That is fixable, as in 15 minutes fixable. Similar break on my T-28 Trojan from park-zone and I had it flying again in minutes. Super glue works wonders!
Are doing it wrong. Just go have fun with it. That plane flies better than any trainer I have ever flown and IMO makes a wonderfull trainer so go have fun with it, remember your surface checks every time, and might wanna keep the cowl off till your comfy with the plane haha
Dont let these guys get you down, just looks like some servo reversing and wind or maybe just some bad luck. My advice is to get her up, level, and get her straight before an aggressive climbout like that. I'm sure the girl could handle it but for a first flight keep it simple. As for getting a Trojan, or sticking with a night vapor or any of the get this trainer you can't have a corsair bs they are all mainly pricks who think they are right all the time and if you don't do it a certain way you
Get the T-28, it's more docile and controllable for a first or second plane. Forget that cheap flight sim and go to an airfield with instructors that can teach you to fly and don't forget to get involved in the AMA for insurance coverage & liability purposes...
I think you just had bad luck with centering the GC, it liks like it was tail heavy and that;s why it did that.
I tried flying a mustang p-51d for my first plane and it flew ok for about 1 min before I crashed it, not bad for first time ever flying a plane, and it wasn't well balanced.
@xxsekoxx this was my second plane and I have never crashed it hard. If you are coming from a three channel to this four channel, make sure you try a sim first. Three channels with only rudder, elevator and throttle will not roll. A big mistake people make when transferring from three channes is that they allow the plane to get upside down and then don't know how to react. I beliee the corsair glides a little better than the p-51 so I would suggest the corsair. And it comes with landing gear.
A lesson learned. Thats too bad I think that a T-28 would have made a much better 2nd plane. It's a eaiser on the learning curve. Then after the T-28 try the corsair. To go from a supercub right to a fighter is a big step if one lacks the flight time on a good transistion plane like the T-28. I am sure by now your a much better pilot. Its all good fun thats how we learn. :-)
My buddy and I fly the hell out of this plane all the time just for kicks, it is great for days when we don't want to fly anything nice because of weather or when our RC trucks are trashed. Put everything else away and pull this out of the vehicle and have landing competitions and any other dumb crap we can think of.
He is used to flying a Super Cub which is a three channel plane. You can see he tries to turn it like the cub and all it does is want to roll. This is a good second plane. I actually started with the cub and moved to the corsair. Love it!
I recieved one of these and a micro p51 for my birthday, i have never been in rc planes, i can fly the p51 mustang pretty damn well now (1 new fuselage later) but im still not to sure if i should fly corsair quite yet, i will be borrowing a simulator this weekend, should i wait to fly or go for it?
I have just got this plane. and i must say that it looks really nice. my first flight with this would be tomorrow, the reason i bought this one is beceause i have a hobbyzone supercub that i can fly very well., But somehow this plane ( Corsair ) intimidates me. anybody that have some tips on how to get her up and flying in a safe matter?. i can see that the "fail" in this video is too much power on takeoff. so i think I will go a bit more slow first time. hehe anyway great video.
It is a fact that there is no substitute for experience. I have so many flights like that early on, esp with a new plane that is not trimmed in. You should see some of my wrecks, I have a pile on our site. I love the kids comments, thanks alot.
ok to let u know im 15 and i have this model and i have flown it at least 15 times since yesterday. u have to pull back on the elevator or else u will flip like that all the time. :)
this used to be my absolute favorite plane to fly, but then i bought the parkzone extra 300. If u have "mastered" the corsair, buy the extra 300!! im only 14 and i can fly it easily.
I take mine to a shallow hill say in a park , in to wind and leave the motor off and just test glide it, if it all goes well then the next launch apply power slowly and just ease her out dead straight and climb away, good luck , nice plane. so much to learn, but worth it ,.
This vid cracks my sh!t up!! I just bought this same plane yesterday and plan to take it to a free instruction session in a couple days. This vid scares me b/c the last time I flew a plane was an 1988 Electra glider - 6ft wingspan 20 years ago. The kids comments are hilaaaaarious!
