Very Nice. Great Flight. Glad you did tribute to the Black Sheep Squadron 🖤. One of my favorites of shows back then. Wanted to paint my 1700mm FMS model, that I have not flown yet, like to it with Marines on it. Thank You to your Dad for being in the Marines and service in the World War II , even though it is little late. I Respect and Wish I could have been able to say that personally. So Sorry for your loss of your Father. And in respect to you, Thank You for sharing your post of videos and thoughts and some history of your Flights and Builds, your Father and about the Black Sheep Squadron on which is not as well talked about and known after Pappy's being shot down. My Respect and Thank You to Those Who Served in the Black Sheep Squadron as well as ALL Who Served in ALL Branches of the Military 🎖️.

What a wonderful intro Adam. Live this aircraft. I have been twice to Iwo Jima, Saipan & The most of the Pacific theatre. I stood in a cruise ship during a memorial trip off Iwo with a US Navy pilot in full original WW2 uniform recounting how he was flying back from battle in a Corsair with zero fuel in the tank & made it ‘ on the smell if an oily rag’! I now fly various sorties in my Corsair on the Microsoft combat 2 Pacific WW2 & with the Arrows Corsair. A lovely tribute to your Dad. Great flying bro✔️✔️✔️🇦🇺🇺🇸

Very nice work with the camera and flight. I love how you told about your dad and the Corsair / Franklin history. (There is quite a bit of history about the brave deeds to save lives, and about how some had to leave the ship to avoid being killed. Sadly these were treated very badly afterwards.) I really liked how you flew through the maneuvers. Some will roll a plane about as fast as it can go, but I don't think that looks very realistic. I love the looks of the Corsair! Great presence in the air, and it looks great with those big old flaps and large diameter propeller. Great job with your 'scale' flights!

A superb and disciplined piece of flying, Adam... scale flying is my ultimate expression of this hobby and you do it to perfection. You *inspire* me to try harder. Equally, what a great tribute to the elite Black Sheep squadron, and to your hero, warrior, Marine Father.

Thanks man, that is quite the compliment coming from a great pilot like you. You are smoooooth bro. Believe it or not...that was my worst landing that day. I added a bit too much power on the round out and had to give up on the flare to just get it down and making friction to stop. I ate up too much runway.

Great history and tribute. I personally love scale flying, but that was Pro Adam. Great stuff 🫡

Great tribute video. Wow your father served in 1945@ Iwo Jima so many Marines and Soldiers lost there lives there. My uncle David lost both legs there. WWII was so costly in lives.The FL F4U-1D is on my wish list because its a 1600mm and should handle grass runways decent. Enjoyed watching

A fine tribute to our Fathers. Mine was a Marine Raider 4th battalion shot on Guam. It left him with wounds that haunted him for the rest of his days. Flightline Corsair is the most accurate one to date and you fly it with the respect it deserves. ( I have 3 ) Thank you and Heidi for your fine work. ............Semper Fi

Outstanding scale flight Adam. Noticed you took off without flaps, no? I do the same with mine, even on grass, as it allows it to pick up sufficient speed before getting in the air too soon. Exceptional landing, I've been telling everyone to keep speed up on landing as you did, touching down while level and it looks right and avoids collapsing the retracts. I land at 35% throttle and in 100 flights, still have the same retracts😂. Kudos to Harry's Revenge. My father was also in the Pacific.
