Nate: A split flap isn't crow. It's a flap where the upper surface of the wing doesn't move with the flap. Crow is when the flap goes down and the ailerons go up to give even more "braking surface" and to break the airflow over the upper surface of the wing.

I am new to your channel but I really enjoy it! I raced RC Cars back in the 80's. I'm a Navy Aviation vet so I love aircraft. I never got into flying RC planes they were too expensive to crash and burn back then. But these electrics have sparked my interest. Thanks!

Today I made a mistake I can't believe. After loading up my car to leave the field (E-Flight Valiant with a stand, ammo box with my lipos, and tool box. I drove off with a small foam 747 on my roof. I bought it from Banggood after seeing on your channel. Loved that little guy and it flew amazing.

FYI, war planes have a heavy torque so right rudder is a must, I have a RocHobby Critical Mass and it's a blast at 115 mph but rudder control is hard.

Beautiful landing :)

You can move the clevis one hole in on the servo, or one hole out on the elevator if the movements are to large.

Fun Flight with the P51. If you left the flaps on, eh, you had fun and brought the plane home safe.

Great flying plane. Don’t beat yourself up over the half flaps. If that was my biggest mistake today, I’d be happy. Thank you both for another great video. God bless.

Great landing. Not a fan of foamies but that one does look good and seems to fly good. Thanks for posting.

Kudos on the landing. 👍 Mustangs are NOT that easy to land. But I'm amazed you're new to expo...it is your friend. More so than rates, because you still have full throw. I've got a plane or two that I literally have 70% expo on rudder/steerable gear just to get it down the runway to a decent takeoff speed. I've got other planes with 50-60% expo on low rate elevator to smooth out the landing approach. Great for numbing the center of the stick to remove twitch and smooth out flight. Oh! Setup some elevator mix into the flap settings. Start with 7% down for takeoff flaps & 12% for landing flaps. Adjust accordingly from there. This way you're not fighting with the elevator when actuating flaps. It's not cheating because real planes have it too. Rudder mix is cheating. 😆

I love the fact you guys leave your mistakes in your videos, to err is human, especially when you own up to making them! I have had such good luck with Arrows planes, I think they make quality planes, they aren't perfect but they are good planes especially for the price in my opinion. I prefer Arrows/FMS planes to horizon hobby/e-flite, I have had better luck with the quality on the Arrows/FMS planes.

That is a perfect landing. 👏👏👏

Nice! Finally got my FMS 1450 P51 can’t wait to maiden nice flight👍🏽

What a perfect landing Nate. Flight was very impressive with half flaps. Keep having fun guys. 👍🤘

Thankya Nate & thankya Abby for sharing this video. Well done on the flight of the gorgeous P-51D Mustang, regardlessof "half flap" flight. It did well & the 3 point touch down was aw e some!! My absolute favorite airplane of all time! God bless!

Thanks Nate. Great video, glad to see when you leave mistakes in the videos so I know when I make a noob mistake, everyone does at some point. And being filmed, talking, and dealing with wind and sun can't be easy! And I know you understand the difference between split flaps and crow. It's just a lot to jumble in your head at once. Keep up the great content guys!

Greased landing! My favorite part.

Great landing!

Flying with flaps was your mistake?! I wish I was that perfect. Nice video as usual.

Could u do a vid on the Eflite p-51d 1.2 meter

“To err is human”, and the source of an occasional rush of adrenaline. For years I have been puzzled by your resolve to not use expo, when you embrace every other technological advancement the hobby offers. We live and learn. It’s a good looking Mustang! The rear wheel is probably more robust than a retractable would be, and I honestly couldn’t see it when it was flying.

I have been flying for 25 years and yes I have done the same young man it's easy to do when distracted and have a great flying plan.. HAVE FUN THATS WHAT RC IS ALL ABOUT 👍👍

Love this plane,i have the small one,would love this at some point 👍👍👍

That shot when the plane was flying into the sun was money it was so pretty. Good flight Nate. It sure was pretty watch in the air

You are flying so much smoother. I always said you had too much throw in the controls, and planes flew twitchy.

Nice flight (even with 1/2 flaps 1/2 the time). Yea...I'm one who didn't like the non-retracting tail wheel...but at that price point it would be IMPOSSIBLE to incorporate such...Setting up a working retractable tail wheel is NO simple thing (I've looked at building a 1/4 scale balsa P-51...and the cost of the 3-wheel retract systems is greater than the cost of your P-51. As always glad you had a beautiful day. Thanking God for both of you.

Did you adjust the control travel to the specs in the manual?

Flaps up on all foamy aircraft on take-off. You don't need them leaving the ground in 9 feet at 8 mph. Roll on the throttle progressively as you work that rudder. The wing loading is so light on 1.2 m aircraft you simply do not need the extra lift and it might get you airborne, and into dangerously slow flight before the control surfaces are able to really do their best work. Scale take offs are the best takeoffs!

Aeroscout is a Great 1st plane.

Those mistakes like forgetting to bring the flaps back up is something that any pilot can make. With model airplanes, the worst it will probably cause is for you do lose the plane in a crash. In real planes, they have a checklists that they go through pre-takeoff and post takeoff, because a mistake there is likely to kill someone, including yourself! It was a nice flight, and that version of the P-51D is a great looking plane!

that was a good landing Nate.

