Nice Job Sir lookin good. The Bent Wing Bastard or Whistling Death. You did a Great job... Remember these Birds served in the Pacific on the deck of Carriers or parked outside on a Dirt Or Muddy Airfield on a island. Salty air and salt water spray. Nothing looks better than a Battle Hardened War Bird.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for your Comment! I am loving all the documentaries and footage available on these birds! So fun hearing the stories and seeing the footage! Thanks for watching!

I've watched this build from start to finsh!! and have got to say you did an amazing job!! and the weathering job you have done is second to none!! fantastic build series, fantastic job and fantastic Corsair!! I take my hat off to you sir : )

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thank you Ian! I really appreciate your comments and feedback! I'm excited to see this thing in the air and have some stick time on it.

[@kazama6245]

OH snap!! I have not seen this PRO-jet video before! Very nice video! Never cease to amaze! 👍🏼

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks a ton!

The most informative RC aircraft weathering video out there.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Gary! Funny, when i got up this morning the pictures popped up on FB from 1 year ago from the weathering! Thanks for watching.

[@Mistal7]

Great build series, and especially like the Weathering Howto. Am close to finishing a Byron Corsair I started 30 years ago (Got distracted with other models and life), and this has helped immensely. Thank you!

[@thelightersideofrc]

That is awesome! Thanks for watching Jim!

Looks beautyful, thanks for sharing this video and your knowledge. Now i have ideas to weather my son's Top Flite Mustang👍😎

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for Watching and your comments! On these warbirds it sure makes it look more "real".

[@boofnoof1602]

i need to see this run and fly! looking amazing mate

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! Once the weather co-operates around here we will get to maiden all of these builds and there will definitely be video of them!

[@terryshields2192]

Nice video. Ignore the FB grammar jerks about 'decals'. Question however. I thought the control services were fabric covered so would show paint fade and not metal wear. This is a question and not a criticism. Good job.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks Terry! Yea your absolutely right. I will be building another one of these. Might not be weathering it but that's a great detail!

[@joecj840]

Hey there, I think your work is really awesome (understatement) for lack of a better word. It really gives the right kind of metallic look to the plastic (or plywood, not sure what it is) but just by looking at the video I can't really tell. If you could upload some stills under different lighting conditions that will really bring out the effect that you are trying to create that would be very helpful. Thanks,

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks for watching and the compliment! 😊. The plane center wing is fiberglass and the rest of the plane is light wood with covering. So a mix of surfaces. The final result was awesome. Really doesn’t show its beauty in video or photos.

[@thilofrisch9894]

Wow you have some cool skills ! That looks awesome !

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks 😊

[@DanielMigneault]

Thank you for those tips, my Fokker eindecker 90 will profit them.

You Corsair is wunderful built with an fitting design. This plane is not so easy to fly.

Thanks CHKSIX! Happy with the final result and more importantly so was the owner! Delivered it the past Saturday.

Awesome

[@thelightersideofrc]

Thanks! 😎

[@glenncozzens2453]

Two questions about weathering - my apologies if this has been covered. 1. Is the enamel paint you use fuel proof for Gas and Kerosene? 2. Do you use anything to glue down the Callie graphics so they don't come off?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Enamel will be mostly fuel proof. Clear coat over it helps a ton. Nothing added for the graphics to hold down but clear installed afterwards.

[@glenncozzens2453]

[@bobturner3388]

Great video thank you but........it’s DECAL (sounds like dee-kal)

HAHA! Thanks Bob. I'm always Learning😉

[@richardwylie07]

In your part of the world perhaps...

[@wasabii4]

The Corsair in your reference picture must be the one in the Fleet Air Arm museum in the UK. It looks that beaten up because it was repainted a different scheme in its service history and later the old scheme was restored for the museum.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Very Cool! Thanks for sharing that!

Hi Jonathan, I really enjoyed this vid. I am a massive fan of the Corsair, and the Sea Fury if I'm honest, but that thing looks fantastic. I am only pretty new to your channel, and thought you only worked with jets. I know that layers are one of the secrets to weathering, and you did just that and it came up a treat. I have weathered lots of static models before, but I have never done it to any of my RC models. I think probably due to cost of the models but what price is realism? I wonder tho, have you or any of those you know ever weathered any of your $20K jets? Thanks for a wonderfully detailed and in-depth, and enjoyable tutorial - you have me thinking now about applying these techniques to some models in my hanger! Cheers mate.