@vladimir1206 -- The corsair CAN use the same two bladed prop as the t28 but because it's a scale model, the parkzone corsair comes with the 3 bladed prop. I have the t28 and it's a wonderful plane as well :-)
I have the Parkzone Corsair. It is my first 4 channel RC. The plane before was a skyfly 2(piece of crap). Anyway, I have only crashed the Corsair 1 time and I think its because I mounted the horizontal stabilizer to far back. This caused me to not be able to get a proper trim. I bought another one because it was way too damaged. This plane flies very easily, and lands real real nice. I have flown it over 15 different times and have never had a problem. No crashes, no broken pieces, nothing.
dont buy the corsair get the hobbyzone cub or something the corsair is to responsive to control imputs. and check your ailerons, make sure they agree with the direction on control imput
if that was balsa that would of been a disaster but it dident look all that bad but i supose i could only see1 side of it. hows it doing now u still got is after like almost 2 years lol i supose ur a pro bye now lol :D
Typical of the learning process. We have all done it and those who say they haven't are lying or not trying. was it reversed (ailerons). Did you find out why this happened? Take off more gradual with less stick movement and set your throw to low movement on your Spektrum, upper right control. Buy a simulator if already haven't and spend the money on that for the meantime instead of planes and time. Please visit some of my videos.
Oops. Looks like you didn't set the throws. This plane is REAL squirrely on high throws. Turn 'em down and she will be a LOT of fun. I LOVE my Corsair. And the trick, if you can afford it, is to order TWO cowlings and props - you won't have to wait a month next time. And as for balsa vs foam - I have both, but I don't walk away from a balsa wreck saying, "Engh, a little CA, no big deal."
@whodanigggabe why would you do that you can glue foam planes back together and even if it is totally smashed the parts are cheap compared to balsa parts
I can't figure out what happened, I have this plane and you had more than enough speed on take off, looks like the elevator was reversed on the first take off, like up was actually down... the second one is even more of a mystery. Just be really light on the sticks, this bird can really maneuver. gentle tap.
i really want to get this plane. The corsair is one of my fav wwII era planes, besides the spitfire. But I have only flown a mini cub so far, and have crashed..but the plane is so light it doesnt hurt it much..and is fun.
I think im going supercub next, then the corsair or the Habu at some point when money permits
the corsair should be an easy transition from a super cub or any plane really, you just gotta remember and be smooth with the controls, it looks as if you gunned it at full throttle, took off too soon, and crapped your self at the speed and panicked and did some squirmy whirly stick inputs
this thing will take off at half or 3rd throttle
let it take off with very little elevator and not too much power and you will be fine
With nearly a years practice on the Realflight simulator I thought I was ready with the PZ Corsair; needless to say.. I crashed and burned. Whilst waiting for the new parts I bought the Hobbyzone Mini SuperCub. Gr8 plane to practice on. Flying the F4U without any problems now! Stick to it!!
hey yep the corsair is not a plane for begginers !... if u want to learn RC electrics u need to get the easy star! it teachs u all the lefts and right of this hobby and once u have mastered it u can move on to something a little more challenging!.... but the easystar is in muy opinion the first plane all begginers should start with! my next door neighbor wanted to start and he chose the easy star without me even having to tell him and it worked out perfet then we added a brushless inrunner!!!
I will second that. This is my second airplane and I am a self taught pilot. During my first flight I flipped the high rates on. My second flight was in high winds. The plane flies like a champ.
I just got this plane, total beginner, and I was lucky, yes very lucky to have found a RC instructor and real pilot with 50 years experience. He took it really high, hell I was flying in circles and lost orientation!!! Its just a foam plane, but now I'm scared to death of it. If I hadn't met this instructor, it is clear it would be goner big time. looks like I have lots more training before I will ever have control of a plane like this!!!!
since I got a instructor I'll pass on the supercub, I' m getting a tw 109 this week because its cheap and I like the idea of flying the low wing style. But the corsair ain't going up without my friend on hand for awhile. I 'm hooked on warbirds.
Idk what happened but my parkzone spitfire (a while back) had reversed ailerons which i didn't check, didn't end well. Flew eventually though, i've now moved on to the f27c stryker :3
