Best WARBIRDS In The WORLD!! E-Flite P-51 Mustang & F4U Corsair RC Airplanes 

The gull wing actually gave the Corsair MORE performance and was one of the fastest single engine prop fighters of the war. It was the first single seat fighter to break 400 mph. The poor performance you speak of was due to nasty stall characteristics on landings. They called it the "Ensin Eliminator" because if you got slow on approach and stalled, it would tip violently to one side. If you gobbed on the power to recover, the torque of the massive engine would be too much to control. Two things were done to correct this. One, a stall strip was added to one wing to help the wings stall evenly and the British developed a better circle pattern to land on a carrier vs the longer straight in the US was using. Anyway, the more you know, lol. Nice planes, even better flying. Keep up the good work!

You are incorrect on why the Corsair has a Galwing. You was to raise height because of the size of prop that was needed on that Pratt & Whitney engine

The Vought F4U Corsair has the bent wings for a number of reasons...but it isn't to save space for storage. Like all other WW 2 aircraft designed for carrier use, it has *folding wings*. The downward bend, or negative dehedrial of the F4U inner wings comes from the size of the prop, and the need to have landing gear long enough and strong enough to keep the prop as high as possible during landing and takeoff. Also from an aerodynamics point of view, the negative dehedrial makes an aircraft easier to maneuver because it has "negative stability". If you look at the wings of an airliner, you will notice that the wings in flight have an upward, or positive dehedrial, which gives it positive stability. That means that if the pilot lets go of the controls of a properly trimmed with proper CG aircraft, it will tend towards returning to level flight by itself. But when an aircraft has either neutral or negative stability, will be easier to maneuver as the aircraft will continue in whatever attitude it is in, and give control surfaces more authority which is what you want to a fighter. But too much negative stability, and the plane becomes unflyable...by a human. Some modern military aircraft have a fair bit of negative stability, and thus need the help of a flight computer to control the aircraft.

The Corsair had nothing but speed. Thanks for the fun. Blessings

The gull wing is because of the size of the prop on the real one. It was to large for a flat wing so the dip was created to help the landing gear be short and strong but give the height needed for the prop to clear the deck. But it's ok. A lot of people get it wrong one way or another. It is a weird plane. But beautiful.

That last P-51 landing,,AWESOME!!!

Yanno, we all have input on the birds...As we enjoy these videos...can we continue to be kind to both Nathan and Abby! They have NEVER been anything but kind to us as we enjoy their footage and maidens... Being mean to them over information disagreements...need not be so toxic... please keep that in mind...these two are great human beings...have a great flying day out there...Wheels Up 🛫🛫🛫

actually, corsairs have gull wings so that the propeller will not hit the ground during take-off or landing.

Hey Nate Great job flying those classic planes. I love watching them fly low & slow very cool. Would like to see those in my Hanger. Thanks

Late squad tonight happy flying all 😊😊😊⚓️⚓️⚓️⚓️

Gotta say Nate...your flying skills really started improving late last year, I'm impressed! 👍👍

I recently watched a WWII documentary that talked about the F4U. The seagull wings were actually to provide a mount point for the landing gear that would raise the body of the airplane. This allowed for a longer propeller, which provided more thrust. If you look at a picture of a real Corsair, it typically has a 3-blade prop which extends below the body and nearly to the a level even with the top of the tire.

My next plane is going to be the P51 war bird, I'm glad to see you flying it and demo it for me . Thank You and God Bless you all.. Been flying already today ..

17:25 is the best landing I've seen. Looked SO REAL!

Gota love the corsair 😊

War birds ,were designed to fly at the edge . With near instant and raw performance . Not for the light hearted .Or slow to react flight dynamics. They are my favorite planes. You guys made look easy ,great flight and camera work . Thanks again and God bless 🙏

Love the longer format. Keep em comin! Great warbirds. Great flying. And great camera work, Abby 👍

the wings folded for storage but the gull wing was for propeller clearance above the deck. they could not use longer gear because if they did the gear would brake on landing.

Nate you are a great pilot, but Abby i think your camera is like contacts you miss nothing, youre the best

Two of my favorites warbirds. I had them both by GWS back in the days 😎

Definitely one of my favorite videos! Thank U!!

Great to see so much love for the E-flite 1.2m warbirds! Love them all!!

Awesome Flying 😎 🤙🏼

The inverted gull wings on the Corsair were not there because the wings needed to fold for carrier storage. The are lots of straight-winged carrier planes with folding wings. They were there to allow clearance for the massive propeller.

The gull wing was to make a plane with a large prop to get everything out of the R-2800 Double Wasp but also short gear for carrier landings. It needed ground clearance for the prop and robust short gear.

I'll always pick the Mustang!! lol

NiceNate, Abby awsome camera, your the best

Excellent take off !!!

