Flying (and crashing) the Parkzone F4U Corsair

This is a brief video of my last 2 weeks of "flying" my parkzone corsair. Several crashes and a lot of repairing only produced one really good flight and what I think is a great landing! Filmed with my iPhone 4, that's why the video size is weird, sorry. I was so frustrated after the last crash that I actually threw my DX5E and broke the 5th channel switch and the antenna off, not a good idea. Not sure if I'm going to repair it or not, I'm quite frustrated with it at the moment.

After the last crash, a large cloud of smoke actually started to come out of the motor, it didn't catch fire but it was a lot of smoke!

I'm very disappointed that I couldn't test the piggy-back release, after several tests, it appeared to be the best functioning design for a plane release mechanism.
