Get that Corsair back in the air. Climb and get more altitude before you do anything. That gives you lots of room for error while you get more comfortable with the plane and try some aerobatics. The best advice I got was to keep "3 mistakes high". That has served me well, along with an ample supply of foam-safe CA. :-)
be careful about having your airplane on with the transmitter hanging around your neck and the prop so close to your arm. your body could push the throttle stick up and your plane could start exploratory surgery on your arm.
Nice first recovery! I like the "Pilot Puke" comment. Very funny. Oh by the way Bro; be very careful with holding the airplane towards you. I did the same thing one day and nearly sliced my wrist when I accidently advanced the throttle. I was checking the motor mount for a similar crash and the prop rotated quick enough to scrape my wrist. Just a thought. Take care and happy flying. Godspeed...
@gosargedotcom Thanks for the comment. That was my first r/c flight ever. I havent flown that plane again yet......but I'm slowly getting better with my super cub.
Damm... looks similar to the crash that I had with my corsair on its maiden flight!! Broken motor mount, and obliterated cowl & prop. And this was after 1.5 years of simulator experience. Ya can't prep too much for the real thing... I'm 100 % better now. Gr8 attempt & keep trying!! Cheers from "down under" :)

a bent shaft is the least that could happen

Push your thumb toward the wing that dips to level it out, don't try to think backward or this will happen....

He he, The F4U was plane #4 for me...
excellent plane, I hope you have better luck next time.
Is this the first aileron plane you fly?
I really liked the comment on the video "The flight simulator never did that! :) ..." Very very funny
