My first RC warbird experience (& CRASH 😲🤦🏼♀️)
Спорт
In this video, I fly an RC warbird for the first time - the new 750mm (30") H-King F4U Corsair, which features Hobbyking's 6 Axis ORX Flight Stabilizer. I'd consider myself a "beginner-mediate" pilot and this model was a challenge for me, but definitely a step in progression for my flight journey. And yes, crashing is part of that!
A few things I learned:
- Don't throttle up too fast on take-off (or the model will torque to the left). Also would not suggest on a windy day!
- Hand launch the first few flights
- Needed some nose weight, so I ended up using a 1300 mAh battery (otherwise it might need some stick on weights in the nose)
- Don't fly too slow (or it may stall)
Spare parts should be available a little later in the spring according to HK.
Thank you to Hobbyking who supplied product for this review. Views are my own.
**Disclaimer: For the first release of these, the stabilizer that comes pre-installed will need to be replaced with an updated one, which will come included with your order.

Yes I kind of felt bad for her when she crashed.we all crashed from time to time that is all part of flying airplanes.. you keep on going girl .. to get good keep on flying don't never stop... Before you know it you're going to be an ACE!!
Ohhh.. Yesss! We love warbirds.. 😍
I can't get the smile off my face either! Everyone crashes, everyone... the more you fly, the more experience you gain, the bigger the smiles get. Always keep this in mind- when inverted, press the stick, not your luck!

they are called warbirds for a reason. When these things were built they were going up against the Zero of Japan. Very quick, Very, Very nimble and agile. The planes that faced them had to be on the same level. They were designed to be extremely high performance and that is why only our best pilots were assigned to this plane, the P38,P47,and, of course, the P51. They were NOT designed for unskilled pilots and THAT is why there were a lot more guys flying transports, bombers and everything else that was slower and less delicate. The fact you got it back on the ground after just a little wing rash speaks volumes. CONGRATS!!!!
Carrier landings are described as a "controlled crash", so nice job! Keeping a little extra speed especially in the turns is important in a warbird to avoid wingtip stalls. You'll get used to them, but they will always be a little more challenging to fly (except maybe the T-28 trainer). Have fun!👍😆
The dreaded tip stall! Unfortunately warbirds need speed!

Something like a Mustang or a Texan are a bit more forgiving, Spitfires have that huge eliptic wing, so they need less speed, but landing is harder imo anyway lol
The heavy "G's" got the best of your pilot! Just want to say thank you for your great, informative videos. And, yes, you're very easy on the eyes! 😊 Thanks again! Greg
as a RC Tank Guy I say: "Good Job" !! the Stabilizer Device is a good Choice for Beginners... Thanks for sharing... Greetings from Germany! :-)
RC Girl keep at it. You inspire many modelers on your positive disposition and enthusiasm. Yes, warbirds are impressive in the air. Maybe later down the line will be the challenge of a multi engine warbird!! You are so informative on your videos. Hope you are doing ok during this challenging period. Keep safe & healthy.
That's my favorite warbird . I totally enjoyed your reaction to the first time flying it. It was real emotion that some try to hide. That's what's so great about your channel. You did a great job landing the plane! Always, always enjoy watching your videos! Thanks again for another awesome video. Looking forward for the next one!!!👍👍👍✈🥰
Awesome video! Too be honest, most of us get super excited, just as you were. "But what if I fear?" "Go with fear anyway"
We learn by our mistakes, warbirds and slow speed live in different neighbor hoods ...the more landings the better we get... like the video.
OUTSTANDING YOUNG LADY!!!! I was smiling the hole time !!! GREAT FEELING RIGHT...!!! Great session keep it up it just gets better...!!! welcome to RC PILOTING...HAPPY FLYING ...!!! GOD BLESS...!!!
One of your best videos. Felt like I was waiting for the Space shuttle to land.

Great job. Smallish warbirds are tough. Fun video!

Third flight cool! Pappy Boyington would be proud!😃
I had exact same experience with war bird plane. Flipped over on take off. Two much torque. Fix was slow and steady to build up speed and lift. I also stalled plane going too slow on a turn. Broke nose all to hell. I'm flying bigger war birds now with better skill. This is a good video as it addresses first flight problems with broken parts. Thank you Haley!