[@thelightersideofrc]

Hello Murray! Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching and checking things out. For Flying I really enjoy turbine aircraft but for repairs and building it's basically anything goes and I enjoy it all. The New project (The PC-6) is a great example! Regarding weathering yea it looks great on most aircraft. I agree it's hard to do sometimes just purely based on the cost but there are planes, Like this corsair that just look proper with weathering. About 2 years ago now I did weather a 25K skymaster F18 1/6th scale jet. It absolutely transformed the airplane. Unfortunately this was before I started posting on KZbin so no video of it. I do have some pics of the process and it's pretty dramatic! If you want to see them shoot me an email [e-mail] and I will send you some!

[@hoangchris9413]

Hello , which brand are the landing gear ? because I am really disappointed by the robarts I have only problems with and not even fly yet robart have already changed one to me last year and both are burn and I just plugged in to take them out for the settings !!! is really one problème this gear and they are no longer guaranteed ....

[@thelightersideofrc]

This is the Robart gear but it was converted by Down and Locked.

I would like to know what a deckl is? do you mean decals?

It really a glorified sticker

[@IansRCExploits]

P.S. Will you likely to be doing any more War birds ?

[@thelightersideofrc]

Most of my builds are other peoples planes. SOOO it really depends on who asks me to build something for them and what they are into. So quite possibly yes.

[@IansRCExploits]

Ok thanks for your reply.

[@brucebeamer2298]

Would the 7 cylinder 55cc fit in this bird?

The Evolution? I have seen a couple vids with that engine in this airframe. Converted from nitro to gas. Sounds amazing and fits!

It’s distracting to watch hearing the word “deckle”. But I like the work.

What stand are you using

[@thelightersideofrc]

They are called “portable work stands”. Very common in the aircraft world here in Canada. We get them at “princess auto” locally. Here is a link to them if it works. www.princessauto.com/en/detail/330-lb-portable-work-stand/A-p8303125e

Did i just hear you say that the CONTROL SURFACE was in the wing in the way??? SERVO!!! SERVE-OH!!!! That little cover is for the aileron SERVO NOT THE CONTROL SURFACE!!!! The surface is behind the trailing edge of the wing...... its called the AILERON!!!! How on earth did you build this if you don't even know what's what??? Smdh.......

Wow no kidding! I can’t believe I can even get these things assembled with verbal diarrhea like that! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheCorezero00]

@@thelightersideofrc seriously when the instructions say to mount the control surface to the trailing edge of the wing...... if you really don't know the difference..... then...... how???? I haven't watched this whole build, i just clicked on this video just now..... so pardon me for being just a bit confused...... you misidentify the panel that was in the way of that deckel(?) And then claim that is the canadian pronunciation??? Really my only exposure to Canadian language differences is Ave's channel....... and i hardly notice any difference with his pronunciations......i meant no disrespect but calling the servo the surface really confused me........

[@brucebeamer2298]

Sorry 35cc

[@thelightersideofrc]

Yea but I don’t think it would fly it. This 57 may be marginal. Full plane weight will be in next vid but it’s about 35lbs no fuel.

I’m sure you’ve received a thousand comments on pronunciation of “D-cals”! It isn’t “Dekels”. I cringe that you’re an adult and mispronounce one of the most widely used terms in the model hobby! Not “Dekel”. 90% of your visitors left before your video was over. Sorry. Figure it out.

[@thelightersideofrc]

i'm going to assume your located in the US. Just imagine for a moment that people all over the world use different pronunciations for various words and it's OK that they do! I fly with my American friends all the time and they call a Turbine a 👳Turbin engine and I don't waste my energy trying to make them use the alternative pronunciations. Because they can all it what ever the heck they want! We call them Roof's and some folks call them RUFF's. I call it Milk and others call it MALK. Thanks for watching and for your concern over how I pronounce words! Glad someone cares so deeply!
