Eflite - F4U-4 Corsair V2 - 1.2m - Unbox, Build, Radio Setup, & Maiden Flights

[@louiestark]

Your camera girl does the best job! I usually don’t like RC airplane videos because all you see is sky with a dot moving around, but not your videos. The movement and zoom is excellent you can always see what the plane is doing. Your reviews are the greatest too, can’t wait for your review of the Mini Draco.

Every time I see a beautiful Corsair floating, it rekindles my love of it. Beautiful flight, beautiful landings. I love your detailed description of the flights and settings, even though I still only have rtf controls and can only dream of expo. I'm waiting on my parts and now I know I need a 3S for my Mustang 750. Keep doing what you're doing, thank you Brian and camera crew🙃😁

[@TerranceNeill]

Another great video. You guys are the best! I ordered my viva your link. By far the easiest build ever for any Eflight plane. Super easy. The decals do take some planning for placement. I maiden mine this past Saturday no wind, bright sunshine, She flew like she was on rails! I do have one gripe: My flaps servos buzz in landing flaps. After removing and inspecting the servos and funding no problems with the servos. I reinstalled the servos. I thinking the geometry of the linkages may be the problem. I did reduce my flap throughs to pos 1 - 20, pos 2 70. This stopped the buzzing and I didn't loose all that much deflection. Don't know if anyone else has this issue.....

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks for buying this beauty from the links!!! If she keeps buzzing, see if you can OVER-DRIVE it for a second, then back it off...if it stops buzzing, then it's just a foam joint stress, that will word out over time. You can unclip the flap and work it up and down a few times to help too, if this seems to be your issue.

[@RCJWILL954]

Fyi, be sure you fellas and gals don't accidentally try and take off in safe. Lol. You will destroy the prop. You can take off in safe but, you have to adjust you ail stick to level before you accelerate. Or it will just nose over. Didn't mean too, just learned the hard way. Haha. Awesome video Brian. Always enjoy them. Especially the transmitter set up. Don't change a thing!

You can get in the air, but you have to be super careful about the speed with which you add in power...this is a tough skill for the newer RC pilot. We want to keep the long format for now, and hope to keep support of our amazing audience ;)

I set mine up as you did.

[@dradden1556]

I set mine up as you did. Everything works great , very nice. Something weird. I'm not experienced enough to figure it out but when deploy my flaps , they fully extend and stop. i hear a slight sound coming from the flap servo area kind of like they are still running. Even though the flaps are all the way down. Do you know what would be a common reason for that to happen ? I checked my flap settings on the nx8 and they are all as directed. I'm just lost cause it really flys great.

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This means you might be OVER-DRIVING them into the foam, possibly colliding with the pieces of the wing where they extend out? If it's LOUD, you should try to slightly back them off in the FLAP menu, OR you can try to work them even further by millimeters...you know, just bend them DOWN just a bit more, then let go...VERY FAST...like 1 seconds or less. Both flaps. If you do this too long, you might damage the servos. If this doesn't work...just set them to LESS deployment and see if it helps. Also, if it's real quite, it might just be the hing material isn't really broke in just yet. "Exercise" the flaps a bunch of times, if you're concerned...RUN them up and down about 100 times and see if the noise stops, or lessens. Give this a shot, maybe 3 minutes of work here, and let me know what you find. Good luck! Welcome to RC, this is A part of the learning experience. "It's all part of the show", as they say, and you too, will need to start to do this type of troubleshooting, so we're honored to help!

Thanks for the review Brian. Been a long time since you reviewed the eflite Corsair back in your old home. I'm not keen on the new all blue but the AS3X and Safe is something I prefer to have so I got the original one. I love with the green on the nose and wings. Added an Avain 60a esc and AR631. Waiting on a Maule motor to arrive then I'm hoping I have a very quick Corsair. I was a kinda disappointed with the new Trojans speed. They really should've upped the motor spec on these new versions. Id love to see a 1.5m 6s Corsair with clip off wings and suspension to go with my Focke-Wulf and P51 1.5m warbirds.

I have a question, I have gotten myself my first rc plane, the habu STS, first flight everything went well, until the approach for landing, flown right into a tree, and now the nose is a little bent to the right, would this affect the aero too much or could I just get it into the air no problem?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

You can fly with a bent nose, no problemo, but it'll look pretty bad. Try this... Put the plane over your sink. Put a but of warm water in the microwave for 2-3 minutes (or until it first boils), and with hotpads, grab the cup out and dump it onto the nose...then use your thumbs to FLATTEN the bumps, and grab and twist it straight. You'll be AMAZED how much better you can get it.