Welcome to warbirds! It happens to all of us, I spun in a Bf-109 F a couple weeks ago and wrote it off.
I'm so impressed with your flights! You did great job flying it and landed it pretty good on your first time with this cool war plane! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Keep up great work, and stay safe! 🙌🏼👊🏼
My hands are sweating just watching you 🤗good job
Warbirds love Speed! Been flying for 20 Years... I get that same feeling every time I put a new bird into the air!
Nice flying! I really like how you are detailed and transparent in your video. We crash, learn and keep flying.
I know exactly how u felt, after I built my Trex 450 and got ready to fly it the first time, I had crazy butterflies in my stomach! By far flying is so rewarding!!! Kudos on your landing
You did good on the last flight, and good for you for showing mistakes and not editing them out. Very happy for you! The Petrincic Brothers never edit their videos and show that they crash often, even though they have a lot of experience in flying hundreds of different planes.
Wow. That plane is so cool. I was feeling those nerves for sure. Awesome video. 👊🏼
Third time lucky👍🏻 landed nice as well. Abit of paint and she be all good. Look forward to more warbirds from you 🤓
I came here bc of skipper from disney planes. Just found out what plane he was 2 weeks ago and the f4u corsair is now my favorite plane! 😁
That was fun to watch. I know that feeling. The first flight of all my planes, my heart was racing, and my legs started shaking. Lol. I love it!
i actually caught myself smiling with you that's the exact felling the will have you hooked for life. i have been there and could fell your excitement thanks for sharing
I enjoyed seeing you so nervous and excited about your plane and the experience! That is a big part of what makes things fun. Great coverage of the model...I want one now!

Great video!! You’re always so genuine. 😁
You learned quick how to fly this baby, warbirds are not very forgiving. I think it’s good to not only show what went well but also what went wrong in the video. Definitely refreshing to see a girl in this hobby !
Nice job! That's a beautiful plane, one of my favorites. Glad you 'got back on the horse', that's how we learn.
One thing I learned about crashes and R/C planes is it’s not “If” it’s “When”. Good job with a very informative video!
Great job And I love your never-give-up attitude
Thanks for sharing the good, bad, and ugly! It's refreshing to see actual experiences that most of us can relate to :)
The crash carnage and hearing about your nervousness were the best parts. :-) Good vid.
Good stuff !!! You really show the fun of RC !!
Great candid video, thank you for sharing. Flying new models for the first time is always a rush. Keep the videos coming! -Brad
its nice to see a non pro just learning to love the hobby. keep on crushing. your doing great kid
You're reigniting that RC passion in me again! Awesome video...thank you :)
Ms. RC Girl. We all are nervous on the first flight. Sweaty palms and heart rate overload. Don't worry about the runway rash on the plane. Adds character. Foam Tack is GREAT.
Great landing! And great video for someone like myself who is still a pretty new pilot and aims to also fly warbirds eventually.
Great video! Oh the nerves on a new plane lol every time. I’m Bummed you crashed but glad you showed them even more happy you fixed it and flew again when a lot of people would have just edited it out good job. I must say I am not into ground vehicles or drones that much but I do like your channel and appreciate you sharing your airplane Journey thank you and keep up the good work.🛫🛫👍
Awesome flying, well done! 👍🦘🇦🇺
Great example of the differences between warbirds and trainers; well done on the video.
Wow, it drops the left wing just like the full-size F4U. That's what I call "SCALE." Great job and third time really is the charm.
Great review and love the honesty with everything, no matter how many planes we have or how many times we fly them, this is the rush we all keep getting and looking for with this great hobby, what a rush right!!! Now get ya a 1600mm or bigger and see the smile and rush you get, and hey, with accidents, we learn how to model and build, hope to see you flying more, thanks for the ride👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
This was a fun one to watch. Great job!
Very well done Hailey! I know how much courage it takes to try again after successive crashes!
Haily, the comet would be proud!! :) Way to go RC Girl!! :) We all have to learn from our crashes and I'm a perfect example of it!!🥴 Big Thumbs Up!! Good landing. AirHammer out!!
This was the best video of a rc plane ever... Every landing is a crash be it controlled or not... I love the perseverance and passion to take on a warbird for the first time and win... My first experience was a micro mustang that ended with a belly landing under a car... Keep up all the RC awesomeness!
Nice job!! Crashes are part of the experience, especially with warnings. Great landing!
Awsome. Great job. I remeber how nervous i was the first time i tried to fly a plane.
Way to go RC Girl!! Well done, I would have been nervous too!!! Looking forward to seeing you fly again!! Man that baby really gets up goes !! Congratulations!!!! Doug
That was awesome, and found myself smiling and clapping on the safe landing. Good job Miss. New subscriber from Alberta.
Nicely done Grasshopper!
Great persistence! Attitude is everything.
Awesome warbird 👍👍👍👍👍👍 watching the video and enjoying it too 👍👍😎 AWESOME good luck RC Girl ❤️
Poor thing..,I felt your pain as she stalled and dropped! Good to see you persevered and made another huge step forward! Yaay for you.
Nice. That’s how we learn. Crashing and repairing . I love to repair my planes, it’s part of the hobby .
Great job RCGirl! I too am a relatively new flyer and get the jitters EVERY time I take off. I find that practicing landing for a couple of battery packs (with a lipo alarm) every time i go fly, it reduces the jitters substantially. Also learn to fly within 20 feet of the ground (below the tree line) on a consistent basis instead of so high you can barely see it and it will make you a more confident pilot. More flying videos please!
Welcome to the world of RC Foam! Good review and great to see ya continue. And no wingtip stalls please! Lol. 👍👍
It’s fun to see you this excited
Great flight and landing - you made it👍🍻
You did real well. Thank you for sharing
Nice flight! My first experience with warbirds ended up with my plane coming home in a bag lol! Keep it up girl!!!!
Just came across your channel! Great video.I can relate to your flying experience.Keep up the great work! Im subscribed.
Great video, it's great that you understood why you crashed and changed your flying style to suit the plane. 6 years flying and I still get butterflies on maidens
Great video! Just purchased 2 planes. Ready for spring! Happy flying!
Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. I'm still flying my first model , started in October. Waiting for the transmitter to fly my second. I patch it up and keep flying also. I enjoy your journey through your videos.
Your happyness makes me smile.
Congratulations Girl! Nobody told me that "War Birds" were harder to fly so my second flight ever was with a P-51D in beginners mode. It was fun and I was hooked.
Amazing job flying and landing that thing! Great video!
Great video 😊. Love how you refer to the nerves as a cat with a long tail in a room of rocking chairs 🤣. That sums up the feeling I get when I fly my plane. Definitely good to get that first trash out the way. I think it will give you more confidence going forward.
Well done....I could feel your exuberance and giddiness through the tube,it was wonderful.
My little Dude came loose!!! LOL fantastic video, I have so much empathy having done exactly the same “expensive maiden flight and crash” combo recently. Top marks fir getting back up there though and you have gained a new subscriber!
Really fun to see you overcome the pressure and succeed. I think your assessment of problem in the 1st flight was spot on.. you were flying a bit too slow and it tip stalled. But watching you get so super nervous but flying it again anyway was such a joy to watch. You two make a great team out there and I hope you inspire a lot more women and girls to get into flying RC..
It's the struggle to get it right, then the anticipation, and finally "I FREAKING DID IT!". That was fun Haley. I enjoyed hearing the emotions in your voice. :) Well done!!! I've been trying helicopters which I totally stink at but I'm starting to have some success so I know just how you felt. :) - Lauren

