  • On today's show were doing some landing practice runs with the F4U-4 Corsair 1.2m BNF Basic with AS3X and SAFE Select .
    Each pass helped and I got a few really nice ones . This was kinda general warbird landing runs . Trying to keep the plane up on the mains while feathering throttle and rudder .
    Sorry the video cuts off abruptly at the end . The SD card was full . LOL
    Thanks for watching and Commenting

    Good stuff Philip ! I noticed a few landing / roll outs that were sort of 'skittering' along on your gravel road with enough speed to have some rudder authority - and you kept your Corsair straight & well in the middle of the road. Even the approaches that you chose to abort were easy to handle doing a go around because of your retained speed. I am sure there are a lot of different styles that some RCers may prefer. But I feel that a scale war bird doing a scale landing will take a bit of time / room to roll out on landing. Your situation is a bit unique in that you have that nice long, smooth road to land on. A lot of modelers will have a much shorter runway - and must try to get it down and stopped much quicker. OK.
    FYI - One of my tricks is to plan a touch n go that is coming in smooth and with some speed. And if I get the tires touching down gently and the plane is rolling out well . . . I just keep it straight with power back down - let it roll out to nearly a full stop . . . and decide that I wanted it to be a landing all along. Ha.
    Looked like a very good practice session to me.

      Thanks again for the tips and advice . I ran another pack through after this one doing pretty much the same . These were a bit bigger batts than I normally use also, but the CG is good and I like the bit of extra weight m handling and flight time .
      I might try some different sections of the road next time , because some spots have a little wider center area .
      Next is to start inducing some flaps and rates tuning . But that's a bit more plane specific . on this plane they make quite a difference but less so on some others .
      Yeah it's nice when we can pick and choose our 'Proper' landings . I do that too . LOL

      Thanks for watching . I'm going to keep trying different spots . Everytime they grade the road its a little different . This last time was not there best work . LOL 😆

      A nice smooth tarmac with a white runway line would be cool!

    It took me a few minutes to realize that the little sticks in the subscribe link are guitars... nice touch! I do envy your ability to fly these various aircraft... I am still not skilled enough with my drone! Another LIKE for your video brother!

      Thanks Ray . Almost forgot about that automatic watermark myself its so small .
      I still try to squeeze in some sim time here and there but there no replication from just hands on training .

      Thank you Miss , Yes this is scale replica of a WWII fighter , made even more infamous with the 1970s TV show Black Sheep Squadron or Baa Baa Black Sheep as it's known to others .
