell me where the sequencer plugs in??
I don't know. You'll have to dig into that beauty to find the sequencer. Sorry you're running into this problem!
You guys say you have four kids why is it when you're doing these 3-hour builds we can't hear any of them?!
Because they're in the "dungeon". LOL - lots of snacks, multiple tv's and video games, computers, and tablets...they're good to go for a few days, if they wanted. Also, our mics help to hide some of the background noise...we DO hear them, and pause and holler to quiet down from time to time, but it's pretty rare.
Just bought a carbon z 150 bnf radio I have nx8 radio bind it all works but cant cant the ailerons and flaps work independently what do I need to do?
Yes, but you need to separate out the servos, and with NX8, you'll be out of channels if you intend to make EACH surface move separately - I assume you're wanting to do CROW?
If so, watch this video, and see if you want to go trough the trouble....the Carbon Z Cessna 150T flies AMAZING without CROW - I would NOT set it up...but some have ;)

Carbon Z Cessna 150T - ruclips.net/p/PLXTH0DstRDc6waAi3j_kPuxlDOpOKRVs4
Heavier battery helps smooth out the porpoise as well
True, but that was ALL me...I got her settled down with a lot more expo and less rates, but I should make the mechanical adjustments so she'll keep the precision...
As for 8S, have you done it yet? I heard some were trying it, but haven't gotten my replacement prop yet... I was pretty bummed with the SPEED, but love the rest of the beauty - she is totally gorgeous!!!
Did they use hinges or foam hinge stuff? Not for nothing these larger planes should have real hinges. I just bought the pitts. Was saddened about that.
I honestly can't recall! Sorry Ken! I think they're embedded hinges.
My gear doors won't fully close.I can't seem to find any adjustments. Any suggestions?
Gotta see if it's binding inside. Is it just one? If so, can you pull that one out and see if it works while on the bench? If it doesn't, maybe it's the wrong retract???
If you close your eyes and listen to his voice he could just as easily be talking about fashion or home decor.
LOL - just wait ;) You'll Laugh in the next few weeks when you see what we're gonna review ;)
Great Video! I have the same plane, I upgraded to a 120 ESC and a 8s battery pack, and mine screams with that setup.
NICE - like is should!!!! I don't mind a plane flying slow, as you have seen plenty of on our channel, but this plane just needs SPEED in addition to it's slow flight characteristics.
@@BrianPhillipsRC I agree! That plane has the need for speed! But it has nice low speed & slow landing characteristics with the flaps deployed. I set my rates to apply 5% down elevator when I drop my flaps, that prevents the sudden nose up when they deploy.
What top speed do you think u are getting in the 8s set up? Trying to convince myself getting it and going 8s. Not many video on 8s. Cheers
I have been following this plane on release. FMS has had power problems from the get go. Rich at RC Informer who works close with FMS tried bigger motor, 8s pack and really got it going but added cost and it already at $500. Pretty costly. FMS just recently came out with new prop. It is either an 18-12 or 18-13. Made a big difference with stock motor and 6s pack. Supposedly new prop will be supplied if it didn't come in the box.
Yes, I found this out after my review ;) I've been too busy to watch all the other reviews, but at least you can tell I'm being honest - LOL - this plane lacked nothing, except top speed....otherwise it is amazing!
I interested in this setup so how much is something like this total everything one needs to be ready to fly?
This plane. We have links so you can check what current prices are...
There in the video description, but I'll list them for you below...
Plane F4U Corsair 1.7m bit.ly/2HV65xP
+
Transmitter NX8 bit.ly/3f4JhZl (you can technically use what I used, NX6 bit.ly/3eqEn7M ..but the 8 is way better value now, it wasn't out yet when we made this video, if I remember right)
+
Receiver AR637T bit.ly/3pW3u86 (this could be replaced with a simpler AR631 for less cash - AR631 bit.ly/3pYNC3c - and still gives you the "important" stuff - AS3X (stabilization) and SAFE (auto-leveling) if you want it.)