That was awesome RC girl, appreciate you sharing I watch for more, this is the beauty of the hobby
Good show. Awesome plane. F4U is classic. It needs speed and a lower glide slope. I have a BF 109 that’s the same scale. Haven’t crashed it yet and it’s tricky to fly. Speed is the key. I remember when I started. I lived in the Virgin Islands Saint John. It could take months to get replacement parts for some things. I taught myself and got others involved in gliders. We took to the slopes and it was amazing. Flying from my porch and catching my glider in my hand. The thermals were incredible. We had to hand build all of our plans because that’s all we had. I learned to fly with a Skeeter from great planes. . I had a net on a pole to catch them on tricky days. I think my favorite plane is the E-flight carbon cub giant scale. It’s fun size. I’ve got a bedroom full of planes. Would love to have a friend like you to share flying time with. Peace and love from tinytown, Colorado.
Nice, genuine video. Really enjoyed this one.
Great video and brings back many memories
Loved it. Congratulations.
Hi Hailey, "Long tailed cat in a room of rocking chairs", that was Michael J. Fox in The Secret of My Success. Nice build and I like your perseverance in spite of the crashes. Stay safe.
Awesome to keep at it, learn what went wrong, correct it and then have success!
I enjoyed ur rush and the smile through out the vid. You seemed exhilarated lol. I have the Mustang warbird but I've never flown it, mostly helis. Thx for the review
Outstanding....good job.🇬🇧👍😎
You did really great! You Learned from your mistakes which is good and hope you enjoy this hobby for a long time. It is lots of fun!🇺🇸🛫🇺🇸
