GIANT but SUPER LIGHT INDOOR FLIGHT 1:4 SCALE RC F4U CORSAIR (FOLDING WINGS / TWIST & TURN RETRACTS)

GIANT but SUPER LIGHT INDOOR FLIGHT 1:4 SCALE RC F4U CORSAIR (FOLDING WINGS / TWIST & TURN RETRACTS)
Jürgen Schönle, a member of the DMFV Indoor Team performing at the Leipzig Modell-Hobby-Spiel Trade Fair, amazes the crowd at Modell-Hobby-Speil Trade Fair with an indoor flight of his 1:4 scale F4U Corsair. This model is built from extremely light depron foam and is powered by a motor with a gearbox which powers a balsa prop. The battery powering the model is a 3S2200 pack ! Wingspan of this model is 3.1 metres and total weight is 4KG. Jurgen is not only a master builder but an ace pilot and it was a pleasure to film this magnificent model in action.
IMPORTANT: Contrary to wide belief these models are not filled with helium. They are built with extremely light materials so the result is a model aircraft that has a very light wing loading that enables them to fly in tight spaces such as the exhibition hall at this event.
A video showing some of the building techniques in this model can be found here:

Why not try to make your own light weight models from Depron. Material available here: www.bay-tec.de...
Filmed by Dom Mitchell at Leipzig Modell-Hobby-Spiel Trade Fair for the 'Essential RC' KZbin channel using the Panasonic AG-UX180 Pro 4K camcorder.

As a corsair fan and US navy veteran, I totally appreciate the workmanship in this aircraft. Very well done!

[@PBFSENSOR]

My father was the chIef electrical inspector for Chance-Vought Corsairs. He brought me to the CT factory many times. I saw hundreds of Corsairs come out the factory. door, power-up and take off over the Sound. Thee F4U`s headed to Britain were painted all white with the names of the workers` kids painted in black on the tails. I learned to fly at 14 when I flew a Stearman cropduster up`n here mountains with a Texas jock. In those days we didn`t bother with a license. We just flew.

[@mikegeorge5473]

That is by far the coolest indoor f4u corsair I've ever seen....

[@ORTHODOX-PATH]

@@jonbrooks6748 IT CANNOT FLY Outdoors??

@@ORTHODOX-PATH Probably could, but if it can fly that slowly indoors I'd guess it's incredibly light and would be very susceptible to the wind.

[@EnglishTurbines]

@StealthyMonk Nope, its just a very low wing loading.

[@raygxr8582]

That is the closet, most realistic flight I’ve seen from an RC plane. The engine power here is perfect, giving it a sense of a realistic power to weight ratio. Awesome!

[@dougalexander5871]

My late father flew the Corsair in the Pacific in WWII. He loved the AC and built beautiful models of them too. He would have loved this, as do I. (The sound effects really enhance the experience, I must say) Thanks for keeping the Corsair alive!

How its done... big indoor rc planes weigh next to nothing, made mostly of foam. They dont fly fast because they dont need much lift.

He's also geared down the prop using a helicopter gearbox IIRC.