I need help replacing the tail gear on my plane it is the exact model can you do a tutorial on how to do it please that would mean a lot

Leaving the flaps extended was a rookie mistake. Or as I might call it, a thing I would do and never even notice I did. One thing though: To me, the P-51 with the external fuel cells symbolizes the Mustang coming into its own in terms of history. When they got to the later variants, the P-51 had the range to escort Fortresses all the into and back out of the target area. My great uncle was a B-17 crewman in the Mighty Eighth, so I like the tanks. Of course, I'd remove them to fly the RC version. I don't need to get from East Anglia to Germany and back from where I'm standing. :)

Half flap b52 was a rocking flight i loved it it may of ben a flat out mistake as it was a bit slow but it was an aswome flight

Wow 🤩🤩🤩

Both the Arrows 1.1m Corsair and the 1.1m Mustang are tail-heavy with a 3S 2200. Brian Phillips puts a 4S 3200 in his to tame these, along with increasing the rudder throw for those takeoffs.

If the flaps are your only error you are doing well.

Would you rather fly the Arrows P-51 or T-28? I love the E-Flite yellow Trojan 1.1 so much that I went for the Arrows T-28.

I never thought I’d see the day that Nate started using expo.

Hahaha, "So they should forget everything you said up to this point? About the expo?" I love it. I also agree with Abby- move the clevis! Get the airframe flying right then apply electronic correction. "Like Abby said!" Thank you guys SO much. Be well :)

when do u get a new balsa plane?

I bought the Arrows Corsair and what an amazing bird

Nate, for the love of anything, put a little transit time in your flap system. Yes, a retractable tail wheel would be super cool, even if I can't see the wheel when your flying. But the flap snap??? Ugh, so not scale!

Love ya guys. Nat might won’t to rethink holding plane with prop next to his arm by elbow . Would be really bad if it come on by freak reason r throttle bump. Just hate seeing people get sliced up . It’s happed at our club

My full scale instructor said to me years ago "if you don't want to be humbled, Don't Fly!" She went on to say that we all make mistakes and it was good training and good habits that just might get you back on the ground in one piece. A pilot at my home field once reported his nose wheel tug stolen and was irate. The next day one of the people that lived near the airport came into the airport managers office and said they found something that must have fallen off an airplane. That is right, it was the missing tug... the pilot took off with it attached to the nose gear. Flying around with a few degrees of flaps in a plane, that you are not physically piloting from the inside of the craft, seems very minor in comparison.

If you get looking through post-war P-51 pics, the tailwheel being locked down was not an uncommon modification.

Hay I’m looking to get a drone I’m debating to get a 90 dollar brushless gps drone off Amazon or do I get the mjx bugs 3?

Warbirds are generally more difficult to fly due to the higher wing loading from retracts etc... and so not best suited to beginners. Go for a slower flying high wing trainer with a gyro which can give you auto levelling when you let go the sticks. You can switch that mode off when you feel ready... but also keep it available as a get out of jail switch when you lose orientation.

@@paulhope3401 I have the Blondie P-51, it's the same size as this one and it flies like a low-wing trainer. It has AS3X for wind stability and a fair amount of dihedral. The airfoil is fairly forgiving and it doesn't stall hard. It'll drop a wing, but it's recoverable within 10 feet. The only PITA with warbirds are their tendency to nose over in grass.

In simple terms, its like putting slow motion on your sticks so the plane doesn't snap around and cause you to crash. This is what SAFE does as well. You can search YT for tutorials setting up expo on your transmitter. I only use Spectrum DX model transmitters, you go into model settings and select DR and Expo.

People are too picky on a plane at that price point. Tail wheel is a non-issue. Half flaps actually made it look more “scale”!

Ok. I need to ask, what is Expo?

@big-smoke-rc

Жыл бұрын

It's a 'deadening' of the stick towards the center. The further towards the ends of the sticks movement you get, the *more* sensitive (lower resolution) the response becomes. The closer to center the sticks are, the *less* sensitive (higher resolution) the response. The relationship between these values is exponential, as opposed to linear, thus the name. More 'expo' = a more pronounced effect. This means you can still have full 100% travel on the surfaces when you need it, but a more docile response in normal flight (near the center of the sticks). I prefer using exponential to changing rates, as the ultimate performance of the model doesn't change.. just your ability to control it!

@andystoybox1723

Жыл бұрын

Think of the steering wheel in your car when you turn the wheel it turns the tires right away … if you would add expo it would take more turning of the steering wheel to turn the tires … so basically what you are doing is making the turning less sensitive…. You will still be able to turn the tires but not as quickly.. in flying this is good because sometimes over controlling will make the plane fly all over the place , it won’t be as smooth ..

If the worst thing to happen during a flight is forgetting to put the flaps up, I'd call that a great flight.

The punishment for flying with flaps down is 20 lashes with a wet noodle. Proper landing for a REAL warbird was 3 point landing. They already take a lot of runway. My friend flew P-47s during the war. A 5000 foot long runway was sometimes not enough for a takeoff. Started takeoff roll with right rudder full on and steered with throttle. Third; please finish those invasion stripes. Fourth and last; If they complain about the tail wheel answer them with a proper raspberry! It's your plane. They should be so lucky to have it.
