The gull wing actually gave the Corsair MORE performance and was one of the fastest single engine prop fighters of the war. It was the first single seat fighter to break 400 mph. The poor performance you speak of was due to nasty stall characteristics on landings. They called it the "Ensin Eliminator" because if you got slow on approach and stalled, it would tip violently to one side. If you gobbed on the power to recover, the torque of the massive engine would be too much to control. Two things were done to correct this. One, a stall strip was added to one wing to help the wings stall evenly and the British developed a better circle pattern to land on a carrier vs the longer straight in the US was using. Anyway, the more you know, lol. Nice planes, even better flying. Keep up the good work!

You are incorrect on why the Corsair has a Galwing. You was to raise height because of the size of prop that was needed on that Pratt & Whitney engine

Is this prop to scale? Seems like that first take off it would have smacked the ground. It went high tail up.

The Vought F4U Corsair has the bent wings for a number of reasons...but it isn't to save space for storage. Like all other WW 2 aircraft designed for carrier use, it has *folding wings*. The downward bend, or negative dehedrial of the F4U inner wings comes from the size of the prop, and the need to have landing gear long enough and strong enough to keep the prop as high as possible during landing and takeoff. Also from an aerodynamics point of view, the negative dehedrial makes an aircraft easier to maneuver because it has "negative stability". If you look at the wings of an airliner, you will notice that the wings in flight have an upward, or positive dehedrial, which gives it positive stability. That means that if the pilot lets go of the controls of a properly trimmed with proper CG aircraft, it will tend towards returning to level flight by itself. But when an aircraft has either neutral or negative stability, will be easier to maneuver as the aircraft will continue in whatever attitude it is in, and give control surfaces more authority which is what you want to a fighter. But too much negative stability, and the plane becomes unflyable...by a human. Some modern military aircraft have a fair bit of negative stability, and thus need the help of a flight computer to control the aircraft.

I recently watched a WWII documentary that talked about the F4U. The seagull wings were actually to provide a mount point for the landing gear that would raise the body of the airplane. This allowed for a longer propeller, which provided more thrust. If you look at a picture of a real Corsair, it typically has a 3-blade prop which extends below the body and nearly to the a level even with the top of the tire.

That is wild! I honestly had no idea! Thanks a lot for sharing 👍💯😎⚓️

17:25 is the best landing I've seen. Looked SO REAL!

The Corsair had nothing but speed. Thanks for the fun. Blessings

The gull wing is because of the size of the prop on the real one. It was to large for a flat wing so the dip was created to help the landing gear be short and strong but give the height needed for the prop to clear the deck. But it's ok. A lot of people get it wrong one way or another. It is a weird plane. But beautiful.

And it was faster and had a higher turn rate than the p51, so didn't sacrifice maneuverability due to the wing design, if anything it made it better...

Being mean to them over information disagreements...need not be so toxic... please keep that in mind...these two are great human beings...have a great flying day out there...Wheels Up 🛫🛫🛫

That last P-51 landing,,AWESOME!!!

My next plane is going to be the P51 war bird, I'm glad to see you flying it and demo it for me . Thank You and God Bless you all.. Been flying already today ..

War birds ,were designed to fly at the edge . With near instant and raw performance . Not for the light hearted .Or slow to react flight dynamics. They are my favorite planes. You guys made look easy ,great flight and camera work . Thanks again and God bless 🙏

Hey Nate Great job flying those classic planes. I love watching them fly low & slow very cool. Would like to see those in my Hanger. Thanks

actually, corsairs have gull wings so that the propeller will not hit the ground during take-off or landing.

Gotta say Nate...your flying skills really started improving late last year, I'm impressed! 👍👍

Two of my favorites warbirds. I had them both by GWS back in the days 😎

Definitely one of my favorite videos! Thank U!!

Gota love the corsair 😊

Love the longer format. Keep em comin! Great warbirds. Great flying. And great camera work, Abby 👍

I prefer the way the FMS 1700mm F4U Corsair V3 flies. It is on rails and can slow to a walking speed. I also love the small Hobbyking 750mm PNP Corsair. You can't beat it for 120 dollars as a park flyer that is on rails with the ORX gyro and it is stinking fast on 3s. I learned how to fly with a GWS Corsair. It was a foam kit you had to build and glue all together. The wing loading was so light it was so much fun to fly. It's too bad they were discontinued a long time ago. I love building and painting those 901mm wingspan kits. They flew so well even with a brushed motor and Ni-MH battery.

the wings folded for storage but the gull wing was for propeller clearance above the deck. they could not use longer gear because if they did the gear would brake on landing.

Nate you are a great pilot, but Abby i think your camera is like contacts you miss nothing, youre the best

Late squad tonight happy flying all 😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

I wouldnt even wanna choose. Eflite delivers again.

Great to see so much love for the E-flite 1.2m warbirds! Love them all!!

The gull wing was to make a plane with a large prop to get everything out of the R-2800 Double Wasp but also short gear for carrier landings. It needed ground clearance for the prop and robust short gear.

Great format. I really like what y’all did with this session!

