Corsair F4U Moki 300cc *Maiden*

[@VNNZTC]

When I watched this I had tears in my eyes...My Dad used to fly the F4U...He passed away some years ago , but if he had seen and heard this aircraft he would have loved it...The aircraft, detail and sound are amazing...Thank you and good luck for the future...

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment, Eric. Much appreciated._ I'm sorry that your dad has gone. Surely he would have liked the video too. _Best regards, RCSA_

Your dad was a bad ass! Thanks for his service. My uncle did the same in the South Pacific.

[@ChrisB257]

Oh that sound! Not so far off a Kolm sound - so authentic. Outstanding plane, and smoke too.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

ChrisB257 Thank you _Chris_. Kolm does not produce radial engines and therefore they fit in perfectly into P-51's, Spitfire's and Me109 and gives a touch of the sound of a Merlin or DB603 engine. The sound of the Moki radial is perfect for planes like the Corsair, FW190 and other radial powered planes. _Best regards, RCSA_

[@svgitana2499]

Beautiful plane, and the sound! Just love watching these scale models that look 100% real fly around like nothing! 👍🏻

[@timwelch175]

Outstanding build and great flight! Also deserved mentioning this is some of the best RC footage even 5 years later.

[@Prairie7777]

This is one of the best planes I've seen. It looks so realistic and the thrust that the engine puts out is totally amazing. Plenty enough to get that plane in the air. Thank you for sharing this with us. TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

+Prairie Falcon _*Thank you for the kind comments. Much appreciated!_ A 250cc engine for this aircraft size will also be sufficient. 300 cc are better of course, because when using a scale propeller, the engine is less stressed. _Cheers ;)_

I did not know Moki made a 300 untill now. Pretty scary on the landing but being a maiden, the pilot didn't know it was going to float forever so it was smart to go around only to do it again lol! Great filming and keep em coming! J

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

locowerke Hello my friend. Thank you very much for your kind comment. The _Fly In_ at the airbase of the _FALCON WINGS_ is something very special and also very familiary. Flying with friends for friends is what makes it so relaxing. It's not a big event, but it's a good opportunity to meet people at the season start. I think you would enjoy it. The only reason to avoid such a long journey is, because the show is only on Saturday and some pre-flights on Friday afternoon. _Cheers, Horst_

[@nemo227]

That is truly one of the best F4U planes I've seen.

[@mikecooper8462]

Any of the old Byron Originals kits (P-51D, Corsair, Zero, P-47) still flying? Don't hear anything about them since the company folded.

[@nemo227]

@@mikecooper8462 I don't know but I'll bet there are readers who know that stuff. Some of them could probably give the complete history of the company, the models offered, all sorts of details. The first model plane I built (as a kid) was a Corsair. Wind up rubber band powered. Damn thing would not fly and when it crashed and broke I was so frustrated that I lit it on fire. It looked like a real burning plane. Frustration is so destructive.

[@kwaichangcaine8234]

So So cool , such a great sound from the engine too .

Still no Horst flying video my friend lol!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Cadillacstsv06 Hello _Fred_. Many thanks for your kind comment, full of compliments !!! It seems that the corsair is very easy to fly. Before the maiden, a lot of setup must be done. Since there are more Corsair's at this club, each of the members help Markus to get it perfect. The Moki 300cc made the right music ;o) I know, you're waiting to see me flying ...

[@gigabytex64]

Kit 1/6 th Top Flite needed some modification to make it perfectly scale then I made a mold of it to make a fibreglass copy, the original is almost ready just finishing touches then I will do the glass copy. My length of time was drawn out with custom electronics for lights, gear staging and canopy, plus it took nearly a year to find a pilot that matched the original pilot Chris McGee from the Black Sheep Flying Squadron Plane ID 883. Full cockpit wit lights, proper fittings to make it look just right. But I have always loved the sound of those Moki Powered versions but I don't have the room to store them as I have 2 jets that hog all the space. But yours came out a treat and smooth first roll and climb.

Should have right rudder on take off as soon as you start moving with ALL tail draggers. Although the response time was good, he should have known this. P factor ALWAYS does this even with down and right motor angle. That aside, amazing flight for a maiden. Loved this. I also have the same color scheme and love it as well.

[@kengutwein9370]

Just saw this video 3 yrs. after it came out. I hope this beautiful F4U is still flying. Tremendous power out of that Moki turning a 4 blade. Wise for the pilot to abort 1st landing attempt and go around. It seems to me that the Europeans are in the forefront of building and flying giant(huge)scale RC aircraft. I wonder if this is due to maximum weight restrictions in the USA by the AMA and FAA for RC aircraft.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

_Thank you for your kind comment, which I really appreciate !!!_ The weight limit of Rc airplanes in Europe is 25 kg / 55 lbs ... above that weight, a special pilot license and a technical acceptance of the model is required.
