Extremely rare in the wild, the albino Corsair lacks the naval camouflage of its brethren. This is a distinct disadvantage and makes it survival to it current size extraordinary. I feel very fortunate to have seen this.

I think a video on the tech channel about this spar style and how to make the removable wing, and also how to cut out similar spars without power tools or laser cutters. It'd be helpful for the community monster projects.

I'm sorry, but one of my favorite videos is the Cozy Coup. I don't consider that a failure.... My other is the flying chair. Stefan, you nailed it brother!

Built and flew several. Have one now. My all time best flying airplane. Fast, slow, always smooth, very forgiving, I really don't understand how some people complain about it's stability. If you get the spar right, they're pretty indestructable.

Just been catching up with the FT videos and that Corsair looks stunning. Can't wait to see it painted up. Hearing Noah talk about the presence it had in the air made me wonder, has anyone ever done an AVRO Vulcan yet, especially in a monster size? Whether it be with EDFs or props, I bet that would very definitely have some presence!

Looking forward (and saving up some $$$) to when you guys offer these big ones in kit form. Love the Corsair. Totally beautiful plane.

My dad was WWII SW Pacific theater veteran, and he would have loved seeing this Corsair fly. Back in 1967 he help me make a 1/48 scale Corsair model, and I still have it. This, and your Zero videos are two of my favorites. I had an uncle who was a pilot in the Imperial Japanese Navy. In fact he and my dad fought on opposite sides in the Philippines at the very same battle Lingayen Gulf. I'm looking forward to seeing the Zero, and the Corsair in a dogfight. Wish my dad and uncle could see it too. Keep up the great work.

You already made Cabby from Disney's Planes Fire and Rescue. Now you have made Skipper from Disney's Planes. Now he just needs his paint job, number 7, and Jolly Wrenches squadron insignia.

The most beautiful plane ever!

You didn't mention the folding wing concept in your overview. Love this aircraft though. 👍

That's pretty snazzy my dudes! Wish I could build stuff like you

Yes, that plane was my dream RC model! I started building one. Only having to change my ideas. Started college and had to set that stuff aside. And didn't get back into it since then.

10:23 - That is an amazing looking, Bronco John!

Beautiful Autumn colours on the trees!

I cant wait for the new mini corsair plans!

It looks so cool! Love that wing shape!

My Grandfather was secounded to the USAF from the RNZAF as an armourer to help with the fitting and debugging of the guns on the Corsair. Cheers from NZ

You guys are inspiring, so passionate and professional.

Wow, the drone footage looks amazing!

I saw a Corsair do a mock battle with a Zero at the WWII Exposition in Reading Airport (Reading PA). Of course, that was almost twenty years ago. It's still my all time favorite plane.

That looks awesome and scale can’t wait to see it painted

The Corsair wasn't bent winged because of the prop size, or the Hellcat would have had the same issue since it had nearly the same engine and propeller setup. The gullwing was done to shorten the landing gear.

Great video! Loved the pictures of the history and background of the Corsair and the flights with the fall colors were really fun to watch. Great content, great work. Keep 'em coming.

Open up the cowling flaps to take some pressure off of the nose. Great Build and Design. Ever consider drop "tanks" (batteries) for longer flights?

@JudeSchauer

Yeah, that would be pretty cool to drop the used batteries by parachutes. Might have to make a special no friction connecter for the battery though so it can slip out easily. This is exactly the kind of cool problem that I'd love to see FliteTest solve.

Needs some retracts, pretty sweet

Great that your Son loves this flying as much as you.

Love the history and the closeup footage of the actual airplane, this is so inspiring.

I love Josh's shirt but I never expected to see him wearing something like that on camera. Makes me like him even more.

Love you guys. Thanks for the video.

I love you guys watch you all the time and because of you I created a plane by myself (I’m under 11 years old)

Thank you for reproducing the greatest propeller-driven aircraft in world history. Ya, I love the F4U Corsair. I am 57 and I have dreamed of flying one or in one my entire life. Take the time to read her life history and you too will love her. I told my wife, years ago, that if I ever get the funds I want to build a replica full scale working F4U and learn to fly it. She said ok but she wants a Jaguar. Anyway, thank you. I loved the video.

