Nate: It's really easy, if it has fins it's a bomb, if not, it's a drop tank for extended range. And the Corsair was a fighter, not a torpedo bomber. 😉

That first take off with the Corsair into the setting sun, with a return, billowing clouds in the background, where crepuscular rays fanned the sky was beautiful.

You are the rare person who can crash a warbird and have no critical damage. That just doesn't happen. Awesome flight!!

In the korea war there really used these alot , they are disposable drop tanks put on for range , the corsair flys best naked with just 6 50 cal guns :)

That’s one tough bird! Corsairs being my all time favorite airplane, a few notes. They all need nose weight. Notice how it flew pretty good when the battery was crammed forward. With a 4 blade prop you have more “P” factor which is the torque effect from the direction of rotation of the motor/engine to the aircraft and the reason you need rudder input on the take off roll. Plus it’s a big ass taildragger, so it wants to ground loop. Dance on them rudder pedals 😂 or in this case stick. Corsairs will most certainly pull off inverted flight as well as aerobatic maneuvers. They were designed to dogfight Japanese Zeros. It takes a little bit of practice though. These inverted gull wing planes with forward vertical stabs fly like the real thing. They will stall and spin on you in a heartbeat. You can’t ever stop flying the plane. If it does stall and drop a wing, remember your rudder is the way out NOT your ailerons. Opposite rudder and down elevator until it begins flying again then you can pull up. Same as the real thing. Nice job overall guys!!!

Well said RC Hangar!! Thanks so much for tuning in 👍😁 Have a great weekend! 😎⚓️

I have always loved the look of the Corsair and the history behind it.The Corsair was the first rc plane I ever owned and flew and even though I love the plane I wouldn't recommend starting with this plane

This why I love this channel y’all show real rc the hood and the bad we all learn from mistakes

I used to fly the "Royal" Corsair.Big wooden model with a 60 size gas engine, Mine was an F4U-1 and yours is an F4U-4. Great flying and the thing of it is that these models fly like the "real" thing, so there are some things that these can and will not do.

You lucked out! I really enjoy your videos. I remember when I was a kid...about 10 years old. My parents bought me a Cox .049 control line Corsair. Not long after Christmas, my Dad and Grandpa took me to the local school parking lot to fly it. I wanted my Dad to fly it first...Things didn't end well. He got around 1 complete revolution, then did a wingover after Dad got dizzy, and it slammed into the pavement at full speed. There wasn't much left of it after that. :-(

Had the exact same experience with my dad at my local school, mid to late 80's 🤣

I can't believe how much better foam planes hold up to crashes than the balsa planes I grew up on!

Something I think you should remember is that with safe on or not in order to get the plane to trim you can not do any inputs for at least 3 seconds after the trim commands. The trims will not take affect if you do anything with the sticks . I've always got the plane high enough to not worrie and do my trim and count one thousand, two thousand and 3 thousand before touching the sticks. You will notice then that the trims will take hold immediately. But if you touch the sticks before the 3 seconds you do nothing when you trim. Thats the way it is with all spectrum recivers.

As a "Scale" guy I love when you all do warbirds. Still amazed that crash didn't cause more "issues". Even the "change" in CG due to the battery slide didn't seem to be a negative (but maybe that's because of pure pilot skill). The "Big Guy" was certainly looking after you today. Yes Abby, tornado's can do crazy things...I've seen lots of photos of blades of grass embedded in or "through" actual wood boards.

I LOVE Mine. Fully decaled with Marine insignia's. VMF-214. Pappy Boyington's F4-U. They are Drop Tanks. I removed that Safe Mode Receiver. Fly's like a dream. Hauls Azz.

I can't believe that bird survived that hit. Impressed !!

Wow lucky lucky, so happy the plane is ok

Nate...Lucky, Lucky, Lucky!!! Corsairs were tough in real life too...many survived combat against skilled and accurate pilots... They look like fuel drop tanks, carried fuel to extend range and flight time... Please don't fly into Abby, she might drop the camera! 😂😂😂

Nice! I like it. SAFE is great if you have a three second warning things are going to go amiss. Wide hammerhead is a wing over.