best of luck for future flights. o and check check check before every flight. i also find setting the trim to pull the plane up slightly helps alot on take off
haha. ive seen this many times, just be really delicate with the controls and dont even attempt a turn until your above the tree's. gives your plenty of time to correct any errors. also make sure you are using low rates on your first flights, taking off into the wind and dont fly if your too shaky and nervous
I have this as my second plane aswell its my first plane with airlerons and it had and ok maiden but what happen is i came in for a low flyby and i lost orientation and forgot what was right and what was left and it went in fast but it only ripped out one on the main landing gear and at the rear of the plane a little bit of foam came out but it glued back together and ill give it another go tommorow lol. Hopefuly no crahes lol
I had a similar problem. While taking off, it drifting left, so i put in right aileron and it went farther left and crashed. Its simple. Just switch the control inputs because it was probably inverted.
I agree. The grass was not the problem. I have several of these corsairs and they fly awsome. From the video it looks like a simple case of pilot error. The plane was airborn and climbing. Looks like you rolled it unintentionally or and then panicked. One thing you may want to consider is removing the stock motor mount and making your own out of plywood. I kept breaking the stock mounts. Now i use plywood and havent broke one since.
I agree with above. I have one of these. They fly amazingly and this is really my first plane. I did have another but really that gave me no experience (it flew off!).
The only breakages have been entirely down to my rubbish landings :)
i tried my first corsair flight this morning...did a hand launch and must have jolted the battery pack to the front of the nose as i did...the CG was thrown off and it nose dived. now i gotta wait a week for a new motor mount :S
I doubt the battery being to far forward was a problem. The battery compartment is designed in a way to make that almost impossible. I have several corsairs with bigger motors and batteries and have only noticed a slight change in CG. Maybe about 1/4 inch forward.
Ya know it doesnt NEED full throttle to lift off. In fact, you should take it slow your first time up because you havnt trimmed anything yet. It has enough power to climb strait up out of the box, maybe try just over half throttle next time?... and make sure your on low-rate. Just an opinion. Nice video.
The wheel would not do that.. This plane has enough forward momentum to keep it going if it hit a blade of grass. That ws pure pilot error, from what seems like too much turn, or reversed ailerons. Not a blade of grass.
I have this exact plane sitting wrapped under my Christmas tree right now! I am very excited. This is my first plane, I only flew helicopters until this corsair. I loved the look of it and couldn't resist. I have heard all the "nay sayers" about a poor choice for a first bird but WHAT EVER! that is what they said about my Trex 450. lots of sim time though (lots of snow and cold in Canada). good luck with that plane, you will get it no problem, you should post your progress on here
I started flying on the hobby zone super cub and now I just got this one for christmas. It is fantastic. However, I highly suggest you don't start flying on this plane. (I am aware that it is past christmas now, and you have probably already flown it). So all I can say is good luck! Hopefully the sim time will help.
where in Canada are you ? I'm from Montreal and should have received my by now but ups said I might have it friday. I plan to fly it on snow but it's a little too cold now. Hopefully next week temperatures will be milder ... If your close to Montreal , maybe we can fly together. I,m also building a hangar 9 corsair 60 with 91 OS surpass that I will fly this spring. Talk to you soon.
I think your CG is to far back and your airlons need some trimming. I love that plane. Im still learning but I really want that exact model eventually. Good luck.
keep flying that supercub you got laying there buddy... thats the bird i learned to fly on. by the way, it helps not to let go of the elevator control when you are 3" off the ground. I have to say though, first flights are always nerve racking for every new plane you fly.have it checked out to make sure its in top shape, then fly again. if you are friends with the hobbyshop employee, have him/her go flying with you to help you learn on a new a/c. happy flying!
haha im 12 and started flying when i was 9 and ive always loved flying. this is an expensive choice, but its what i started with. learn to fly nitro gas planes and then go to electrics. i now have my license and ima flying expert!
