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.
