My first RC warbird experience (& CRASH 😲🤦🏼‍♀️)

In this video, I fly an RC warbird for the first time - the new 750mm (30") H-King F4U Corsair, which features Hobbyking's 6 Axis ORX Flight Stabilizer. I'd consider myself a "beginner-mediate" pilot and this model was a challenge for me, but definitely a step in progression for my flight journey. And yes, crashing is part of that!
A few things I learned:
- Don't throttle up too fast on take-off (or the model will torque to the left). Also would not suggest on a windy day!
- Hand launch the first few flights
- Needed some nose weight, so I ended up using a 1300 mAh battery (otherwise it might need some stick on weights in the nose)
- Don't fly too slow (or it may stall)
Spare parts should be available a little later in the spring according to HK.
Thank you to Hobbyking who supplied product for this review. Views are my own.
**Disclaimer: For the first release of these, the stabilizer that comes pre-installed will need to be replaced with an updated one, which will come included with your order.

The dreaded tip stall! Unfortunately warbirds need speed!

@afrog2666 3 года назад

Something like a Mustang or a Texan are a bit more forgiving, Spitfires have that huge eliptic wing, so they need less speed, but landing is harder imo anyway lol

@TheGravitywerks 3 года назад

In WWII, the Navy hated the F4-U for rolling near stall speed. They wouldn't use them on carriers if they could avoid it...dumped too many in the drink.... Great video, Thanks!

@dirtylatte 3 года назад

Carrier landings are described as a "controlled crash", so nice job! Keeping a little extra speed especially in the turns is important in a warbird to avoid wingtip stalls. You'll get used to them, but they will always be a little more challenging to fly (except maybe the T-28 trainer). Have fun!👍😆

@genemartin6962 3 года назад

they are called warbirds for a reason. When these things were built they were going up against the Zero of Japan. Very quick, Very, Very nimble and agile. The planes that faced them had to be on the same level. They were designed to be extremely high performance and that is why only our best pilots were assigned to this plane, the P38,P47,and, of course, the P51. They were NOT designed for unskilled pilots and THAT is why there were a lot more guys flying transports, bombers and everything else that was slower and less delicate. The fact you got it back on the ground after just a little wing rash speaks volumes. CONGRATS!!!!

Great job RCGirl! I too am a relatively new flyer and get the jitters EVERY time I take off. I find that practicing landing for a couple of battery packs (with a lipo alarm) every time i go fly, it reduces the jitters substantially. Also learn to fly within 20 feet of the ground (below the tree line) on a consistent basis instead of so high you can barely see it and it will make you a more confident pilot. More flying videos please!

@SunriseRCAviator 3 года назад

With practice you'll master even the warbirds. They are a ton fun to fly! You just have to ease throttle up on take off and be ready to compensate for any ground loop and on landings you really need some speed. Without flaps warbirds aren't slow flyers and when you see the wings starts to rock you have a stall lurking. Try to fly lower coming in on the landing approach also with maintained speed and you'll have a much more gentle final glide slope until touch down. I'll be getting mine this week so it will be interesting to fly it.

If you look at 8 41 the ailerons aren't centred and the elevator is deflected up. I think that was the cause of the tip at first. The second crash was due to tip stall as well. Warbirds hate going slow and they will drop a wingtip like crazy. Always keep a little throttle and energy in reserve. Great final flight. Thanks for sharing.
