The 15 Year Project? JHH A-7 Corsair II Takes to the Skies! 

HA!! I actually used to FLY THOSE!! What a GREAT looking model!!!

Gorgeous. I was flying H3 Seakings in HS-14 deployed in USS RANGER during Desert Storm. Our Airwing had no A7s! Dang it. I did end up flying out to AMERICA, MIDWAY, and some others I don't recall, but I sure did wish that we'd had the SLUF aboard our Airwing.

I can see why you love this so much, the scale details is fantastic Chris, certainly a keeper for life. 🫡

Always loved that bird

Wow - I served in VA-72 as a jet engine mechanic from 1987-1991.

As usual, first rate AWESOME!🇺🇸👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅🫵🏼

Chris...holy cow, there's a lot of beefsteak in this one!!! The detail is amazing!! Beautiful!! AirHammer out...

I still have a 1 sheet advert for that JHH from like 1990-1? Always thought about that jet...esp after electric fans came about. My buddy commented "it's too small, and that plane is ugly." Well, he has a 1/6 scale turbine F-16 that's been "almost finished" for over six years.😏

Still don't understand why there aren't more larger A-7's out there. Shame what happened to the JHH kit availability too.

Have always loved the A 7, and yours is a beautiful example. As an aside, when Brian Schul returned to flight status he flew the Corsair, and spoke fondly about the bird. As you probably know, Major Shul eventually piloted the SR 71. Thanks for the video!

Wow, I was in VA-27, '80 -'83. this looks good, I think the first I have seen. Our sister squadron, VA - 97 was the first to paint the grey scheme. Well done.

Outstanding Chris!

You sure made an ugly jet look fantastic, and you fly it really well. I like to hear about its history and what you learned from your father. I learned a lot from my father as well. He gave me my wings 37 years ago. I miss him a lot

That flies great and groves along nicely. Always fancied doing a A7, still on my bucket list. 👍

Beautiful A-7.

Just the sound is amazing

Great A7 Chris. Super flying 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Incredible model - fantastic detail and craftsmanship as always. Looks great in the air!!

Gorgeous and fabulous flying!

Another beauty and favorite of mine. Got a thing for the Grouper mouth and Jimmy Durante nose. 😁

I always enjoy watching your A7 fly! Thanks for posting this!!!

Awesome that you keep making videos of this model! It’s a pleasure to watch.

Beautiful model of a great airplane! Very well executed and flies so nicely. Congrats!

nice one of my favorite warbirds

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece

What a beautiful model.

We painted camels on our VLS launcher in Desert Storm after confirmed hits. :) Great looking A7!!

That is a beautiful A-7!!

Greetings from San Diego! She’s so ugly she’s beautiful. As expected, exquisitely detailed. Keep ‘em coming Chris.

Its a shame these are so hard to come by now. Im glad you have managed to hang on to her and keep it fly for so long! Seeing you win Scale masters with it was amazing! Great video my friend.

Beautiful work.

Beautiful job Chris!!! 🎉

Chris. That is so cool; one of my favourite jets -that's what the SLUF is.

Amazing plane Chris.. Thanks for sharing..

Nice job G man 👍

Great video Chris. Nice to see one of your favourite planes in the air . Looks like a keeper 😂. Seriously looks great in the air , compliments on the scale flying . The attention to detail as always top notch.

I burst out laughing turbin powered 😅 I visualised all these head dressings flying around 😂

Very Nice Flight and Landing. The A7 is very cool too.

Amazing model! The A-7 is one of my favorites, partly because it shares lineage with probably my all time favorite fighter jet The Crusader. I’ve always liked the “big maw” on the front and the “stout” nature of the aircraft in general, it just looks like it means business. Kinda like a tough street fighter who’s father was a world champion heavyweight in the ring. I hope to have an A-7 in my own modest fleet someday. Keep up the incredible work! Cheers!

Wow the attention to detail is mind numbing awesome well done 👍 Ace

parabens por mais esta obra de arte .espero tambem ver o hustler novamente. obrigado pelo video. Saudaçoes

what an awesome model! Great to see it in the air again

Awesome thanks for sharing this info with me 🎉❤

Beautiful model and excellent video. Go Vought!