+
Battery 5Ah 6S 50C bit.ly/35qFQrW OR 100C bit.ly/2ImLLWr (I put two of the more expensive in my estimate)
+
Charger G2 S2200 bit.ly/398ohO6 OR S1400 bit.ly/3rKYt3l
$1,734.94 (+tax) as of 3/19/2022 - But keep in mind, most people buying this plane wouldn't be starting here....they'd only be getting the plane and receiver, since they'd be using the Transmitter, Charger, and Batteries (I put two in my total - who get ONE battery - LOL) for this AND other plane. This is a BIG and expensive, and no doubt AMAZING plane, but definitely NOT a beginner plane.
Great video and review as always Brian, love a Corsair!!! Great job camera crew as always, thanks for sharing guys 👊🏼👊🏼
Our pleasure! Thank for stopping in again!!!
Can you put the avian esc in it if you wanted to? If so how hard would it be to change it out?
Sure...you can do that on most any plane, if you can get a big enough Avian.
Yea, i thought you would get more speed , but still a "beaut Clark"
It's coming soon. The prop must be lost in shipping, since it was shipped like 5 or 6 days ago!!??!?!? I want to film the re-maiden with the new prop, but we have snow surrounding the runway now....so I'll have to actually land it ;) Should be pretty exciting!
Did you have any trouble binding it in into safe select at all
You don't "Bind" into SAFE anymore. You now use FORWARD PROGRAMMING to turn on AS3X and then later, SAFE. This is probably why you're having difficulty.
Check out a more recent PNF models on how to setup AS3X and SAFE. It's a new process as compared to what we showed in this video. Most recent I can think of would be the J-65. ruclips.net/video/kNFuhcoooJ8/видео.html - same otherwise as the F4U Corsair, as far as radio setup goes, since they're both same wing types, and tail type, and we don't do anything different for an EDF Jet from a Prop equipped model.
Good luck - you can get this figured out, but it's going to take a bit of work. Trust me, though, it's worth it!
To me, the Corsair is the AK47 of airplanes. Something about its design is absolutely mesmerizing.
Sure is amazing. The SCREAM while diving was something that no doubt cased many skid marks before certain death.
Beautiful plane!
Maybe upgrade your prop stronger pitch to get some more speed
I just heard another commenter saying 8S ?!?!?!??!?! That would be pretty cool!!! If it didn't land in a fireball ;)
I need some help I have NX 10 transmitter and the battery alarm for the plane keeps going off and battery is full charged
SUPER ANNOYING PROBLEM!!! I can totally relate, since I JUST ran into that just the other day on our ULTRA STICK. Watch that video (Link here ruclips.net/video/5FojztBg-L4/видео.html ) and see what we did shortly into the maiden flights. I had to go into AUDIO EVENS and WARNINGS, once the plane was on.... Since then, it hasn't happened again.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thankyou Brian your the Best!! Iam a newbie in this hobby, I bought 3 of these Corsairs for me & my boys we installed the Avian 120 amp esc with 8s.We are having FUN!
Sexiest WW2 warbird ! I don't have enough experience to fly warbirds but when I do ...
When you do, it'll be awesome!!!
You can fly these foamies, as they are very easy to handle. They have very light wing loading, and are really easy to fly as you can tell from the video. Now if you're talking lite-ply. balsa and composite models, then you're dealing with a lot higher wing loading, and it takes more skill and experience to fly them properly. Don't be afraid, these foamies are really easy to fly and are very forgiving!
@@scotabot7826 Thanks man !
Hi Brian. F4u Corsair.. FMS or Eflite. Pros, cons, what is your suggestion. Considering I am not expert pilot yet. Thanks for your time. Excelent RUclips channel.
Could you fly a baby on that plane? Really teach it to fly?
LOL !!!
Brian, God blessed you with a wonderful and great partner who’s recording you! My regards and I’ll love to learn more from your skills of assembly! Thanks 🙏🏾
Festus from Genoa, Illinois.
Glad we could help! I'm lucky to have my wonderful camera crew :)
1:20:11 The pliers with the cutters are called Linesman's pliers. They allow the linesman to have a wire cutter and plier in one tool.
1:233:53 Screws turn into threads in the same direction regardless of which side you screw into, that's how threads work.
1:45:49 The Communist Chinese write some humorous instructions. Decades ago, I bought a CD cleaner that said, "go to stop" at the end of the cycle.
