The FMS 1700mm F4U Corsair is gorgeous, absolutely stunning. Flies great - but the tailwheel and landing gear mounts need some work. In this vid, we cover how to fix the tailwheel and how to fix the main retracts so that they don't wobble anymore. Hopefully FMS fixes these issues going forward.

This plane holds a special place in my heart. My grandfather flew one in WW2 (Marines). He would tell me the stories but what I remembered the most was how in detail how he explained how the Cosair handled. Now that being said, yes this plane NEEDS about 20 to 30 percent more power. I'm on my second one because we'll the first one blew the front end ( 8s). Blew up is being kind😅. By that time Jon I experienced everything you just pointed out. So I decided what would make this plane better. You know RC folks when there is a challenge.

@RDEnduro 23 дня назад

Great easy fix on tailwheel, thanks for showing. The main gear, also.

@3DPisu Месяц назад

I have the Flightline F4U Corsair, over 200 flights and still perfect like when I opened the box. Probably the best epo warbird I have ever used, 6s 5000 with 13 minutes of high speed flying and super solid retracts!

@flyboy451 Месяц назад

My Fliteline Corsair is also several seasons in and is still in perfect condition. It is a fantastic model for sure!

@jonnycatt138 Месяц назад

It drives me nuts. We live in 2024 and these companies dont put out a flawless product.... fms should be fixing all this stuff asap. For how good planes look now everything else should be just as nice

@fmsmodelRC Месяц назад

We will look into this issue as soon as possible, thanks for the feedback.

@ModelAV8RChannel Месяц назад

Actually, to fly a warbird scale you need enough power to perform big vertical maneuvers. I shoot for a compromise in scale maneuver size and timing. For instance, my loop would be a bit bigger than scale, but that increases the time it takes to complete it. With the model it would still be completed in less time than it would take the full scale counterpart to perform one at an airshow, but the timing will be closer if you cheat the spacing a bit. Over all, it appears more realistic, but requires more power. Nice review man, and yep, this one needs a power upgrade.

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

It'd be nice if people would stop bashing stuff as not being "scale" just because it has enough power to do interesting things.

@AL-RCjunkie Месяц назад

Shoot. If it has the power to take off, that's interesting enough for me. Everything after that, is just me crappin my pants, wondering what's gonna break when I land. And how much it'll cost...my wife's credit card 😊

I found a company in California that makes CNC parts for RC planes and vehicles. I sent them the whole hub and prop assembly, and they made the whole hub aircraft grade aluminum, including the screw on prop adapter. Price wasn't too bad either, and the plane looks pretty cool, too. I bought a Cobra 250kv motor, and I already had an HV120 amp ESC. The tricky part was finding a company that would make the props. That was the biggest issue and why it blew. I didn't realize it or overlooked it, but the stock props could not handle the 8s RPMs, and at higher rpms, there is oscillation, and the props literally exploded Anyway, long story short, I found a company and sent them the stock props and told them the range of rpms and motor I would be using and presto, I had stiffer props (carbon fiber infused plastic). I also tore apart 😢the crashed cosair so I could really examine it. So the second one I expoxied the gear, did the same fix you did on the tail. Installed new prop hub assembly and also redid the motor mount so it would fit the different cross plate. Jon it now flies like a Cosair should. It's not overly powerful but it does boogie. Those slow lazy barrel rolls and big scale loops and your not at constant full throttle. Anyway great review as always and I apologize for the long post but the Cosair is a special plane to me and I just had to do it justice.

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

That's quite a bit of effort to go through for this plane - but it shows that you definitely care about it. Happy to see you found a solution!

@johnberrios4255 Месяц назад

@TwoBrosRC It was quite a bit of effort, but it flies like it should now. Something that should have been done by the factory. I went above and beyond, but all it would need is a stiffer prop and the same size motor with at least a 120amp esc. The plane is a tough plane. I also forgot to mention that it's one of the few planes that has a metal spar about 1 foot long and about 2 inches wide above the gear and is bent like with the gullwing. My first one, like I said, I tore it apart and suspected there was something in the wing cause of the weight, and sure enough, there is a metal spar.

@edwardranno7119 Месяц назад

Many years ago I built a balsa model of that plane with a nitro motor. it flew really nice

@CalebT_RC Месяц назад

I’m glad I chose the flightline Corsair instead of this one. Not that I’m saying the fms bad, but Flightline just so many less issues

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

Is it the same size?