i went straight to the cub for my first plane, and i learned how to fly very fast from that. dont take too many babysteps when your learning to fly. i know i did, i went through two cubs then i went to the t28. baby steps cost you alot of money. although i must say i am quite a good t28 pilot. i think im getting the corsair for christmas
Nothing to worry about ive been flying RC planes scince the age of 12 and im 17 now and still crash them. In fact just today i was flying the parkzone mustang in my back field and i carsh because i was watching my bro landing and not concentrating. It's the worst thing to do taking your eye off your model, chances are everything will go very quiet and you know whats happened!
Was the elevator reversed to? On the first take off you came up then immediatly nosed it over. On the second it just went crazy. Looks like to heavy of a stick. I'm a noob but I still spend about 10-15 minutes a day on a sim. You can not spend to much time on a sim IMO. The movemets have to become second nature. I'm getting close to a T-28 and 4 channels. Get some vids up the successful flight...you'll get it going!!
Kids...10 seconds of joy and 30 years of misery(Gib...True Lies).
That kids comment was hilarious "Bye Bye Birdie" Nice these planes can be rebuilt isn't it? I have a J3 Cub and shes been through half a dozen props and has all new body (wing, fuselage and tail feathers, front cowlings.... lol I would be broke if it were a home built/nitro. Check out the 'Flycameone2' I'm going to post some footage eventually.
The kids had that reaction because we had 4 consecutive equipment failures on the modified supercub (the one you see a quick glimpse of in the video). Each one ended in a horrific crash. We spent day after day trying to track down what ended up being a bad solder joint on one of the leads coming from the brushless motor. It was just one of those "oh no not again" moments.
i started with supercub and went on to t-28 then a typhoon ,in this hobby you learn by your mistakes,take no notice of other comments and get practice,precheck everything,hope your plane is ok.fms simulator works a treat.
I finally figured out what happened. I had the ailerons reversed, my local Hobby shop confirmed it.
I've got 80+hrs stick time on my supercub (which you see briefly in the video), and this was my first bird with ailerons. I won't ever make that mistake again.
She's almost rebuilt - replaced the motor mount, repaired the wing joints, peiced together the cowling and picked up new airleron servos today-one of them stripped out in the crash.
Sorry to see you crash. Dont let peoples negative comments get you down. If you can fly the super cub, you will be flying the corsair in no time. I went from the super cub to the t-28 with no problems. It seems to me that you may have taken off too fast for your experience. Try 3/4 throttle for take off.
I would check out ClearView flight sim, don't know much about FSOne but have nothing but good things to say about Clearview. They have a T28 model (all models free once you pay for program) that flys just like the F4u - will get you up to speed quicker! I also second the CA comments, can be back flying that again in 5 minutes even if motor mount is cracked just epoxy it till new arrives - happy flying!
dang those 2 kids couldn't fly worth crap they piss me off and thats an easy fix once you get the parts just put some gorrila glue on wing shave it down and some sim practice
I've had similar damage to my Trojan while showboating inverted flight. Shouldn't be too hard to fix up and have flying again. I use E-flite CA and it makes a nice bond supplemented with clear packing tape. Concerning ailerons, they looked good to me in the video. Just remember with the SuperCub you can pull out of trouble and with ailerons you ROLL out of trouble. That was perhaps the scariest lesson for me to learn when I went from 3channel to 4+.
I think if the ailerons were reversed you would have oticed that right before she crashed seeing it went left and not right...also that may be to big of a jump for you..if i were you i would pratice more with the cub and simulator... why ruin a perfectly nice plane if you don't need to
Not sure if the ailerons were reversed... that'll be something I'll need to check. I've only flown the Supercub before and didn't think to check that. thx
did you have the ailerons reversed? when you give it right aileron, the right aileron should go up and the left down. don't look to bad,a bit of opoxy should be able to fix her right up. doese this use the same motor mount as the t-28, if so you could use one of them, or if the motor mount is just cracked you could epoxy it.
That is fixable, as in 15 minutes fixable. Similar break on my T-28 Trojan from park-zone and I had it flying again in minutes. Super glue works wonders!