2:49:00 The word is plumb, not level. Level is for horizontal while plumb means straight up and down vertically.
How would you balance this? Completely assemble the prop, then balance?
yes, and battery too. It's gotta be 100% ready to put down and fly, if you felt good about the CG
Also, usually with GEAR DOWN.
Great presentation Brian......one of my favorite planes, the Corsair. You fly it so well!! Jimp
Many thanks!!
This is legit the most helpful video I have found for setting up AS3X. Well done, seriously. And thanks!
Great to hear! Ben, we try, but so hard to know when "enough is enough" - I'm drunk on details ;)
Brian. I think we want to buy products that are made in china. We better hurry up and get them ordered. I don't want to bring politics here but I'm just sayin' "Buy now while you can."
Yeah, I get the sentiment, but gotta remember, if we go to war with China, we'll still have SOME trade with them...we are WAY too dependent, but it is what it is... 40 years of the CCP working it's way into the American way of life, and we can definitely see the results of it - oh well, at least they're REALLY good at making RC stuff ;)
P.S. I try to look at it like this, the Chinese are some of the most oppressed people on the face of the planet, and they're getting more oppressed, second only to a few horrific places like North Korea and other war torn terrorist controlled territories, so I figure we're helping to keep the oppressed fed....but then you're taking food off the plate of an American, or Canadian, or Mexican, when we choose to do business with China for so much....but how does business get around the huge labor disparity??? They don't ;( Tough issue, and way higher than my pay scale....but I do love RC and hope for a productive and FAIR resolution to the "trade" wars with China - they cheat like crazy, and lie too...so you gotta be ON YOUR TOES if you do serious business with them. HOWEVER, I have some experience with doing direct MFG business with an Indian company, for some farm equipment we needed, and they are some of the hardest working, super ethical people on the planet - it's no wonder they are getting traction for so many machine mfg needs. American need to keep the world market in mind when considering these complex markets...seems too often, people just think "They took our jobs", well, you gave them your job!!?!??!?! (me too).
Well, that was more heavy than typical in my RUclips channel replies ;) Thanks for stopping by again ASteamEngineer.
@@BrianPhillipsRC It was mostly American billionaires like Warren Buffet and the like and U.S. companies that set up China and pandered to the CCP hierarchy to create the manufacturing behemoth that China is now ,helping to destroy the manufacturing in the West .It's all by design.
@@BrianPhillipsRC My point was simply this. Biden is the Manchurian Candidate. He will not become president. Trump will fight back against China. They launched a biological weapon that coincidentally is affecting us the most right at the time of the election. Trump will not sit still for this. Have you noticed how the swamp is exposing itself lately? Cynthia Johnson (D) Congresswoman threatened all Trumpers. Eric Swalwell and his Chinese spy girlfriend. I think the swamp is gonna hit the fan and there could be a new civil war in the USA.
I bought this plane from a club member and noticed that one of the elevator servos is stripped so I need to unsnap the rudder fin off, but I tried to pull straight back but it is snapped on tight. Should I stick something flat in between the fin and rudder next to the snap and try to prey it off? I'm afraid I might break the fin. Does it take a lot of force to get it off? Thanks for your help Brian.
Albert Huth
Shes lovely, but not enough speed for me
Agreed. The MFG did send out a new prop, fyi, and it helped a bit, but I didn't see a huge change still
Gorgeous plane. This and the Tigercat are my favorites! I'm gonna say I think it looks in flight more scale with the slower speed.
I am a huge Corsair fan but the largest scale I have and fly is the old Durafly 1100 with 3S 2200. I hear the larger the scale the easier it is to fly? All of my Corsairs require a lot of nose weight to fly properly. The other issues I have is motor torque on take off. The 1700 doesn't look like it has that problem at all.
Your flying field requires you to come in and land just like they do on carrier landings always in the turn viewing the deck. Due to the wing, the Corsair has a death spiral stall in turns at slow speeds! The real Corsair during carrier test landings they added a small STALL STRIP to the starboard side leading edge. It's not much material but on these small scale planes I wonder if it will help if added?
It has a HUGE amount of P-factor (Prop is crazy heavy!!!), but the AS3X and practice hide it nicely ;) As for the 1.2m Corsair I mentioned here...if you haven't flown it, it is EXCELLENT! Might need to be your NEXT plane ;) Just saying...
