Much respect for hand launching this bad boy. 👍 I have one myself but it's still in the box for the moment.

Looking good !

Hello! First I must say ..this bird looks pretty nice....I bought this plane from second hand, the ex owner and builder didnt fly with him... I put saito 6.5cc 4 stroke on it,now have about 2150grams ..i hope this engine will be enough for this bird..But i wonder ask something else..where is the right-ideal CG and what is the "pitch" of elevator and ailerons? Big Thanx for any answer or info!! Greeting from Slovenia, Klemen !

Hi Gary, thanks for the vid & info, where did you end up with the C of G as I have one. Using Speky Safe helps hand launch with mine + no thrust vectoring. Mine pitches up if the THR is chopped, IMO to do with the cheat holes and thrust tube angle.

Awesome!!

Looks like it flies quite well. Congrats! I'll be starting on mine before much longer.

Still a valid vid after all these years Gary.. thx for posting..

I love the look of the de Havilland twin-boom planes like the Venom and Vampire. I have a Durafly Vampire that's a bit of a handful to get off the ground, but flies pretty well once up. When it hits it's expiration date, I may upgrade to something like the Freewing Venom.

Hermoso Avion es my Favorito ...

Nice to see it in action again 😊👍👍

Aircraft fantastic ! But the cameraman is very poor recording the video. You don't know how to zoom & focus to the object.

Wow very nice belly landing with minimal skid on the belly!!! The gear on the LX models is crap. I replace them with Freewing F35 and T33 gear which fits and provides larger wheels.

Great flight Gaz with a plane that's a little out of the ordinary.

Great plane! Great job flying it so good!!!‘

Do you built it with stabilizer in there?

What paints scheme plans did you use? I bought my one kit and I am wondering what plans you used for the iron cross measurements

Interesting. Very pitch sensitive. Did you also try to use a flight mode which inhibits the canards? I wonder if that calms down the yumpy behavior in the pitch axis during normal flight.

Do decals come with this kit? Ex. Iron cross and white square

nice landing.

I thought I.C. models had been banned at Warwick?

Excellent video Gaz, thoroughly enjoyed it. When you asked for a low flyby, that's exactly what you got with the Vampire! Hope your hearing has recovered. :)

I want one.

Nice Flight, what filement is used ? ( Brand ? i love the outcome of it on the plane )

Nice berkut 👍

Greetings. Did you use a gyro stabilization on this aircraft?

Nice flying, sweet craft!

When I built mine, I never saw a clear place to center the canards. Any ideas?

I just ordered the new V2 today, can’t wait to fly this beauty and add it to my hangar, nice flight 👍

Gorgeous plane! How heavy is the model with battery?

Hello :-) how many rates and expo?

Hi, I have just read that IC models are not supposed to fly at Warwick racecourse now. Do you know who made this decision? And what is the reason? Thanks

Great scale model build. I'd love to see it fly.

Nice flight !

Hello and thank you for the video. How much line do you have and how much bungee cord? and how strong is the pull to launch the model safely? i have the same device and want to launch a F9F Panther (Freewing) with it. Regards from Germany

I bought the kit version a few months back. I'm going to set it up like yours. I want to keep it plane and simple. I bet it would rip on two 4s packs.

Hi Gary, nice bungee-launch. Where do you place the hook exactly an the MIC 15 ?

Nice launch!

Hi there, I'm thinking of buying this plane next week. Would you recommend it? Does it have any weakness? Thank you.

What brand of upgraded struts did you switch to?

Congratulations Paul for a successful maiden flight,the F4U Corsair is a wonderful stable aircraft with that gull wing layout,Laurie does an amazing job with these 3D printed models,here is to many happy flying hours with your new Corsair ! very nice video too Gary.

Спасибо

I just started building mine, not a big fan of the split half construction. I am also setting it up as a belly lander, no gear saves a ton of weight. Good flying, I was expecting a stall at the end but she just flopped, beautiful.

Your Esc are Opto ? or Bec 5v ??

Good Job on an under engineered model. Unfortunately LX has done nothing to improve their models for the last ten years. That's why reputable retailers wont touch them. If Freewing or FMS were to get their hands on the rights to make this model I would buy one in a second. Notice how hard it is to just fly comfortably level? Notice LX still uses the crappy landing gear even though there have been great improvements on RC landing gear in the last few years. Notice the landing gear is glued directly to the foam? Notice how tight your battery bay and interior is? Why buy a PNP model and have to replace things like the retracts and junk servos. Oh well, it does look nice hanging from the ceiling...…..

Dear Gary. Which aluminium gear did you use? Can you sende a link please? Thank you!

Nice plane Gary! Where and how did you mount a hook on the plane? Just forward of cg? Damn, mate! Your landings are buttery and silky smooth. So smooth that what should be seen as a hard line between air and ground is blurred by your lovely landings mate! Gorgeous!!

Well done Gary,a tricky little beast.

Many thanks. Useful information... and by the way, very nice landing at the end. :-)

What a great Maiden, seems to have no vices,

I was sat at work waiting for a compile and wondered if anyone had made a lightening out of foam yet :) Very nice work. It looks amazing and doesn't look like it needs much work to make it fly as good as it looks.
