Eflite - F4U-4 Corsair V2 - 1.2m - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden Flights 

Wild cat

It's still available here in the UK.

YES!!!

And a f22

Glad you enjoyed it!

You're welcome Ken, and thanks!

Good choice! Enjoy!!!

Thank you very much!

thank you!

Glad to hear that - Thanks!

Awesome, and good luck!

Glad you enjoyed it!

oh yeah!

Megan is the best!!! Thanks

Very cool! Maybe we can fly together sometime? Hit me up in the email (About tab on our channel)

Thanks for buying this beauty from the links!!! If she keeps buzzing, see if you can OVER-DRIVE it for a second, then back it off...if it stops buzzing, then it's just a foam joint stress, that will word out over time. You can unclip the flap and work it up and down a few times to help too, if this seems to be your issue.

You're welcome. Love them too!

No, uploads take us DAYS...sometimes more than a week.

@@BrianPhillipsRC wow, that’s not right. I give you credit for being so patient. Cray-zay!!

yes!!! Awesome - go for it!

It sure does!

thanks Seth!

U won something?

The Arrows does require more fiddling to get it flying nicely ;)

WOW!

We love it! Thanks ;)

Thanks!

Thanks Tim! We've been able to move past that terrible period and work on some other areas of needed improvement. I go back and watch old footage and it's terrible!

Cheers, and thanks!

Felt like watching this again this morning and just a reminder to people of the 3 R's for flying off grass. You can't have a "Rutty Ruff Runaway" 😂

Totally gorgeous! Love the turning mains!

Thanks!!!

Thanks Glen!

Unbox lol

Thanks Shane!

thanks GBro

You can get in the air, but you have to be super careful about the speed with which you add in power...this is a tough skill for the newer RC pilot. We want to keep the long format for now, and hope to keep support of our amazing audience ;)

Thanks Kevin! If you put your mind too it, you can do it...just takes a lot of time and putting up with repairs (I still do all the time - LOL)

Nothing wrong with flying in safe indefinitely! This hobby is about having fun, and if fun for you is staying in safe all the time, then do that!

@@based_will I just got discouraged because you are right! It was fun. However, doing those cool rolls and loops looks super fun too but I didn’t ever want to ruin my planes.

@@kevinuranga7581 what kind of planes did u have?

@@josephpuzzo1 Cessnas, p51’s, Trojan t28, The original Cessna 150 (huge plane) and a little kimber. Went through like 3 or so Trojans and then I sold off all my other planes.

Thanks!

I think that's a great idea!

NICE!

AMEN!!!! Been asking for years, and FMS is only ones who put one out

I set mine up as you did. Everything works great , very nice. Something weird. I'm not experienced enough to figure it out but when deploy my flaps , they fully extend and stop. i hear a slight sound coming from the flap servo area kind of like they are still running. Even though the flaps are all the way down. Do you know what would be a common reason for that to happen ? I checked my flap settings on the nx8 and they are all as directed. I'm just lost cause it really flys great.

This means you might be OVER-DRIVING them into the foam, possibly colliding with the pieces of the wing where they extend out? If it's LOUD, you should try to slightly back them off in the FLAP menu, OR you can try to work them even further by millimeters...you know, just bend them DOWN just a bit more, then let go...VERY FAST...like 1 seconds or less. Both flaps. If you do this too long, you might damage the servos. If this doesn't work...just set them to LESS deployment and see if it helps. Also, if it's real quite, it might just be the hing material isn't really broke in just yet. "Exercise" the flaps a bunch of times, if you're concerned...RUN them up and down about 100 times and see if the noise stops, or lessens. Give this a shot, maybe 3 minutes of work here, and let me know what you find. Good luck! Welcome to RC, this is A part of the learning experience. "It's all part of the show", as they say, and you too, will need to start to do this type of troubleshooting, so we're honored to help!

If you have better grass than we have, you'll have a very good chance at success, but as with any grass ops, a 1.2m is pretty close to as small as you'd want to use.

@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks

Have you flown it with the 3s 3200 yet? How much does that battery weigh? Thanks

Good luck!

I've heard some back and forth on the GREEN....I hated it at first, but now I've learned to like it ;)

Thanks!

Funny you should say that, the GREEN was a huge point of contention for so many people ;) I kinda grew to love it, but so many HATED it :) LOL!!!

@@BrianPhillipsRC well Brian I maidened my modified Corsair today and bloody hell it's a rocket! The BL15 kv1050 motor made it so quick! Shame they are hard to get. Had to ship mine from America to UK. Yeh I like the green and white it helps with orientation and takes away from the "plain" look.

Don't be a "one and done" - get back up and do it again ;)

Thanks Gary! We appreciate your support, and glad you found the issue!

thanks! I love the 1.2m side too.

It's a beauty!!!

I agree👍👍👍👍

It seems there's no way to please everyone.

@@BrianPhillipsRC that’s for sure :) you’re doing an amazing job either way 👏🏻

We have been asked before and don't have any plans to do this.

I should have done this on mine!