As for the bigger the easier... I've heard but not been able to totally confirm this over my years of experience. I think SOME big planes behave nicely, and others just make me more nervous - LOL!
Hey Brian have you or do you plan on doing a flight/review of the 800mm version of this plane by fms. I looked but can’t find it in your library and I’m looking into getting a 2nd plane as I’m comfortable with my umx turbo timber and ready too add a warbird!
I haven't yet, but will when the opportunity presents itself...
F4U 800mm bit.ly/3BZCNEt + AR630 bit.ly/3lh5iqD
5 years worth of Brian Phillips tells me-
If he has an underpowered prop driven plane (see: P-51 Blondie on 4s???) there’s gonna be some modifications. This could be a bigger ESC, a more efficient prop, or if he has one laying around in the basement, a bigger motor.
In either events, stay tuned, it’ll be a much faster plane and he’ll probably come up with something I never thought of that incredibly hardcore.
I think this plane deserves more speed. It flies well enough, and lands well, and behaves generally good, but it's just not ballzy enough! I wanted it to fly by at 446mph (...scale, of course...)
I've only had time to watch the first five minutes, definitely coming back to watch rest later. I really like how you've shown the problems on the maiden and the steps you've gone through to solve them. Trying to decide between the FMS 1700mm and the Flightline (Freewing) 1600mm. Any advice?
I'm not the guy to pick between, since I haven't had the OTHER option....sorry on that one Jimmy.
Get the FMS, Motion is good but not detailed like FMS
Which one did you end up getting? I cant decide either..
To anyone that needs to touch up their Corsair, use TAMYIA TS-55 dark blue and tint it with XF-50 field blue and it make a great match! I painted all my control rods and ends and they kind of disappear! 🙋♂️🖖🏻
Thanks Chris!
Its a dog for a Corsair, thinking V4 will be better...
They're sending out new props to everyone who got one! Crazy, but true ;) I'll redo the flight when that comes. Hope you'll stop back and check it out.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Always watch your video's, you and the camera crew do awesome presentations and continue improving as the years go by. Are you going to add the 120 esc so you can fly 6s or 8s? Come on, you know you want to, and got to.... :) Rich ended up placing the stock motor back in, just to see how it would fair with new prop and 6s combo, but he did leave in the 120 esc so he could rip up the sky on 8s...
Ball joint pliers - split square nose pliers about 2mm with grinder, they're still square but with the extra function. I've got tools here that I can't remember what I made them for
Nice idea! I can live with a multi function tool!
Suggestion: Stick a piece of foam in that "flower vase" to keep your screwdrivers organized, visible, and accessible. This was another two bagger popcorn video complete with drama, comedy, action, and other things. No, I have no room for a king sized bed plane, but the 1.2 m might fit at a later date. :-) Fun video.
LOL - Jack, If you try really hard, you can coax her into a queen with you - LOL Especially after an amazing Covid approved safe date night....dinner and "two bags of microwave popcorn" movie time with BrianPhillipsRC...there's NO stopping you - Just make sure you use your throttle hold so you don't get anything chopped off from premature throttle.....
Oh yeah!
Got this plane but had defects. Horizon support sucks, you can only do a live chat.
Beautiful Corsair!!
It really is! Wish it were faster.
To me, the Propeller doesn't look to Scale Size.
Yeah, but a lot of war birds would have almost no ground clearance if they were big enough. Also the electronics would have to be HUUUUUUGE for a "full size" prop...but I get it.
@@BrianPhillipsRCSo with that said, the velocity is slower to have a more scaled flight?
As you know, the F4U's Gull Wing is base on the size of the Propeller being Over Sized. That's why they nickname the prop "The Man Eater"
💯Nice job, love the F4U Corsair, Black Sheep squadron! Pappy would love it! ☠️SEMPER Fi... 🐾🐾🐾💀 Shit it's warm you're way, cold up here in the NEK, but i enjoy the crisp cold air and winter activity's! So wish Horizon would make a nice hobby grade snowmobile, now that would be bad ass!!
That would be REALLY cool!!!