And as for balsa vs foam - I have both, but I don't walk away from a balsa wreck saying, "Engh, a little CA, no big deal."

sorry about ur airplane,i have 2 rc airplane (cesna & Bf140) and all of it r foam planes,crush many times and easy to glue then fly again ;)

I can't figure out what happened, I have this plane and you had more than enough speed on take off, looks like the elevator was reversed on the first take off, like up was actually down... the second one is even more of a mystery. Just be really light on the sticks, this bird can really maneuver. gentle tap.

i really want to get this plane. The corsair is one of my fav wwII era planes, besides the spitfire. But I have only flown a mini cub so far, and have crashed..but the plane is so light it doesnt hurt it much..and is fun.
I think im going supercub next, then the corsair or the Habu at some point when money permits
bottle2lip 2 years ago
the corsair should be an easy transition from a super cub or any plane really, you just gotta remember and be smooth with the controls, it looks as if you gunned it at full throttle, took off too soon, and crapped your self at the speed and panicked and did some squirmy whirly stick inputs
this thing will take off at half or 3rd throttle
let it take off with very little elevator and not too much power and you will be fine

With nearly a years practice on the Realflight simulator I thought I was ready with the PZ Corsair; needless to say.. I crashed and burned. Whilst waiting for the new parts I bought the Hobbyzone Mini SuperCub. Gr8 plane to practice on. Flying the F4U without any problems now! Stick to it!!

hey yep the corsair is not a plane for begginers !... if u want to learn RC electrics u need to get the easy star! it teachs u all the lefts and right of this hobby and once u have mastered it u can move on to something a little more challenging!.... but the easystar is in muy opinion the first plane all begginers should start with! my next door neighbor wanted to start and he chose the easy star without me even having to tell him and it worked out perfet then we added a brushless inrunner!!!

I just got this plane, total beginner, and I was lucky, yes very lucky to have found a RC instructor and real pilot with 50 years experience. He took it really high, hell I was flying in circles and lost orientation!!! Its just a foam plane, but now I'm scared to death of it. If I hadn't met this instructor, it is clear it would be goner big time. looks like I have lots more training before I will ever have control of a plane like this!!!!

since I got a instructor I'll pass on the supercub, I' m getting a tw 109 this week because its cheap and I like the idea of flying the low wing style. But the corsair ain't going up without my friend on hand for awhile. I 'm hooked on warbirds.

best of luck for future flights. o and check check check before every flight. i also find setting the trim to pull the plane up slightly helps alot on take off
backwardsreaction 2 years ago
haha. ive seen this many times, just be really delicate with the controls and dont even attempt a turn until your above the tree's. gives your plenty of time to correct any errors. also make sure you are using low rates on your first flights, taking off into the wind and dont fly if your too shaky and nervous
backwardsreaction 2 years ago
I have this as my second plane aswell its my first plane with airlerons and it had and ok maiden but what happen is i came in for a low flyby and i lost orientation and forgot what was right and what was left and it went in fast but it only ripped out one on the main landing gear and at the rear of the plane a little bit of foam came out but it glued back together and ill give it another go tommorow lol. Hopefuly no crahes lol
spitfireMK22 2 years ago
I had a similar problem. While taking off, it drifting left, so i put in right aileron and it went farther left and crashed. Its simple. Just switch the control inputs because it was probably inverted.

clyde0830 2 years ago
I agree. The grass was not the problem. I have several of these corsairs and they fly awsome. From the video it looks like a simple case of pilot error. The plane was airborn and climbing. Looks like you rolled it unintentionally or and then panicked. One thing you may want to consider is removing the stock motor mount and making your own out of plywood. I kept breaking the stock mounts. Now i use plywood and havent broke one since.

I agree with above. I have one of these. They fly amazingly and this is really my first plane. I did have another but really that gave me no experience (it flew off!).
The only breakages have been entirely down to my rubbish landings :)

i tried my first corsair flight this morning...did a hand launch and must have jolted the battery pack to the front of the nose as i did...the CG was thrown off and it nose dived. now i gotta wait a week for a new motor mount :S
slapstik89 3 years ago
I doubt the battery being to far forward was a problem. The battery compartment is designed in a way to make that almost impossible. I have several corsairs with bigger motors and batteries and have only noticed a slight change in CG. Maybe about 1/4 inch forward.
aviatstudent 2 years ago
Ya know it doesnt NEED full throttle to lift off. In fact, you should take it slow your first time up because you havnt trimmed anything yet. It has enough power to climb strait up out of the box, maybe try just over half throttle next time?... and make sure your on low-rate. Just an opinion. Nice video.
stphndxtr 3 years ago

I've mastered this plane now and have already made it one of my favorite planes to fly.

that usually means that there is a problem between the trasnmitter and reciever and it's not getting complete signal.
First... rebind the two, then do a complete range check (that should have been in your original manual for the corsair).
cfwi 3 years ago
yes. the t28 and corsair share thier engine parts. Prop and motor mount are the same between both birds.
cfwi 3 years ago
Not usually.
It will cutoff if...
1. your battery is dead
2. it looses signal from the radio (which can occur if your batteries are low in the radio)
3. you put on the wrong prop and overloaded the ESC (it would usualy be followed with a smoking melting fire)

The wheel would not do that.. This plane has enough forward momentum to keep it going if it hit a blade of grass. That ws pure pilot error, from what seems like too much turn, or reversed ailerons. Not a blade of grass.