I'm never tyred to see this video.. This is what I'm waiting to see as the corsair lover.. Hope you guys can build bigger than Jurgen Schonle build... Love this build so much 😍😍😍😍😍

These are a few of my favorite things, as well!

I remember when I went to airventure was the first time I saw a corsair in person. When I first saw it, chuck yeager was flying and and doing aerobatics, then he came in and landed and I was blown away at just how big it is!

Yesss! I've been hoping you would make this for a long time!

That’s great! I’d love to see you guys mark out a true to scale aircraft carrier deck and do a full launch, fly and recover “on deck” with arrester gear 👌

I love the Corsair. Beautiful bird. Nice job guys.

beautiful video with those fall tree colors

Awesome to get that much force on the wing spar. Would be wild to see that much force while flying inverted. Part of me wants to see how it holds in the upright orientation, though. Could also look into modular, medium infill 3D printed versions, with a standard center section, and wing behavior-specific wing nubs that attach.

I saw one of these still airworthy planes last summer in austria, at the Wolfgangsee, where it flew in formation with a P-38 Lightning. Went to see it after that at the Salzburg Airport Red Bull Hangar 7. Great plane.

I’ve been waiting for this video for so long!😀😀

Still would love to see you make a P-63 King Cobra with the motor in the middle and shaft driven prop. Also I think a giant H-1 Hercules flying boat would be awesome for next spring/summer when it warms back up. I'm sure you guys could build and get one in the water/air now but I assume you have other projects lined up till the end of this year.

I built a 73% scale from the original master series corsairs, with a 33" wingspan. The thing is a speed demon and looks gorgeous

You guys need to do a huge fpv airsoft battle with your new warbirds!!

The beam is calculated by second moment of area. This relates to the depth of the beam not the thickness of wood to make it from. This means you can be quite thin but have the bending strength. The only other loading would be the backward bending force when in a dive.

Such a cool plane.. was my favorite to fly back on air warrior 3 and aces high..

When y'all were showing the actual plane flying at airshows, it reminded me that the Corsair used to be my favorite prop engined plane, that is until I saw the Grumman Bearcat at an airshow. Holy Schneikies! That thing was the epitome of poison engined performance! Unfortunately, it came too late to the party and jets were coming into their own.

I think it’s stability is from the bend in the wings. Awesome design. I’d love to have a combination of a P47 with Corsair wings in real life.

FliteTest: Launches a new plane. Me: still can't finish FT Sparrow :D

Totally awesome.

awesome to watch

If you're looking for something to make it whistle, you might want to look in the automotive section of your local store. There are little plastic devices that people apply to car bumpers. They emit a whistling sound that is meant to alert deer to incoming traffic. You might be able to make a 3D printable varient that has slight tweaks to the geometry to get the right pitch. Another alternative is to look at what caused the whistle in the real world. If I remember correctly (it may or not have been this specific plane. I know it was some WWII aircraft) it was actually the sound of the air passing over the exposed barrels of the wing mounted machine guns. Maybe inserting some metal or plastic tubing in their place may get you that sound you're looking for?

The U.S Navy did not want it for carrier operations since it was tricky to land on, until the Fleet Air Arm showed how to do a curve approach.

Absolutely!👍👍 Yep the British Royal Navy probably saved the almost too radical design Corsair from an early grave in spite of its amazing high performance. What a shame that would have been!

@dogsbd

Not true, this is a myth. The Corsair was carrier qualified by 3 US Navy squadrons in early 1943 months before the British ever received any Corsairs. The reason the Corsair was not deployed aboard carriers at that time was due to an order by Commander Air Pacific stating "“In order to simplify spares problem and also insure flexibility in carrier operations present practice in Pacific is to assign all Corsairs to Marines and equip FightRons (fighter squadrons) on medium and light carriers with Hellcats.” It was purely a logistical decision.

That was the best flight I've seen at Redbull

I’m amazed companies haven’t licensed out the original plans for these iconic aircraft and made 100% faithful reproductions. If it was mass produced during the war effort, construction should be fairly streamlined so a company could specialize to recreate a few examples.

Looks amazing , flies great , glue a whistle to it just behind the prop to make it scream lol