I built the Top Flight Corsair and ran it on 6S with a AXI 4130-16 Motor. in 2008 It used the Robart air retracts and the CG is where you need to adjust for things too as your in-flight configuration is wheels up. Going to landing configuration, you will end up nose heavy but you can mix in a little elevator adjustment with first notch of flaps to get it balanced. Go Full landing flaps and it should lock in on a nice, feeling high approach, that you can bring in steep and make a nice flare. Of course, that was a 9 lb airplane.....
Sounds like a beauty.
Altitude is your insurance
Sure is! But, still would like some speed to trade off ;)
Remove breakout board and you can fit gear sequencer underneath the wood board remount breakout board. Now you can put the receiver where you want it.
I see. Thanks!
Beautiful plane definitely one of my favorite war birds I see some upgrades in it's future though 🤔🙄
Great job as always guy's 🔥👍✌️
Might try 8S, I guess it's a "thing" ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I've seen several people upgrade the motor but hopefully 8S will do the job It's definitely worth upgrading such a beautiful beast Check out RCInformer channel he done some upgrades to his It may save you some time and money ? I'm sure you will figure it out though you're a pretty fart smeller I mean smart feller 😁 ✌️
That is very cool. My favorite ww2 time fighter plane.
Sorry but just not work $600 usd. Thats just stupid. I can see 200.
Hi Brian, hope you're day is going well. I was wondering if you have tried this beautiful WarBird on 8s yet or possibly a different pitched prop, and if so how did she do? Thank you and your Wife for all these amazing videos. 🤙🏼
Nope, 6S max so far, and 4S did wonderfully, if you ask me. I'd like to try the 6S with the stock wood prop, but fear it'll break
Nice video! Mine just came today. Can’t wait to see it fly! Thanks for the info on the plane! 👍🙋♂️🖖🏻
Thanks, and good luck! Don't freak out when she's slow...but just keep throttle on. I fly this plane at like 60-100% all the time, something I hoped I wouldn't have to do...but it's still AMAZING looking and the presence is palpable. Hope you love it too!
Omg you had my heart racing when you were soldering incase some solder dripped on to the wing....
yeah!
Looks great but because you have to screw the wings on would be a problem to transport.
I think this plane is pretty huge no matter what you're doing with it...sitting there, it's HUGE, but it's also for this same reason that it has such amazing presence ;)
After watching this review and RC Informe's review, it sounds like this one is very pretty but underpowered. Sigh.
I reviewed it after new prop, and it's an appreciable improvement. Check out the video... ruclips.net/video/FQa1YwZxujY/видео.html ...RCInformer is very good, and I can't hold a candle to his VAST experience, except that sometimes this does make for a different point of view. You might be surprised how I like it. I don't want to spend $500+ on a plane, then add another $200-300 for ESC and Motor...
Have a great Christmas.
I have a P51 being purchased on your link for my Christmas. Thanks for all your help this year.
Thanks Terry! Merry Christmas to you too!
Hello Brian and Mrs Megan aka camera crew. Beautiful plane. Informative and useful video. Thanks for the video keep flying you guys.
Our pleasure!
Man in a head wind that birds speed is a serious issue. 20 knot wind it's not moving at all.
Your thoughts
Ground speed is only an issue if you have to land - LOL :)
Brian did you set the esc to high timing? I know they come from the factory set to low. Didn’t know if it would really make that much or if any difference ?
I didn't mess with that. I know Rich (RCInformer) always plays with these things, and he is VERY good at tinkering, in fact, he's been doing it for probably 2.5 decades longer than me...so if he's saying it's a good idea, I would not venture to guess he's wrong. Give it a try if you wish, but I didn't (just FYI).
Hey I got a fms p51 1700 mm and I run a 4000 man 40 c 6cell pack in it. I also have to fly that bird at almost consistent max throttle. But I only get about 3 min flights with it my cell checker (same as in video) always shows that I'm at like 18 percent when I land any ideas as to how I can extend my flight time I'd love it if I could get this long of flight time out of it . Thanks and keep making awesome videos like this
You'll need a bigger pack, or two in parallel might be another option.
@@BrianPhillipsRC okay do you have a certain size you'd recomend or should I just try to use the same size pack you did in the video?
for added scale looks, a few drops of solder dropped on the wing would look like bullet holes.....:-)
LOL!