I have this exact plane sitting wrapped under my Christmas tree right now! I am very excited. This is my first plane, I only flew helicopters until this corsair. I loved the look of it and couldn't resist. I have heard all the "nay sayers" about a poor choice for a first bird but WHAT EVER! that is what they said about my Trex 450. lots of sim time though (lots of snow and cold in Canada). good luck with that plane, you will get it no problem, you should post your progress on here

I started flying on the hobby zone super cub and now I just got this one for christmas. It is fantastic. However, I highly suggest you don't start flying on this plane. (I am aware that it is past christmas now, and you have probably already flown it). So all I can say is good luck! Hopefully the sim time will help.

keep flying that supercub you got laying there buddy... thats the bird i learned to fly on. by the way, it helps not to let go of the elevator control when you are 3" off the ground. I have to say though, first flights are always nerve racking for every new plane you fly.have it checked out to make sure its in top shape, then fly again. if you are friends with the hobbyshop employee, have him/her go flying with you to help you learn on a new a/c. happy flying!

Was the elevator reversed to? On the first take off you came up then immediatly nosed it over. On the second it just went crazy. Looks like to heavy of a stick. I'm a noob but I still spend about 10-15 minutes a day on a sim. You can not spend to much time on a sim IMO. The movemets have to become second nature. I'm getting close to a T-28 and 4 channels. Get some vids up the successful flight...you'll get it going!!

The corsair is a great plane but if its one of your first Aileron warbirds put it back in the box and start out with another Aileron plane.

The kids had that reaction because we had 4 consecutive equipment failures on the modified supercub (the one you see a quick glimpse of in the video). Each one ended in a horrific crash. We spent day after day trying to track down what ended up being a bad solder joint on one of the leads coming from the brushless motor. It was just one of those "oh no not again" moments.

jabbaovbd4 3 years ago
I finally figured out what happened. I had the ailerons reversed, my local Hobby shop confirmed it.
I've got 80+hrs stick time on my supercub (which you see briefly in the video), and this was my first bird with ailerons. I won't ever make that mistake again.
She's almost rebuilt - replaced the motor mount, repaired the wing joints, peiced together the cowling and picked up new airleron servos today-one of them stripped out in the crash.
I'll be ready to try again this weekend.

Sorry to see you crash. Dont let peoples negative comments get you down. If you can fly the super cub, you will be flying the corsair in no time. I went from the super cub to the t-28 with no problems. It seems to me that you may have taken off too fast for your experience. Try 3/4 throttle for take off.
Good luck

I would check out ClearView flight sim, don't know much about FSOne but have nothing but good things to say about Clearview. They have a T28 model (all models free once you pay for program) that flys just like the F4u - will get you up to speed quicker! I also second the CA comments, can be back flying that again in 5 minutes even if motor mount is cracked just epoxy it till new arrives - happy flying!

I've had similar damage to my Trojan while showboating inverted flight. Shouldn't be too hard to fix up and have flying again. I use E-flite CA and it makes a nice bond supplemented with clear packing tape. Concerning ailerons, they looked good to me in the video. Just remember with the SuperCub you can pull out of trouble and with ailerons you ROLL out of trouble. That was perhaps the scariest lesson for me to learn when I went from 3channel to 4+.
emperor187 3 years ago
I think if the ailerons were reversed you would have oticed that right before she crashed seeing it went left and not right...also that may be to big of a jump for you..if i were you i would pratice more with the cub and simulator... why ruin a perfectly nice plane if you don't need to

did you have the ailerons reversed? when you give it right aileron, the right aileron should go up and the left down. don't look to bad,a bit of opoxy should be able to fix her right up. doese this use the same motor mount as the t-28, if so you could use one of them, or if the motor mount is just cracked you could epoxy it.