Nice flying Nate ! I am very happy that you went to Joe Nall this year. I have went myself about 6yrs ago and it was a blast. I think anyone that is in the RC hobby needs to go at least once in there life ; for me it was an experience that I will never forget. You need to give us fans a heads up if you plan to go again say next year because I sure would like to meet you and your wife. Love your channel, Love your reviews. Keep um coming. Awesome filming Abby !

Awesome Flying 😎 🤙🏼

I'll always pick the Mustang!! lol

The inverted gull wings on the Corsair were not there because the wings needed to fold for carrier storage. The are lots of straight-winged carrier planes with folding wings. They were there to allow clearance for the massive propeller.

Glad you got to go to Nall. I got this bird and the last 2 P-51s e-flite came out with. BUT, I changed it into a “B” model. Have not flown but turned out nice. Hope e-flite or someone will make a TBF Avenger about 1600mm WS with torpedo drop 😃👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻

NiceNate, Abby awsome camera, your the best

Would love to see you do some radio setups also, I know alot of people have difficulty setting up safe and as3x. Yes keep up the longer format.

Great video thanks! I just got my first ever planes the Eachine 400mm Corsair and the p51 , because of your videos on them 🙏. They did not disappoint. Now after seeing this video I really want that Much larger p51 mustang, again great video and thanks you so much for all the work and effort you both put into this channel.

I'm not sure i agree with your historical analysis of the gull wing on the Corsair. It had it's quirks but in the right hands it was one of the most capable WW2 birds we had.

So far I've only flown micro/mini warplanes, i want to eventually get into flying the bigger ones like in the video but pretty much everyone says any and all warplanes should be flown by much much more advanced flyers. Now that more RC planes are offering better technology for flyers that want to advance in the hobby I'd like to know from you guys and the comment section if anyone just went head first into flying warplanes and got one as a first or even second plane. Was it as difficult as I've heard? Was it super intimidating?

Great video. Nate, your flying skills have improved so much since I first started watching your channel a couple of years ago. That P-51 looks like a bird I need for my fleet.

Fun video, Slight correction? The corsair Gull shape wing was driven by the powerful engine and large prop. The inverted gull wing reduced the length of strut required for prop clearance. And yes, I picked up my elite corsair thanks to your last video and link.

What a GREAT Air Show!! Too many numbers for me to remember, but I do know pilots are all about numbers!! Thanks Saylors for the LONG video!! Get it?! If your vids are LONG, I'll just watch HALF of it!! 😂😂💟👍😘

Hey Nate Friendly advice, I see at 9:46 you're using full rudder to no avail. If you give the plane a blip of power the slipstream will improve rudder effectiveness but won't cause enough speed for T/O. Always helps to think about prop slipstream VS control surface effectiveness from the extra airflow.

Both are amazing 1.2 warbirds 🙌🙌🙌🙌

That last landing was very cool looking. 👍 Unfortunately I only fly off of grass [with my non-UMX planes] and have learned that retracts take a real beating doing grass Ops... So, no retract models for me. 😢

Amazing flying and they look so real. All they need is some sort of sound emulator lol......oh and 30mm machine guns.

That dive into landing is known as a tactical landing or Sarajevo Approach. It is a tactical approach (25º glide slope) that was designed to minimize the time an aircraft was exposed to small arms fire during operations into Sarajevo during the Bosnian War.

Nice P-51 landing 👏👏

Great Job at the Nall one day i will attend hope to meet you one day Great flight too on these war birds .

The t28 would have been cool in this video

Excellent take off !!!

I finally have my own Corsair and I love it

Nice landing, greetings from Mexico.

Abby and Nate y'all rock! Peace

Thanks for showing us these awesome warbirds! I would be interested to see you flying these with a 4S 3200 battery. I already have the P51 but can’t properly use a 4S 3200mAh because the canopy barely fits with it as it pushes against the back of the battery; the height of the 4th cell is in the way if you like to have a CG according the manual. I tried to fly it once anyways but the imperfect fit blew off the canopy of the P51 while I tried a full power pass :/

The Corsair was faster (juuustl and more maneuverable then the P51 despite being heavier... Not sure why you said the Corsair suffered from the wing being foldable?

So i have the mustang in a 750mm configuration. Only it came from hobbyking. It's the "moonbeam mcswine " livery from the same fighter group . Made by toprc. And my friend has the Corsair in the same livery only its 850mm by fms. They both have spectrum electronics in them and they fly great. They also cost alot less too.

NO, He is not incorrect, and you are not totally correct, you both are correct, a combo of designs for carrier use. The gull wing was to enable stronger, shorter beefy landing gear, as well as making room for the magnificent 13 foot prop, and of course folding wings are desireable for carriers, even smaller F-18 has folding wings. So, good job, you both are correct. Keep in mind, while flying planes, pilots use less words when it comes to history, even Corsair info on Flitetest video is limited part of history. Did you know that the US navy decided NOT to use the corsair on carriers due to not being able to see the runway when landing? It took the British to figure out the turning approach for successful landing before the US fully engaged the Corsair for carriers.