BTW Excellent video I love all of your stuff, even the tractor videos are entertaining and I live in an urban area. I'll never need a tractor :-)
Awesome! I used to live in the city, and have learned more than I ever wanted to know so far about farming and tractors. They are EXPENSIVE!!! We spend WAY more on our tractor than our family car! But it's way cooler too ;)
I flew nitro RC planes years ago (AT-6, P-51 and a ZERO) when I was in the NAVY. Great video and watched from Jacksonville FL. :)
COOL! Did you fly as part of your service, or while you were in the service?
@@BrianPhillipsRC I was an AT in the service, but flew RC planes for fun. "Crazy story" I brought my 60 ZERO with a .90 4 stroke to a command picnic on base along the beach and knew to stay low to avoid (the very near by ships) radar, but about 100 seagulls started attacking the plane. LOL it became a real aerial dog fight within min's , so in order to lose them to land I planned to go for the sky real quick then come down and land. But once the plane went over a few 100 ft or so I think the ships radar got it because I lost total control of the plane. It went full throttle straight up for a few more hundred feet finally stalled and pointed straight down "full throttle!" The plane was screaming on its way down and I knew once the plane was low enough I would gain control again, but it was going too fast. It leveled out with the curb in the parking lot and broke into a million pieces. Luckily I missed ALL the cars, UPS driver making a delivery dove back into his truck and other people who dove out of the way. After my walk of shame picking up the pieces and apologizing to everyone base security drove up on me and asked if that plane was mine I said yes, then they said well there is a WW2 vet who was in the Perl harbor attacks hiding it the near by baseball diamond dugout. Once it started the dive back down apparently he thought we were under attack again from Japan and he dove into the dugout. I didn't fly much after that and 20 years later I still feel very bad for the WW2 vet. At the time I didn't know about PTSD, but I know I triggered it with him.
Great looking. I generally fly smaller planes with more revs per volt. This seemed more like a high torque but low rev set up for the massive four-blade. More scale perhaps?
Several others have evidently had the same complaint, as we have a new prop en route now ;) We'll re-review with that upgrade!!!
Sweet, a tail hook, now you can devote all your massive amounts of spare time making some scale arresting gear. Okay in a more serious tone, thanks for the advice and your time.
AWESOME comment! You get the award for the day!!! "Massive amounts of spare time" ;) - LOVE IT!!!
flys just fine for me,, scale,, love the slow realistic landing gear,, just fine for me,,
Fair enough! I like that it's good flying slow, BUT I can say it leaves very little in terms of margins if the motor would fail ;)
I will have this plane, I wounded if it is a squirrelly as the 1.5 mustang on take off?
NO, WAAAAAY better in that sense!!! FYI, from GRASS, both do so much better!
That is the way I love to fly them nothing fancy. Love how you show us how to change flight control characteristics. I never would figure it out.
I'm glad the stuff we're sharing is helping you Tim! Thanks for coming back again!!!
As directed in this video, I'm posting a suggestion for another airplane review. I sent you an email about the OMP Hobby BIGHORN. Just got one of these a couple of weeks ago and all I can say is WOW! It's a PNP balsa/plywood plane that's priced similarly to a foamie. Check it out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. (and no, I have no connection to the company other than I just purchased one of their planes).
As always, thanks much for sharing.
Steve
I will check it out - I do reviews for OMP Hobby ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC , cool! I think you're going to very pleasantly surprised. The plane is designed for a 3s battery, but it can run on a 4s as well. It is plenty capable with 3s, but 4s turns it into a real stunner.
Steve
So god sklil 👍
Thanks!
Keep an eye on that board in there. I have replace 3 of them so far in my FMS P-40B 1400. I have now pulled the board and running it with 5 Y- cables what a mess of wires. I’m thinking of making mine own custom cables to make it easy to plug in.
Will do, and Thanks! Hope this V3 has that part settled!!! What was failing? Traces on the PCB? Breaking????
@@BrianPhillipsRC It was mix of both. there were bad boards and wires popping off due to cold joints. I just got done trying to install the MCB-E Blue box from Freewing in it to try and clean up the wires. Everything works but the landing gear now. Had to walk away from it for a bit. If I can’t get it to work it’s back to all the Y-leads again.