I bought mine days before they announced the 4s one. Still flies great though and with only 3s available to me it forces scale flight. oh, and Comander has relegated my Trojan to second go to plane 😊

Just ordered one from from your link, gotta support your channel and all the content you share with us. Thanks for introducing my family and I to the hobby! Both of you Rock!!

Lucky having an almost damage free crash. Tall grass really helps cushion the impact.

Wow, that was some crash. AMAZING there's no damage. Worth buying just because it's tuff!

Fantastic! That bird is as tuff as the original. Super vid 👍👍

Amazing that it survived with basically no damage. Good selling point.

You guys have given our little airport a second lease on life. Just doesn’t see that many planes until now

Tall grass is your friend...absorbs impact even if it impales your flaps. Abby's loosening of the landing gear exercises saved it from snapping off. Excellent scale flight Nate.

awesome plane and flight,pretty tough for that crash

OK- that’s pretty awesome that it didn’t break! All of a sudden I need one of those! It seems gravity is VERY strong where I live…

Hey Steve, you sure it didn't have a "SUPERMAX Crashproofing kit " already in it. 😃

after a crash its a good idea to check servos,linkage under the hood ...CG etc... one thing can be out of wack you miss and another crashy... ask me how i know this...

There is nothing I love more than to hear Abby gasp from behind the camera and say "what did you deeuuuu!!!" Nate, really nice scale flying. Very pretty. Be proud- you walked away from one of the scariest looking crashes I've ever seen! Be well guys :)

Nice nate that's the hardest plane to take off and land when you get good at it everything else is easy and it's always nice when they survive the crashes if my planes could talk I'm sure they would be saying oh no it's him again🤣

Wow totally fine after the crash . " Awesome" Nice aircraft. Great job.👍😀

Great flight ✈️! Battle scars on the plane but it survived! Iron grass in your area!

Yes abby a pine needles,stiff grass,etc..... will impale trees and other things In strong tornados. I know that sounds ridiculous to some ,but you have to remember the energy is distributed through the entire pine needle. That is why they say not to play outside even if it's a safe distance because the wind can/will turn numerous things into small missiles. Be safe and Godspeed my friends.

Any Landing you can fly away from is a great landing. Now that's entertainment 🤣. The Meek shall inherit the earth, and the earth will impale your Flaps with a blade of grass

I think the tall grass cushioned the crash. Amazing a blade of grass puncturing the flaps.

for anyone that have not flown a corsair. they stall at slower speeds due to the gull wings. so, you do want to get the tail up and build some/not alot more speed before take off. And flaps on landings... thx for the video

The coursair is my favourite plane, built a big balsa wood plane when I was younger. Still miss it. What is the price

Cool plane, looks nice and scale, flies well and survived that hard crash⚠️😲👍

those are exterior fuel tanks to increase the flight range for deep enemy territory missions

looked like an accelerated stall, very common with warbirds when you get too slow during a maneuver, especially at the top side of a loop when you don't have enough speed.

I lawn darted mine with minimal dammage. These are really tough planes.

I think that that last minute hard nose down while inverted saved that thing from coming in unsurvivably steep. Tough plane .

CORSAIR my FAVORITE Warbird!! Very durable AND LOVE the CRASH!! GREAT job Saylors!! 💟👍😘

The beautiful sky and sunset made a terrific backdrop.

I can’t believe they didn’t know the flaw of the inverted gull wing,they stall if you do something with rolling like a Canopy roll.

It was not the flying, if that was a P-51 it wouldn’t have crashed due to the wing stall

The Corsair is my favorite plane of the single-engine war birds and the p-61 black widow is my favorite of the 2 engine warbirds.

Unbelievable! Self-repairing gear! Amazing and WONDERFUL you were able to fly her again immediately. Awesome Saylors! 👍👍

OMG the sky in this video looks so incredible.