@CalebT_RC Месяц назад

@@TwoBrosRC it’s 1600mm. They have multiple warbirds in this size range and they all do great. Like the b-25, spitfire, tigercat, p-38, etc. I’ve flown most of these and are fantastic in their own way imo.

@SafetyThirdRC Месяц назад

That was a good review. The inverted pass was sick. The only request I have is gear down inverted. Cheers

@AL-RCjunkie Месяц назад

I've become much more comfortable with my left stick practicing long dragged out landings on my Maule. That doodoo floppy tailwheel doesnt play well with the rough pavement i fly it from. So, ive adapted. I appreciate the blooper reel. I feel a little better about how crappy the maiden flight of my FMS 980mm p40 went for me. Well, for IT, mostly. Currently steaming up some h20 for the crinkles in the nose... anyway, thanks for sharing the bad with the good, so we can all enjoy those moments together 😊 👍

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

The bigger they are, the easier they tend to be to fly throughout the envelope. The smaller warbirds can easily torque themselves off a runway. Bigger ones can too, but you get more time to react to it. Happy to hear you're enjoying the progression!

@iansummers6945 Месяц назад

Nice review as always 👏 I have the 1400mm version on 5S for a little more oomph without the prop mod a lot of guys do..

@Hype_RC Месяц назад

Thanks for posting this one Jon! Greatly review as usual. The retract and tail wheel issues have haunted me too on certain models from this producer.I can’t wait to make time for putting together my new 1700 P-51 with the bigger motor and posting to your discord channel. This may be a great option to spruce things up a bit for those that want more power.

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

Very nice review love watching the Corsair fly, I have the flite line 1600 mm bird cage vs flys like a dream even hit a tree top spon it around landed on it’s gear - some tree limbs were in the wing and prop but very little repair was needed was in the air in a couple weeks

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

@williewideback Месяц назад

Thanks! this review helps a lot, i have two 1700mm FMS Corsair's, The V2 and V3 version I've yet to maiden

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

Definitely take the time to reinforce the gear mounts. A few minutes with foaming Gorilla Glue is all it takes.

@nyrican0015 Месяц назад

Hey, I got in to 3-D watching this channel and still learning,I was just wondering have you ever flown the 850mm Pitts, and looking forward to future videos. Keep up the good work. 👍

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

Happy to help out, but nope. Never flown that one yet.

@Mikeylikesit1968 Месяц назад

I had one and flew it a few times and sold it, just needed more power and with the price for it , wasn't going to spend more money on it to make it faster. Yes you could slap a 2 blade on it , but who doesn't like that big cool 4 blade. There's many factors in motors and props

@henryairconcepts2999 Месяц назад

F4U looks good in the air but high stall speed makes it hard to land due to seagull wing design. I kept crashing the 1200mm version one, so I never liked it. The FMS P40B is just much more enjoyable to fly. Faster, and more manoeuvrable

@obvious2886 Месяц назад

I had the issue with my kingfisher where the plastic housing that the landing gear is attached to falls off easy. I put foam safe super glue on it, and it just doesn’t stick to the plastic super well

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

Try Gorilla Glue instead. That'll fix it.

It has always amazed me that FMS makes such fantastic EDF power systems, but they continue to struggle with prop power systems after all these years. Just doesn't make sense!

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

At least they're publicly committed to addressing the gear issues in the comment section.

@jamesonclark5854 Месяц назад

@@TwoBrosRC I'll take any public commitment to improving products! However, until they start making improvements to their prop power systems, I'll still only be a FMS EDF customer.

@ShadowOppsRC Месяц назад

The stock esc in these is the wrong match for the motor and fms not the only company with glue issues on the landing gear hardware. 600 dollar plane and should not be an issue but it is. Freewing can be bad at no glue too!

Looks even faster a bit than Mustang.

one failure to one of the major components of aircraft is a pure disappointment, poor landing gear design and structure, not worth it to buy even if it is good at flying. The best Airplane is no problem of 5 major components of the aircraft

@TwoBrosRC Месяц назад

No airplane is perfect - if issues like this bother you enough to not fly something, you'll end up skipping out on a lot of great flying airframes that require a bit of work on your part.

@jiero7918 Месяц назад

@@TwoBrosRC yeah no airplane is perfect but that aircraft is a scale model make sure the quality for that size have quality also not just scale down model, someone paid for that, RTF/READY TO FLY MODEL IS PLUG N PLAY AND NOT TO FIX THE ISSUE CAME FROM FACTORY.