It would be cool if you could change the pitch on the prop blades! 🤔
I've seen that before, but variable pitch would be super expensive on a beauty like this. They're sending me a new prop now. Shipped last week, thought I'd have ti this weekend, but it hasn't shown up yet.
Comes with folding wing option, but only works once.
LOL - Very nice!!!
I"m jealous. in this world we live in its nice to see honest hard work pay off. congrats.
Thank you, and I totally agree ;) Seems the shortcut method is the one that gets all the praise, but hard work can and does pay off.
Thanks!
yea brian i flew my 1.7 p47 on a 4500 and accidentely forgot to set timer and it went past 13 minutes with tons of battery left lol
WHAT?!!?!?!?! That's CRAZY! 13 minutes ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC yea i mean i wasnt cranking on it but yea i was shocked too
Kick up the timing on the ESC! Might give you a few more RPM'S!
Not sure I want to have to do this to get the plane to fly faster. I think the plane should be 25% faster without any adjustment....but it DOES fly ;)
I have the hobby king land caster, cool plane but not easy! It flys very heavy and fast and snap happy it’s just junk! Not just you I have had the same problem!
I'm glad to hear, but I was nothing of the RC pilot I am today, when I first had her. I guess, technically, she's still in the basement feeling neglected. I could take her up for a fresh flight, and see how horrifically she flies now ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC I’ve been flying for 25 years. I do everything from scale warbirds to 250mph plus electric planes. I have a giant scale ASM land caster witch is 1000% better then the hobbykind. The hobby king is to heavy and to small heavy wing loading. I’ll be looking forward to a flight video!
Would you provide an actual measured ready to fly weight with specified battery? Additionally, the length of your concrete driveway? I'm flying off 200ft runway and am sensitive to wing loading, overall weight and landing speed. Excellent review!
My driveway is less than 200 feet, so you should be totally fine. As for the other issue, the "slowness", keep in mind, I'll be reviewing this plane with the "new" prop asap when it arrives. The prop in in the mail, but taking FOR-EVER.
Sorry, No for the weight part...I won't weigh it for you, but the wing loading and weight IS specified in the links I provided in the description... (F4U Corsair 1.7m bit.ly/2HV65xP - this one, then scroll down under "Features" and you can click "show more" and there's an exhaustive list.) Hope this takes care of your question. Battery differences will be minor issues in a plane of this size...since the difference in weight will be measured in the 100's of grams between the largest and smallest.
@@BrianPhillipsRC OK Thanks.
Just curious...you mentioned it wasn't as fast as you thought it might be. Is it possible to change the motor for a more powerful one?
Sure can, but might just do the ESC first. They (speaking to FMS) DID replace the prop, and we re-filmed...might want to watch that video before we go any further on this thread ;)
Bought ready to buy this, how can you tell if you have the newer prop?
New to this, your videos help me understand a lot! Subbed, I have a fms Corsair 800mm rtf coming for my very first plane! Hope to get some good experience so I can step up to one of these big boys! I can’t decide between the 1700mm Corsair or the 1.5 p-51 mustang BNF basic with smart?
If you're new, Please seriously consider THESE (below) ones first. Trust me that BOTH of the planes you mentioned are less than "easy" in the scope of a newer RC pilot (or did you mean, NEW to our channel? If so, I apologize for my misread!). Both of the bigger planes you mentioned are super nice, but they are not as easy as their 1.2m counterparts. PLUS the 1.2m counterparts are quite a bit easier on the pocket book (cheaper planes, cheaper batteries...A LOT). Not trying to talk you out of those birds, as they are GREAT, but they are so much more to handle!
Whatever you decide, good luck & happy flying Van! Welcome to our channel!

@@BrianPhillipsRC That’s crazy you mentioned that! I actually just bought an NX6 with a 1.2 e-flight P-47 with safe fly Razorback to graduate to eventually and tinker with in the mean time. I am new to the hobby. Thanks so much for the input. Do you have any recommendations on the setup so far per the manual recommended settings are inputted. I actually like the size of the 1.2. Definitely looking forward to the smaller 800mm to fly as much as possible. For $150 rtf what an amazing deal for a starter plane! I will continue to fly that until feel comfortable to bring out the Razorback.