To not be nervous when flying do I just have to get used to crashing and fixing before I can get more comfortable flying? Love your videos!

Awesome. She’s beautiful and rugged. Just like the real thing. She just needs some lights now.

Everything aside - WOW look at that SKY! It's beautiful :D

That is an impressive tribute to its ruggedness. The real Corsairs were known for being a rugged plane as well, so it is truly scale in that asepct as well!

I have both the Eflite P51D 1.5 and the corsair and its their wing loading. If doing that lazy slow barrell roll which is very cool to do, you need to carry speed with it. You hit the nail on the head by saying you are used to the cubs and high wing planes those have alot more wing loading. War birds especially the P51 have alot of torque or P-factor and you adjusted for that quickly on the Corsair. And yes its a tough little bird I have had more than a few hard landings on the gear and it has stood up. I fly off of grass and it not always very manicured. BTW love you guys. Both of you are a great team.

I don't need it🤤I don't need it🤤I don't need it🤤 I NEED ITTTTT

3:21 it is said, and was shown in many movies, that the Japanese saw this sight just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They saw this as a symbol of good fortune because of the resemblance to their flag. I think you should line the port side of the plane with little Japanese flags and put the name Maj. Greg "Papy" Boyington above the flags 😅

Wow! Such great detail in some of these RTF/BNF foam models; which was unheard-of years ago. It hit a a decent speed, I'm glad it did that good; I sure you was in Acro mode. Thanks!

Nate, did you and Abby have to pass a test in order to fly solo at the club? If so how stringent was the test?

What are you guys talking about? What I see is a hole from a 20mm cannon round. 😊 P.S. Great flight video.

love that plane

I don't know if your radio will do it, there could be a timer for the flaps to slow the flap deployment.

drop tanks? is the prop scale? seems that part is smaller than scale would be for 13ft (abt 1/3 the wingspan)

I crash my plane: plane not even recognizable... on fire and in 3000 pieces He crashes his plane: "Ah man a blade of grass got in the wing!" -.-

Beautiful plane... This is definitely getting added to my wish list. I saw that it comes with the "Marines" stickers at the Horizon Hobbies page. I'd would prefer it with the "Navy" sticker set, if that is an option. My father is retired U.S. Navy.

I bought an older version without safe with an ar636 receiver, as i am a new flyer i would not take it up, when HH rereleased it, I bought the receiver and esc that fit the new one. I programmed it and tried it, I crashed it once hardcore but rebuilt it and I reprogrammed it properly and love to fly this Bird.

Because of the title i was holding my breath waiting for that crash. Im so relieved it wasn't too damaged or disabled! Don't buy a lotto ticket today, you've used up all your luck for the day!

Nice guys!

These planes need speed..in turns especially....and not tight turns...if not your going to stall and wing over...speed,speed,speed in turns..and fully charged batts ...especially if your flying low and doing tight turn manuevers .....this design is famous for tip stalls...STAY HIGH....and stay away from radical moves when your at the end of battery time...or you will be replacing your plane...imagine no power when your esc cuts it off when cells drop voltage below a certain set point.... this happens all the time !!

You're not wrong about this airframe design and tip stalls. I flew a 400mm Eachine Corsair and it top would want to tip stall if you tried to slow down and/or try tight turns. This thing needs lots of speed and altitude!

I had an older version of this plane and stupidly decided to fly it on a foggy morning. You can obviously tell what happened next….

i saw a fat tick on the wing check yourselfs

15:18 That might be why they call it a Blade of grass! You’re lucky it wasn’t more damaged!

I can't believe the results of the crash! Amazing!!

That’s actually pretty impressive considering my UMX A-10 split in half on a nice soft Landing. Hot glued it back together and then did almost the exact same thing you just did, but canopy down. Split fuselage in half yet again in a different place. Another 20 minutes some hot glue had it right back in the air.