The EFlite choice is better, in this case. Arrows makes a great plane, but this one is a no braner ;)

@@BrianPhillipsRC 👍👍👍✌️

Cool! Thanks ;)

I hear that noise all the time, they can drive me crazy sometimes. I got one that likes to perch right next to my window. But Ill bet you guys have plenty of Coyotes out there also.

That would be cool, and I was thinking about that with a nurf football maybe

@@BrianPhillipsRC You Rock Homie!!!

thanks master ;)

YEAH! What I'd really like to see is CARBON Z Warbirds ;)

We have links here - www.brianphillipsrc.com/supplies

@@BrianPhillipsRC Brian my son and I watch your videos all the time!!! Great job on them all!!! Your camera woman does an amazing job capturing everything also!!!!

Hi Brian sorry for all the questions. In your video I didn’t see how you set up reverse thrust. Maybe I missed it. But can you explain or point me at what point in your video you demonstrated how to set it up. I have a DX9 spektrum. Thank you

yeah, this one Bigger Tx Pack - 6000mAh 3.7V - bit.ly/3bZ0nHW

I love too many planes to mention. For me, it's all about the most recent 10 or so planes, but I always come back to the Carbon Cub SS 2.1m and this sort of big plane.

thanks!

The shelf liner is "sticky" and the Velcro pulls the battery AGAINST it...then it won't slip. It's like magic...give it a try! Shelf Liner bprc.me/ShelfLiner

Thanks! Hope we can help.

@@BrianPhillipsRC thank you very much

Nice - Thanks for figuring this out for us Allan!

@@BrianPhillipsRC ...and Kieth, my USN son, said that the nose number is an ID number for that particular aircraft within the squadron. Kieth was with VS-27 (Navy, Submarine, Squadron 27) and the numbered aircraft in that squad skipped #27.

Everything you ever wanted to know. Haha. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Navy_and_U.S._Marine_Corps_Aircraft_Squadron_Designations

I like the P-51 better. BUT no warbird collection is complete without a GOOD F4U-4 Corsair ;)

I only use tooth picks if it's hard to keep aligned, or needs support. If its' just a nose, you can probably just glue it on, no problemo.

PLEASE!!!

Sorry for the scam reply! We've reported and blocked that account.

You can fly with a bent nose, no problemo, but it'll look pretty bad. Try this... Put the plane over your sink. Put a but of warm water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes (or until it first boils), and with hotpads, grab the cup out and dump it onto the nose...then use your thumbs to FLATTEN the bumps, and grab and twist it straight. You'll be AMAZED how much better you can get it.

yes, the 1.2m Eflite - sure is!

That's a STEAL, get it!!!!!!! You will want to be careful with this beauty, but you can do it

I might have mis-spoke. I was dyslexic as a kid, and seems this slips out in form of my directional errors like that. Sorry

Favorite...I have too many favorites. I love the Carbon Z Cub SS 2.1m, but so many others too!

Sorry for the fake spam reply! They've been blocked.

Balance the plane with the battery if at all possible. Less dead weight is a good thing ;) BUT if you still need to add nose or tail weight, just add a few coins or screws at a time, and you can get it to balance. I like screws since you can actually screw them into the foam and then when you're done you can take them out if you overshoot.

Talk to Spektrum about this issue before you lose a plane. I've not heard of this before. Yellow cable on the ESC is a programming lead.

I know you don't want to hear this, and I understand it sucks to "need" a new item in RC....but you NEED to get more channels to avoid this sort of conflict. NX6 would give you enough channels, but I'm not going to try to talk you into that...I'm going to try to talk you into the NX10. Buying a transmitter is like buying TIRES for your Family car...less the NEED part - LOL...but what I mean, is you don't want to buy new tires for the car, but you need it, and if you don't, you might be able to get by for a few more weeks/months/years, but you do it anyway...it's just like taking $1000 and throwing it in the garbage. You don't really notice a huge change, except when you're NOT on the side of the road swapping out a blow out, or NOT dealing with a vibration at speed...but the feeling is the same... you just NEED to get the better Tx to do what you want. It's a tough pill to swallow, and I too struggled with it when I got my 3rd or 4th Tx (can't remember exactly the number) which was an NX8. It solved most of my problems, until not too much later, I ended up with a DX18. I NEVER looked back. It was one thing I didn't have to worry about. It was "done". Now, the DX8 and DX18 were huge jumps from the Dx5i and Dx4e I was starting with, but once I got into a DX8, I had all the stuff I "needed" until I ran out of channels...so when I went to the DX18, at some considerable expense, I only gained a LITTLE bit of feature for a LOT of money, but there was no other way to get it done. I guess, I want you to see that what's going on, is that you got too few channels to do what you REALLY need to do. If you want to make this work, you 100% can, but what I've learned over the last 9ish years of doing this, there's so much struggle to avoid the inevitable, in what you're doing, and I've been there - done that. Don't be like me...just get what you need, and make your life easy. I bet you can still off-load that DX6e for a bit of cash, to help off-set your new transmitter. Okay, now that I've said all this... bprc.me/NX6
