HOLY COW!!! This has to be one of the best looking Corsairs I have seen.I am a die hard US Marines paint scheme Corsair nut,but this aircraft is the most gorgeous one I think I have seen,and flown by an absolute "master".That flight was the most scale like r/c corsair flight ever! Your video expertise is as always most excellent!!Cheers from Kansas

[@ChrisB257]

What a beauty - and that gorgeous Moki sound too. Super low passes... including very nice slows as well. I just love the Corsair. Great flight - super video Horst.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

ChrisB257 _Hi Chris._ Well ... I really love this kind of flying. Some fast and low fly-bys mixed with slow hoovering. Top presented by "Helly". _Thank you for your great comments, Chris._ 👍😉

[@OldIronRC]

WOW! Horst fantastic video! That bird sings a sweet tune. Great sound. Lovely plane and flying. Nicely done.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

cyanidetube *_Thanks buddy._* _Glad to see you commenting on my video. Much appreciated ! ! !_ Have a great time and keep up posting videos. 😉👍

[@stevegem4155]

That is the best RC flight I've ever watched really enjoyed the slow speed handling this pilot knows what he's doing

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Steve Gem _Thank you for your kind comments and compliments, Steve. Much appreciated ! ! !_ 👍

[@SN1350]

What an excellent video. No music, no annoying announcer jacking his jaw, just sweet sound of a Moki 250. Thanks man. big thumbs up.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

SN1350 _Thank you for watching and commenting. Much appreciated !_

[@steveottavaino3804]

Superlative pilot, aircraft, and video. You can bet the stall indicator was going nuts during those low and slow passes!! Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Steve Ottavaino _Thank you for the compliments, Steve._ The stall factor wasn't critical at all. It was the right choice of speed to keep the baby flying without any problems. 👍😉

[@steveottavaino3804]

RCScaleAirplanes color me extremely impressed!!!

[@darkdom5439]

I've had a lot of pleasure to look at this demo .... pilote realy full of talent !!

[@dtem938]

Great video, no wind noise all gas! What a beautiful Corsair.

[@JP-ku9uy]

Et des Corsair de la l’aéronavale avec les rayures de l’opération sur Suez y’en a pas beaucoup ! Bravo aussi pour la maîtrise du vol. Les passages à basse vitesse sont de toute beauté. Merci pour ce beau moment d’aviation ! 🙏🙏🙏

[@christianharnisch3936]

Hello Horst, I have not been watching you for a long time ... but now I enjoy ... thank you Helly.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Josip Vrandecic _Hello my friend. Due to an influence I wasn't able to do some video editing. Now I will restart uploading more videos before the new season starts._ Thank you for your kind comments. Cheers, Horst

[@Freddo-oh5ki]

thats the most beautifull corsair I've ever heard

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

FS Hurricane _Thank you for the compliments !_

[@453421abcdefg12345]

Excellent ! Really nice flying in a wide range of speeds, very nice to see scale like speeds rather than the usual much too high speed we see now, lovely weather you had for this as well, those pylons and cables look very close ! Chris B.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Englishman French _Thank you for your great comments, Chris._ I fully agree about the fantastic piloting by _Helly._ The weather was perfect last autumn. About the power lines and pylons I have to say that some planes lost their lives because of colliding with. _Cheers, Horst_

[@ColeAviation]

AWESOME!! There’s no other sound like a Moki. 😉😃👍🏼Great video my friend!!!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

Chad Cole _THANKS BUDDY_ 😉 I'm glad to know that you liked the video ! _Cheers, Horst_

[@crosbyfite9340]

Correction: The F4U-7 was the model exported to france and france was the only operator until they were retired in the 60s. But great video!

[@f4u41]

Would have to be the best warbird I’ve seen and expertly flown

[@JP-ku9uy]

Magnifique Corsair français ! Bravo pour la beauté du spectacle ! Merci et chapeau !!

[@RTD1947]

Really nice flying, hope mine flies as nicely. Love the Falcon roll in your turnaround.

[@stump1897]

Just st amazed that the people that invest the time in building planes like this have such patience and skill to pilot. Meanwhile I'll trip over my feet walking.

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

[@MrJohn1966elliott]

I love any warplanes and bombers. My late daddy love it ❤️ He was World War 2, he was RAAF 2nd warrant officer, but he flew RAF B-24 bomber in South East Asia. 1940 to 1946.

[@flintcoat2596]

Please direct me to the link to your wing folding plans! They must exist, right! A hint would be appreciated!

[@RCScaleAirplanes]

This Corsair is from CARF Models carf-models.com/en/products/f4u-1d-corsair/id/301/region/1

[@SN1350]

Out of curiosity, how do you guys manage your flying fields in your country? Do you guys have clubs and if so, do you know how much is a typical fee for the members? I live in DFW area in Texas USA and the clubs around here charge outrageous fees and most of them have so many crazy rules that you really can’t enjoy flying anymore. For example, some fields around here are near housing communities and the residents bitch and complain about the noise. Like a DA-50 with stock muffler is too loud and you have to tune it down. Or we have fields that are closed down for 3-4 months out of the year. Hell, I have to drive 3-4 hours to another state in order to fly.

[@garygullikson6349]

Beautiful model , too bad , its not correct with the version , french navy had F4U-7 with the lower air inlet in the cowling.