Hi Brian, I am having trouble setting a switch for safe select. I am using a DX6e transmitter. Here is what I sent to Horrizon asking for help along with their responds. I'm not sure what to do.... "So I can get it tied to the landing gear. Then I go into "forward programing" and follow the steps in the instruction manual on page 12 (updated 4/22) When I toggle the switch and tell it to be off when the gear is up, it accepts that but then when I go to the other setting, gear down it is also off. So I tell it to be on, then when I go to gear up it is also on??? Also, I'm seeing "flight mode 1,2 and 3" 1 is gear up and it says safe select on, then when I change it to off it says "flight mode 2" if I put the gear down at this point it says "flight mode 3" and safe is off. Turn it on and it does not turn on. Put the gear up, we are back to "flight mode 1" and safe is on again." Their responds was this.... "The 0 position of the switch will default to SAFE on if using safe select and there is no way to change that. The flight mode should be showing 1 for the switch pos 0 and flight mode 1 or 2 for the 1 position if using a 2 position switch for gear such a switch A. If using a 3 position switch then it should follow the switch with flight mode 2 being the center position and flight mode 3 being the 2 position." I am using switch A. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you, Dan Carroll (DC)

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I know you don't want to hear this, and I understand it sucks to "need" a new item in RC....but you NEED to get more channels to avoid this sort of conflict. NX6 would give you enough channels, but I'm not going to try to talk you into that...I'm going to try to talk you into the NX10. Buying a transmitter is like buying TIRES for your Family car...less the NEED part - LOL...but what I mean, is you don't want to buy new tires for the car, but you need it, and if you don't, you might be able to get by for a few more weeks/months/years, but you do it anyway...it's just like taking $1000 and throwing it in the garbage. You don't really notice a huge change, except when you're NOT on the side of the road swapping out a blow out, or NOT dealing with a vibration at speed...but the feeling is the same... you just NEED to get the better Tx to do what you want. It's a tough pill to swallow, and I too struggled with it when I got my 3rd or 4th Tx (can't remember exactly the number) which was an NX8. It solved most of my problems, until not too much later, I ended up with a DX18. I NEVER looked back. It was one thing I didn't have to worry about. It was "done". Now, the DX8 and DX18 were huge jumps from the Dx5i and Dx4e I was starting with, but once I got into a DX8, I had all the stuff I "needed" until I ran out of channels...so when I went to the DX18, at some considerable expense, I only gained a LITTLE bit of feature for a LOT of money, but there was no other way to get it done. I guess, I want you to see that what's going on, is that you got too few channels to do what you REALLY need to do. If you want to make this work, you 100% can, but what I've learned over the last 9ish years of doing this, there's so much struggle to avoid the inevitable, in what you're doing, and I've been there - done that. Don't be like me...just get what you need, and make your life easy. I bet you can still off-load that DX6e for a bit of cash, to help off-set your new transmitter. Okay, now that I've said all this... bprc.me/NX6

I wonder if a super micro head tracker could fit in that canopy? 🤔

[@toddshobbyzone659]

Brian, I remember one of your videos talking about the bigger battery for the nx6-- is that a direct replacement??

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

yeah, this one Bigger Tx Pack - 6000mAh 3.7V - bit.ly/3bZ0nHW

[@spookyno1401]

what would you pick between this and the 1.2 t28 for flying on grass?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

This one sits taller, but might pivot over easier too...BUT the bogeys are STRONGER on this one - tough call!

[@djr01974]

I have an opportunity to by this brand new for 150. What do you think. I have the fms p51 and the voodoo never flown with flaps and retracts yet!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

That's a STEAL, get it!!!!!!! You will want to be careful with this beauty, but you can do it

[@kianvandermeer9857]

Im sorry but mabey im stupid but do you get the betteries and the controller and the charger with it or not?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Not stupid...this is called a BNF Basic (Bind and Fly) meaning you provide your Spektrum DSMX transmitter, and a battery of your choice. We have links to our choices at the top of the video description.

[@garyhinchey4086]

Brian what do you have the throws set at, up and down I am not using a spectrum receiver and the Manuel didn’t cover it

[@carlprince2866]

Damn what a great landing

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Thanks!

[@이현서-d3e]

Is it possible to fly comfortably with the gyro or as3x turned off?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

There's not really an easy way to do so in BNF, but if you wish, go for it. SAFE is only on when you ask for it, but AS3X (Stabilizer) is always on with BNF models from Eflite.