So far I've only flown micro/mini warplanes, i want to eventually get into flying the bigger ones like in the video but pretty much everyone says any and all warplanes should be flown by much much more advanced flyers. Now that more RC planes are offering better technology for flyers that want to advance in the hobby I'd like to know from you guys and the comment section if anyone just went head first into flying warplanes and got one as a first or even second plane. Was it as difficult as I've heard? Was it super intimidating?

Nice P-51 landing 👏👏

Nice flying Nate ! I am very happy that you went to Joe Nall this year. I have went myself about 6yrs ago and it was a blast. I think anyone that is in the RC hobby needs to go at least once in there life ; for me it was an experience that I will never forget. You need to give us fans a heads up if you plan to go again say next year because I sure would like to meet you and your wife. Love your channel, Love your reviews. Keep um coming. Awesome filming Abby !

Amazing flying and they look so real. All they need is some sort of sound emulator lol......oh and 30mm machine guns.

Great video thanks! I just got my first ever planes the Eachine 400mm Corsair and the p51 , because of your videos on them 🙏. They did not disappoint. Now after seeing this video I really want that Much larger p51 mustang, again great video and thanks you so much for all the work and effort you both put into this channel.

Both are amazing 1.2 warbirds 🙌🙌🙌🙌

What a GREAT Air Show!! Too many numbers for me to remember, but I do know pilots are all about numbers!! Thanks Saylors for the LONG video!! Get it?! If your vids are LONG, I'll just watch HALF of it!! 😂😂💟👍😘

I wouldnt even wanna choose. Eflite delivers again.

I'm not sure i agree with your historical analysis of the gull wing on the Corsair. It had it's quirks but in the right hands it was one of the most capable WW2 birds we had.

Pappy Boyington would disagree with you on the performance of the Vought F4U Corsair. LOL

Glad you got to go to Nall. I got this bird and the last 2 P-51s e-flite came out with. BUT, I changed it into a “B” model. Have not flown but turned out nice. Hope e-flite or someone will make a TBF Avenger about 1600mm WS with torpedo drop 😃👍🏻✌🏻🖖🏻

Great format!

Abby and Nate y'all rock! Peace

Would love to see you do some radio setups also, I know alot of people have difficulty setting up safe and as3x. Yes keep up the longer format.

I finally have my own Corsair and I love it

Nice landing, greetings from Mexico.

Great Job at the Nall one day i will attend hope to meet you one day Great flight too on these war birds .

Fun video, Slight correction? The corsair Gull shape wing was driven by the powerful engine and large prop. The inverted gull wing reduced the length of strut required for prop clearance. And yes, I picked up my elite corsair thanks to your last video and link.

links are missing. Are they discontinued?

I'd prefer to see it with the correct size prop. Great flying

Great video. Nate, your flying skills have improved so much since I first started watching your channel a couple of years ago. That P-51 looks like a bird I need for my fleet.

Hey Nate Friendly advice, I see at 9:46 you're using full rudder to no avail. If you give the plane a blip of power the slipstream will improve rudder effectiveness but won't cause enough speed for T/O. Always helps to think about prop slipstream VS control surface effectiveness from the extra airflow.

That last landing was very cool looking. 👍 Unfortunately I only fly off of grass [with my non-UMX planes] and have learned that retracts take a real beating doing grass Ops... So, no retract models for me. 😢

The t28 would have been cool in this video

That dive into landing is known as a tactical landing or Sarajevo Approach. It is a tactical approach (25º glide slope) that was designed to minimize the time an aircraft was exposed to small arms fire during operations into Sarajevo during the Bosnian War.

So i have the mustang in a 750mm configuration. Only it came from hobbyking. It's the "moonbeam mcswine " livery from the same fighter group . Made by toprc. And my friend has the Corsair in the same livery only its 850mm by fms. They both have spectrum electronics in them and they fly great. They also cost alot less too. Great video as always you two!!😊😊😊

Thanks for showing us these awesome warbirds! I would be interested to see you flying these with a 4S 3200 battery. I already have the P51 but can’t properly use a 4S 3200mAh because the canopy barely fits with it as it pushes against the back of the battery; the height of the 4th cell is in the way if you like to have a CG according the manual. I tried to fly it once anyways but the imperfect fit blew off the canopy of the P51 while I tried a full power pass :/

Hi, which one is easier to fly and especially landing? Thanx

Niiiiiiiiiiice!

Fun with warbirds. Always great flying & superbly awesome videoing. If warbird can't Harrier, get a Harrier so you can😊😊. Those cruising big birds in the background looked like buzzards. Up close I'd bet they would be as big as your birds.😮😮😄😄. ⚓️⚓️👍🧡💛💚👍😮😮😄😄😊😊👍⚓️⚓️.

How much expo and rates do you typically set on your warbirds

Any thoughts on doing a 6s conversion? I want to make it scream

are you using factory set on safe mode?

