He was lucky to save it. She was definitely tail heavy. But awesome plane. Nice video buddy 👍 👊💥👊

[@GBLynden]

I remember you pointing out the broken wing right after that landing preventing them from putting it up in the air again after that! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

He was behind the curve that whole flight. The plane was flying him.

[@GBLynden]

Yep! I will say I hope I can still be flying when I am his age. He is a great guy too!

[@themadhondaguy2090]

Who was the pilot? They didn’t seem very experienced at all, who flies a whole flight with the flaps and the gear down… Also it doesn’t seem like the builder put any thrust angle into the engine mount it was constantly trying to roll over to the left the whole flight. Aside from the now broken wing that guy as a lot of other issues to address.

[@GBLynden]

I am wondering if it was a rushed maiden at the Warbird event we were at. The pilot is experienced, but was it first flight showing all of the details that were not dialed in. You make some good points about the flaps and retracts, but only he knows lol 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@thercjetjock6571]

Great video!! Beautiful plane, he seemed to have his hands full!!

Thank you! Yep, it was the maiden flight and there were some miscalculations for sure lol

[@dsarnson]

Nice stuff GB! But this makes it even more worrisome for me to maiden my Giant Corsair!! Its been ready to go for over a year, need to get up the courage!!

[@GBLynden]

Corsairs are great flyers and it is rare for a maiden to go this poorly! I am not sure why it was so tail heavy and the other issues, but all of the other large Corsairs I have seen flew great! 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@buttcrack7784]

@@GBLynden I’ve seen, not just this video but others too, about aircraft being tail heavy or nose heavy. Don’t RC flyers check the center of gravity to make sure it’s in the proper range before flying? I’m not trying to be a smart guy or rude. I’m genuinely curious. It’s something we do with full scale manned aircraft to ensure that we don’t have controllability issues.

[@JohnHill-jm7tm]

GB awesome plane and great video. No way this Old Man from Washington NC would have recovered. Had me shacking just watching 🤣. Say hi to Darci for me. ✈️🧔💝

[@airhammer6203]

Wheww!!!!

[@GBLynden]

It was a wild ride, wasn’t it? 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@johnstevens9732]

I noticed at the very start of the video that the right aeileron was flapping in the prop wash. Way too much flap at takeoff causing lots of drag. I don't see a wing broken after landing but that plane definitely has issues.

[@GBLynden]

Great observation on the flopping ailerons. As far as the broken wing goes, it is on the wing root after the final landing. It is on the viewer’s left side as it is taxiing back towards the camera 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@marward]

My heart goes out to the pilots. I have the same plane and it's quite challenging to fly. And landings are nothing short of hair-raising. The wing loading is too high to "cut and flop" (cut the throttle and flop to the ground). It tip-stalls easily -- as it did in this video -- and the sheer weight of that beast makes damage inevitable. Nice camera work though.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you! I am the guy on the cameras, so I appreciate the positive feedback on the video 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@1stMarine]

What brand is this model?

[@GBLynden]

Great question Glen! I am not sure, but hopefully Mike answers that for you 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@comicstuff5031]

U got any prewar planes like the f3f?.

[@GBLynden]

Hi there! I do not as most of what I have are foam and pretty common planes 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@payitfwdrcl6171]

Ryan. Very nice Corsair. Those planes you got to get that tail flying on takeoff as well as flying it all the way to the ground on landing. Great recovery at the end. Hope you and the boys at your way are doing well. I miss seeing all y’all flying together. 👊💥👊.

[@GBLynden]

Thank you Brad! This was from the past summer at our local Warbird event and as soon as things get warmer, we will be having fun with Bill and the rest of the Crew 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@DiegoDalmir]

good night, very beautiful plane but the pilot too weak in piloting

[@GBLynden]

The center of gravity was very tail heavy making it hard to control, along with a few other things. Thank you for watching 👊🏻💥👊🏻

[@warbirdflyerF4U]

Great plane Why you didn't have it balanced better is a mystery Also as the owner of several corsairs they do not like flaps on take off at all Just a suggestion

[@GBLynden]

It is a great suggestion. I was just the cameraman for this plane/flight and I agree. This father/son duo likes to live on the edge.

[@RuudyL]

Sorry but I do not see a broken wing. Is this a click bate video??

[@GBLynden]

No sir! Look at the wing root on the left side after the landing. It gets more and more clear as the plane gets closer to the camera.

[@daxdadog]

The break is on the left side of our screen, but it's on the right wing.

[@themadhondaguy2090]

It’s still the right side of the airplane even if your viewing it head on…

[@dslcp72]

WHAT broken wing? 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@GBLynden]

Yep, snapped it and destroyed the plane.

[@jeffs7915]

Listen to the sound! So much like a 2 stroke, just kidding, it's tiresome to hear the amount of praise for radials by the minimally informed. Scale RC aircraft are not judged by sound but on construction details. Most of the radials which are beautiful planes and have good scale detail wouldn't be competitive models. Even though radial reliability has improved, they are still more labor intense regarding maintenance, compared to 2 strokes. I would select the most reliable engine for a scale model that has 1000's of work hours in it.

[@GBLynden]

The chain saw sound flying through the air is annoying for many, including me. Electric is the way to go for most and I hope it trends that way. Few things are worse than some prick firing up a chain saw when you are in the middle of recorded an elegant flight.

[@GiantScaleDave]

"Some prick firing up a chainsaw" comment made me laugh . This Corsair now resides in Idaho near Boise I bought it from Mike some time ago and it just might get a UMS180 radial on it after it gets a complete inspection and test flight.