Coolest jet😊

Greàt lil bomb gruck is the A7. You version is just pure art. 😊 She flys and tracks likes on rails. Carry on 😅

😮😮😮😮 Major jelly!

very nice !!! all the best...👍

Chris, so cool man. This is really a beautiful scale model you have. By the way, you acquired that light/latch idea from your Father... LOL. Love to see you come down to BHAMRC- "Bigfoot" event. Lots of fun and really fine folks to meet. 🙂

Awesome plane👌

As usual Chris..............homerun!

Enjoyed the vid. Had one back in the day. Lost it flying off the lake bed at Edwards. Think that funky elevator set up broke. It had a 7.5 k&b with the hop up kit in it. Yours is amazing, the scale detail is some of your best work.

Thanks!

I think that in 2006 there hadn't been enough EDF. The A-7 is a lot smaller than the Hustler, but I liked the original a lot back then. The older you get, the more you like older planes. I just downloaded the DO-X in MSFS. Unfortunately, there is no Hustler there (yet?).

Great model! Has always been my favorite fighter ever since I saw the Enterprise loaded with them on deck , circa 1962 Cuba.

Beautiful Chris, yeah down here at Spring Valley, ca. you have a 50/50 chance not to hit the runoff gravel with the jets. Keeps you on your toes !

Damn, so jealous! I have always wanted an A7.

What’s the setup esc / motor and also does it come with those landing gear ?

We had 4 weapon stations, with the two inner removed, and so no fuel tanks, better flight characteristics I guess. So if you want to take off the two inner pylons, it is accurate for some squadrons.

corsair 2 looks good

I still have one in Edward test flight colors NIB with Wren 44 NIB as well. I want to repaint it tought, possibly hi viz Navy colors. Any idea ? Should I strip the old paint ?

My first job out of college was at LTV during Desert Storm and I used to watch these bad boys land at Dallas Naval Air Station for avionics upgrades. Not the best-looking plane by any stretch of the imagination (the only decent looking plane Vought ever made was the original Corsair IMO) but it definitely got the job done. Thanks for bringing back such good memories and was wondering if you have or have thought about doing an F7U Cutlass.

lol i remember being a kid walking down to jet hanger hobbies and buying parts for my cox .051 and other crap

Chris , looks as you were at the field in Southern Indiana Grate site to fly, on a aircraft to replace the B-58 how about an F-8 .. your thoughts ...

Great flight and looking plane. I bet a stock out of the box B1 or B2 didn't win best warbird. That only happens at California events.

Nice field. Where is this?

can you fly RC vought F8U crusader

Just so fond of this era of warplanes ..We grew up next to the Willow Grove Naval Air Station, Horsham, Pennsylvania .. of course we saw everything that came thru..including the A7, F4, A4 beautiful A4 by the way. We had one of the largest East Coast Air Shows every year with the distinction of wrecking a F-117 during an Air Show weekend. backing it's wing into the hanger. .. I was a police officer here, so we got base privileges .. saw the F-117 up close , guarded by beret wearing M-16 carrying soldiers. Very impressive .. along w/ everything else UP CLOSE SO COOL ..We also have outdoor "Air Museum" which included the Luftwaffes Messerschmitt ME 262 "Swallow' two-seat trainer.. which the stinking jerkweed Marine base in Florida STOLE from us.. German Aardo AR 196 IIRC Sea Plane..snt back to Germany Boooooo.. these planes were outside for everyone to see.. The ME 262 was 'restored' which was a disaster IMO as they changed the org camoflouge scheme ..it was so valuable, we built an Air Museum around it: Delaware Valley Air Museum.. So I'm a huge fan. especially the old prop and jets.. This Corsair is something else.. was wondering when or if we would ever see it.. Next to The Phantom which was developed next township over at the Warminster Naval Air Warfare Center .. the Intruder it's my favorite.. I've watched the A7 scene in "Thirteen Days " over and over ...the WGNAS is a now present day a drone base ..anotehr boooooo. THANK YOU so much for taking your baby out ... especially after the Hustler ..think everybody felt that crash.. thanks for the great content, really enjoy it..

was that plane made in the middle East? Several times you mentioned it was flown with Turbans.??

Does JHH still make this kit??

Are you aware, that the left wheel is cracked? 03:35

I want some Vietnamese BBQ.

Shame that your`re not selling them anymore 😪