Great SCALE flying warbird!...dont need jet speed
I think it could really use some more speed. Power is totally fine.
Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous
Totally. She is a beauty!!!
Did you have to calibrate the esc, because that plane, or at least you would think, should be a ton more faster. Great vids Brian
Yeah, it's slow, but flies well. I was very disappointed about that, but it's correctable, and FMS sent out new props to everyone who got this V3 plane...I got the new prop, BTW but we haven't filmed the remaiden after swapping out the prop. Only issue is that it looks EXACTLY the same as the provided 18X11 prop that was on it...so I'm suspect of the prop NOT being different at all. We'll have to wait and see. I'm not sure what to think on this one. We had burms of snow on either side of the driveway when we got the prop installed, but then it's be CRAZY windy ever since...so we will film as soon as we get an opportunity.
Calibrating the ESC is not going to make this plane faster or slower. RCInformer has been doing that because he swapped out the ESC and Motor and Battery (Cell counts) but I didn't do any of that, so won't typically make a difference, unless there's something wrong with the system. I typically only think about calibrating an ESC if the prop spins at startup, or if I have twin engines I want to sink up.
Thanks for checking in Brad ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for your knowledge Brian, Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Like standing in front of a loaded gun. I got bit once. Once.
yeah, but you gotta get the thing setup. I've been nipped once, and was lucky it was a small plane.
Can you ply give me a gee bee ply umx for Christmas
I don't have one myself....
I like Corsair :)
Me too!
Freewing Mig 29 a must Brian …. Push the button, do the deed , be impressed ITS REALLY AWESOME 😎
Call up Motion RC and talk some sense into them, and we will VERY GLADLY work with them at the drop of a hat ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC just spoke to the m Brian , they said you were to shy and retiring and Camara crews nails were to outlandish .How dare they 😯😉🙃
Have threatened to send my money to you rather than them …. Think I’m ill 🤧
Nice bird, but you would've been more impressed with the Flightline brand Corsair from Motion RC. I know you like Horizon, just saying.
Tell them to send one...AFTER the AL37, and F14 ;) I'd be totally happy to work with MotionRC, but they've made it clear they're NOT interested in working with me ;( Maybe some day - BUT, I'm not holding my breath.
Thanks Patrick!
@@BrianPhillipsRC why would motion rc not be interested though?
@@mapetas_0213 probably because they have their own guy doing all the demo flying videos.
Brian very very very very beatful...thanks my Friends...
It sure is!
Hello Brian to you and your film crew really great video, my wife thinks I have to many planes I want her to watch your video. Thanks!
Brian, did you say you can add safe to the 1.2 corsair?
Well, you can technically ADD SAFE to any plane you want to (Well within this approximate size class), but the 1.2m is AS3X only at the moment. It's still running an AR636A (I think)....but you can buy an AR637T and for sure swap out the Rx. It would be an easy change, but pretty expensive. If you buy it as a PNF, you can save a few bucks and go that route, but I'd say, just get the BNF and fly with AS3X only...but that's just my two cents ;)
Thinking of buying this plane but I do have a few questions… Do the wings fold, if not do you know any with folding wings, also if it crashes will it be fixable?
What state are you in, it looks awesome there
We're in Central Iowa, USA. We love it here, but we recently purchased this property and built our home here. It's been a lot of work, but it's really amazing having the space, and freedom, especially with the COVID insanity that's going around the world!!
Nice flying ace.👍😉👍 good footage camera crew👍
We appreciate you being here Brian!!! She is GOOD :)
Great video as usual Brian. Are you planning a Draco video soon? That looks a great new one from Horizon.
For sure! We have the Draco now, BUT we literally aren't allowed to review yet. It's not our choice, and we weren't thrilled about it... This is one of the largest releases in years, and we have to wait a few more than a few weeks, and it's killing us! We WILL ABSOLUTELY BE REVIEWING IT AS SOON AS WE'RE ALLOWED! Please understand, our hands are tied. We can't even publish a photos :(....
In the mean time, you can always follow the "Master Link" for Horizon Hobby and just navigate to whatever item(s) you decide to buy, or any of the other links below too. We've been trying to help facilitate people while they wait for our review.
