Nitroplanes Airfield F4U Corsair 1430mm FMS RC Airplane

My Maiden flight of the F4U Corsair 1430mm by Airfield which I got from Nitroplanes on April 16th 2011..

This is my maiden flight of this large sized F4U Corsair. This is the first time I'm flying a plane of this size and I have to say I was a little intimidated at first. Once I got it up in the air though it was amazingly stable. It flys so nice and the sound from that prop is awesome to say the least!!! I had to reduce the volume of the background music just so you can hear what im talking about in the vid... This Corsair is super detailed and is very attractive. The retractible gears are so cool its one of my favorite features! With the plane I got 2 Sky Lipo 3000mAh 14.8V 30C 4S Batteries and I also got a small mini cam to try to capture some FPV video as you can see... I had to put a little clip in for fun!

If you're interested in getting into this hobby my recommendation from my own experience would be to use a simulator and find a trainer that can easily be fixed (you will crash a time or two when you start learning)...I personally used the Flyzone Sky Fly Max from Tower Hobbies... great plane to learn on and you can watch a clip of it in my videos... Once you get comfortable with orientation and the controls you can easily move to more intermediate planes. For a radio I used my Futaba 6EX 6 Channel 2.4GHz. Thanks for watching!

As always thanks to my awesome wife for video recording!

What camera did you use with the plane?

Does your wife fly too? If not , get her on the simulator and start learning so she can fly and get addicted too!! HAHAHA! :)

[diceman94]

@davidcsage nah she doesnt fly... just helps me out and takes video :)

No, what's freakin' cool is to have a wife/ girlfriend/ sister that's into your hobby. You're very lucky dude.

[diceman94]

I loved the landing part. I need to paint the underneath of my 800mm corsair coz I lose ordination of it when it's a bit far n causes me to crash.

Nice flying! Look like you've flown a bird or twelve before, LOL I must agree with your assessment on simulators, from personal experience.

I've crashed 4 Dynam A-10's before I decided I need "practice" :0

I got my wife to do video's as well and she's on her PC learning to fly on the RealFlight G4.5 simulator now. She's taken a liking to the F4U as well but, she'll get a smaller 800mm version when she's ready to try her hands at RC flying...she'll also learn to built it too.
