Amazing Giant Scale F4U Corsair Maiden Flight - TRUE RADIAL SOUND!

Ғылым және технология

Crank up the sound on this one, it sounds incredible! While looking for some footage for another video, I happened across this gem of a monstrous F4U Corsair maiden flight at an event from a few years ago. In addition to this being an immaculate model, the beauty is that because it was a maiden at an event, the airplane had the sky all to itself which means unhindered sound from the amazing Moki Radial engine it's powered with. The flight was cut a little short due to some landing gear troubles, but otherwise all and all, a successful maiden!

    Ohhhh that is a beauty! Nice long take off....all the flaps deployed was a unreal look....nicely done model. Looks like after the landing you might have hit a repaired bomb crater since the plane bounced, someone needs to get on ground maintenance to flatten out that section.

    I must say it was not the normal sound a Moki makes. It almost seems that his cam timing is different or he's routed his exhaust differently than the std engine. Never heard a Moki sound like that. Nice. Beautiful plane too. I hope his landings improve, I skipped a heart beat on that one myself and it's not my plane.

  • @Thercgeek

    I’m not sure, but it’s definitely more throaty than most of the other mokis I’ve witnessed. I’m guessing has to do with the exhaust.

    Whoever was flying that should be careful coming in. Those trees are probably a lot closer than you'd think and that plane is big. Distances are very difficult to make out with such an approach. I'd try coming in from the other side or maybe doing a low angle turn into the final approach. Would hate to see a plane like that lost due to the distance error - it's all gotten us at some point.
