I have a small scale F4U Corsair that does the same thing on landing keeps on rolling. Unfortunately being a "sport scale" model it doesn't have flaps so it's a pain in the butt to get it to slow down.
Counted 5 youngsters in all that crowd. Sadly the hobby isn't going to survive much longer. Our club has a yearly Try and Fly event for anyone wanting to learn. 15 at most and those won't come back.
I would use full flaps on landing, to slow down more, use an "idle down" on your radio, to get your idle lower for landing, and maybe a lower-pitch prop. Maybe a 28x10 Falcon CF, instead of the 26x13. That will also help slow-down the landing. VERY nice plane -- hope you fixed it.
It certainly wasn’t a top stall. If you are flying cross wind. You need to fly with increased speed. If your airspeed drops the solution is never bang open the throttle as you introduce a torque element. But it is easy to be wise after the effect. Basically set up for a cross wind landing when you enter the pattern. Get a plane you do not mind damaging and learn the art as it requires a different feel.
Is there any particular reason for the 26x13? I'm not a warbird flyer but I have a DLE 120 and its running a 28x10, that should help for a slower approach
@@emilioriesco3759 The person I bought it from had a sufferer prop on it for its maiden flight and felt it was under propped, so he went with the 26x13. I just kept out the same.
I almost always fly in low rates which are on one switch for all control surfaces. I rarely use less than 75% for low rates unless it's a 3D plane that has huge control surfaces. I set the expos to 1/4th or 1/3rd of whatever the rate is. If the dual rate is 100% and the control surfaces are small, I'll use 25% expo. If the surfaces are large, I'll use 33% expo with 100% dual rate. Since my right hand is usually busy flying, I use the switches on the left side of my transmitter for retracts, rates, and flaps. My throttle cut is on the right side because I never flip any switches on the right side while I'm flying.
Start with the plugs that do work stuff,first, then leave the unknown for last, it will work out better that way. Nice model, as I put my planes nose down, my dog tails were the whips that could do damage. So they live in their Own room.
Good to see that the runway still has grass growing out of it, The leadership is still showing that they just want the money and not maintaining a thing.
I don't think that's true. It's taken a long time to save up for a new paved runway, which we believe we'll get this year. On our field cleanup day, it was too hot to carry around the torches to burn the weeds. Looking forward to the new runway.
Very sorry, that was a nice touchdown but you hit the downslope and just did not slow down. I had a landing with a YA Spitfire and had the same issue. We thought it was down and safe and a full elevator pull got me back into the air JUST above stalling speed.
@@dansplanes4112 We learn the hard way. I learned not to fly a full flap landing in gusty cross winds when my PT-19 got hammered by a 90 degree gust and flipped upside down mere inches from touchdown. Fixed the plane using 15 minute epoxy and donated balsa and ply during the overnight and flew it again the next day in the same conditions, half flaps and more speed. No issues! Rebuilding is part of flying unfortunately.
@Whitpusmc Yeah I crashed my giant P-47 (vids is on my channel) when I used flaps on a high crosswind day. It tip stalked. Instead of using the rudder to correct, I used rudder and ailerons. I have it full throttleand did an Emmalmen. At the top of the maneuver, it snapped and went full throttle into the ground. Learning giant scale warbird techniques can b brutal.
@@dansplanes4112 ouch, just went and watched that… I’m impressed. If I had film of some of my crashes the film would be buried in a hermetically sealed container and smuggled aboard the first ship to Mars… 🛸😅 your sharing helps us all improve, or realize we have all been there.
@Whitpusmc Thanks. That's the point of me being an open book. I don't post normal everyday flying because that's boring. So people might get the impression I'm always crashing, but I do more flying than crashing. From the comments I get, I hope it helps me and other folks. Thanks for watching!
That's pretty cool, you don't see too many P-61's around, much less with working speed brakes! Interesting to note is that those speed brakes were only found on the P-61C, Northrop found that they overstressed the wing structure in operation, so all of them were bolted down and disabled. They were all flying with them taking up space and adding weight in the wings, but they were never used.
The experienced giant scale, gas fliers at my club thought the idle was ok however, many people in the comments think it was high. It's probably a combination of high idle, aggressive prop, diving to the runway and the airstrip having a down grade. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have flown mine and it was a handful, nearly lost it. I found out it was nose heavy at the front CG position and adjusted the batteries to balance at the rear CG position. It flew much better. It is also important that the plane of the rear propeller be at 90 degrees to the horizontal stabilizer. Check RC groups for more information.
Maybe it's just the camera but, you seem to fly so far away. This airframe will actually fly very slow final approaches. Warbirds are so slippery. I throttle back on the downwind leg. Keep you're turns mostly flat.
