Jeff Quesenberry's 1/3 Scale F4U1 Corsair

This 13' Corsair was powered by a 24 HP twin cylinder Husqvarna and weighed 90#, so it required annual AMA certification flights. This flight is one of them. It was flown more than 50 flights before it was involved in a mid air collision and was destroyed. Construction details and photos are available on RCWARBIRDS.com

The engines used have higher RPM'S. Scale props will not work at these higher revs.

It really was a great plane. Jeff does a great job flying. I have seen him do many maiden flights and he always make it look easy. Great builder too.

Jeff,,, Build another,,, I never got to see it fly in person.

Or maybe build something with an easier wing, so I can see you maiden it next spring.

Beautiful plane, loved it. You guys are also very lucky to have a field like that, too.

Notice how easy the pilot makes it look to fly that thing. That is because it is easy to fly such a large size r/c airplane; bigger is better when dealing with a flying machine dealing with air/gravity physics. That r/c Corsair has large wing area to provide plenty of airborne lift comparing to smaller aircraft! HOPE THAT HELP!!!

With less moving parts than that of a full-size a/c engine which spins about 8,000-10,000 RPM, an r/c airplane motor (even a weedcutter motor for that matter) spins very fast, as fast as 17,000 -19,000 RPM; at such fast speed, it takes less propeller blade shape and size to "cut" through the air; if a scale-sized propeller is used, the engine would need to work a little faster and harder to swing such bigger prop; and it can cause damages to the engine...