The Corsair was faster (juuustl and more maneuverable then the P51 despite being heavier... Not sure why you said the Corsair suffered from the wing being foldable?

Can you chainge the props?

What kinda battery would you recommend for a aeroscout s2 1.1m plane?

One of my Spektrum batteries is over two yrs old and currently has 47 cycles on it. And yet it still performs like new. Just curious, how many cycles can a Spektrum battery do?

got my Trojans and Corsairs!

Can the eflite a10 64mm fly in 4s using the dxs 7 channel transmitter?

I love my corsair 1.2mm e flite

I just watched your vid on the mavic mini 1 lol yeah 3 yrs ago but you kinda was hard on the range and the fact that your right next to power lines I bet that may cause inference...I have a video idea for you guys.. go back and revisit old vids and see how things have changed over the yrs

General person can fly as drone or take training

Se eu podese eu ia conprar un p51 desse ai mas parabens por apresentar os produto dessa inpresa

Longer videos would be nice.

Are this the 1.2 or 1.5m ?

Not bad for only 349 but I need to buy everything (batteries, charger, and transmitter) a a new guy starting out it’s about 1k to get going

Great video Nate!!! I'm new to the hobby. Looking for a Horizon Carbon Cub S2 RTF to learn on, but cannot find a RTF package one with batteries and transmitter included anymore. Any suggestions???

I usually purchase through Brian Phillips but I will start using ur links too...

NO, He is not incorrect, and you are not totally correct, you both are correct, a combo of designs for carrier use. The gull wing was to enable stronger, shorter beefy landing gear, as well as making room for the magnificent 13 foot prop, and of course folding wings are desireable for carriers, even smaller F-18 has folding wings. So, good job, you both are correct. Keep in mind, while flying planes, pilots use less words when it comes to history, even Corsair info on Flitetest video is limited part of history. Did you know that the US navy decided NOT to use the corsair on carriers due to not being able to see the runway when landing? It took the British to figure out the turning approach for successful landing before the US fully engaged the Corsair for carriers.

Yes if that's all you fly.

If the corsair didnt rock, why did so many zeros get wrekt? Murrica!🇺🇸😂❤🔥

I brought the Corsair flew it once and got rid of it, two things the drop tanks glue came unstuck in the the car with the heat and none of these war birds are any good for grass take off as the wheels are so dam small and in the UK I don't even know a club with a hard run way.

How about a shout out to our military pilots and ground forces on memorial day weekend. They are the reason we can do fun stuff like this. ????.

How good do u have to get with my rage rc mini war bird for it to be smart to buy one if these?😂

! 15 to 20 min is a good video unless there is more details. Such as expo and rates. Personal experience of dos and don'ts.

The best? If you use confirmed kills as a measurement of the best, then the best plane is easily the Bf-109.

You forgot the P-47

Also, did you notice the not scale prop on the Corsair in the video? It would b e about an inch longer : )

It's ME!! I'm #1 !!

Baa baa baa!

You never went into manual mode see that why I'm having a hard time trusting your jet vids I want one but then I watch this and I also watched the dji mini one vid.. And we know that's an awesome drone do it's hard for my to trust your new vids..I know your a very honest channel but you need to learn the product first that all I'm saying you didn't go into manual mode and fly it to it's true potential just saying sorry I'm not a hater

The Corsair from eflite has TERRIBLE landing gear! It is crap on a grassy field . The pin that rotates them breaks way too easy.

If it’s foam it’s not a warbird

Enjoy your videos and your obviously very good at this stuff but you know nothing about the history of these airplanes.

Nate's chuckle-laugh get on my nerves... luckily Abby is there to save the video... just kiddin Nate...

Hello there, my absolute FAVE RC channel! ✨🤗✨ I have a thought (OH NO!😯 THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS!) I often have youngsters with me as I enjoy the wonderful content you provide. Often, I find myself being bombarded by some young mush-mind asking me to explain something that is heard from your end. How about you think about making a video that explains to beginners, as in the 8-to-15... a bit older maybe... a SLEW of the things that we who are INTO the RC mindset already know, or perhaps SHOULD already know? Just NOW I am thinking of a phrase that we hear YOU, Nathan, say a TON: KEEP IT SCALE or KEEPING IT SCALE. Then there are good and BAD ways of maintaining your batteries. You could elaborate a bit more on this in that EXPLANATION OF THINGS I SAY VIDEO. I only mention this due to my often-having questions thrown at me by my charges I have running about. Sometimes I am lazy and want a break_ 😂🤣. My fave 'bird' is the CORSAIR... the one I flew for several years saved my life, so I am partial to all her sisters & brothers up there in the air and on the ground.

Video just right length. I love warbirds. Still don't think you need safe at all, with your skill after a these years.

Are this the 1.2 or 1.5m ?