[@이현서-d3e]

Compared to arrowhobby f4u1100m, which one is more comfortable and flies better?

100% the 1.2m - it is WAY better. F4U bit.ly/3aTWi9H

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement landing gear for this model?? One of my rotating retract servo's already went out and those strut pins keep falling out.the pins are even hard to find cause they are an off weird size . I've checked everywhere. Horizon,Eflite site etc and no one has them available. Anyone who knows where I can get them . Please let me know. I really appreciate it. I'm having to fly with the gear permit fixed down and I think it looks ridiculous. Lol6h

Hi Brian sorry for all the questions. In your video I didn’t see how you set up reverse thrust. Maybe I missed it. But can you explain or point me at what point in your video you demonstrated how to set it up. I have a DX9 spektrum. Thank you

[@bobd676]

Brian- you said you had to go full Left on rudder-but it looks like you had it full right ? I'm on my 4th flight now. !st 2 were hairy ! 3rd -took my retracts off--This plane torques on ground to left I believe right ?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I might have mis-spoke. I was dyslexic as a kid, and seems this slips out in form of my directional errors like that. Sorry

[@soxfox1176]

How do we set up reverse thrust on this? I heard you talking about it at the beginning of the video!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

It's in the Radio Setup part of this video.

Opinions on best 1.2m war bird? T28, p51, or f4u?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

All good, but T-28 is my favorite. F4U bit.ly/3aTWi9H - this one is great, but even amongst the greats, it is the harder to fly of the lot. P47 bit.ly/3aU3v9K (

[@tomicavarovic9530]

it happens to me that after a flight of approx. 3 minutes with a 4s battery, the engine is very hot. this seems a little abnormal to me that it gets so hot. does your engine heat up too?

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

YES. this is pretty normal, and best thing to do is to get the plane cooled down at the tail end of your flight, if you can resist going nuts till the end of the flight ;)

[@briankidwell3804]

Brian, usually you take great pains to show how the control surfaces work for AS3X and SAFE. This time you covered SAFE movements, but kind of skipped over the AS3X movement. I'm mentioning this because I have a question about lack of real movement in AS3X only. My version of the Corsair is a BNF the same as the one you reviewed. I have a three position switch, Gyros off, AS3X only, and SAFE. All three modes work, sort of. Gyros off there is no control surface activity as you move the plane, SAFE mode operates exactly as you demonstrated on this video. However, AS3X mode is strange. I can hear the servos twitching as I move the plane around, but there is little detectable motion. Also, the usual gyro menu that you would see if this receiver were a 637T for example is totally missing. Under gyro is only the menu for SAFE settings. No where to set AS3X gain. Any thoughts? Thanks as always for the awesome videos!

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

If you have the BNF, then you will probably not see much movement. It's small. AFTER giving 25% or more throttle...then throttle cut ON...grab the plane, nose toward your belly, and then spin your whole body and the plane....watch the rudder. It should move the direction you're spinning the tail, so as to attempt to PREVENT the movement you're inducing. Then do the opposite direction. Look down the length of the plane. Watch close. It's subtle.

[@dradden1556]

I set up my Corsair with my nx8 following your set up. As I'm testing the control surfaces. when I move my elevator stick up and down my ailerons also move a little bit. Why do you think it would be doing that?

[@soxfox1176]

I’m on a DX8e and everything is setup except for the reverse thrust, I’m not sure how to get into the avian prog on a DX8e

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I don't know if you can, but for certain, you can use this tool to make the necessary changes, if you wish... Avian ESC Programmer Firmware Updater bit.ly/3PFWmZY BUT I'd just try it like we did it...just scroll over to the FAR RIGHT

Hi Brian Weres your battery placement on 4s thanks Kevin

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

Put it wherever you get the CG to work out. For us, and with many BNF Eflite planes, you can "get away with murder" with regard to battery placement, and still have the plane fly good. Just play with it and see what you like. CG is a technical spec, sure, but it also changes the way the plane flies, so make it fly the way you want.

[@kevinwestlake5305]

@ thanks Brian ive tried 4s 2200 and it seems nose heavy not sure if the cg is marked wrong I’ll keep playing around with it thanks Kevin

Best Rc cannel for lot of plains. How many plains do you think you built and fly it in your carrier as Rc Pilot? And witch plain do you remember still as your best first plan? Great videos, thanks allso to the camera crew. Swiss Alps flyer

[@BrianPhillipsRC]

I love too many planes to mention. For me, it's all about the most recent 10 or so planes, but I always come back to the Carbon Cub SS 2.1m and this sort of big plane.
