Top-Flite Giant size P-40 warhawk

[@geopapas1]

Beautiful aircraft! Great scale takeoff! Thanks for the video!

Great model. You did a good job on the landings. I just maidened mine. You really have to be just right on landings to keep it from jumping back up on touch down. That can be a disaster.

[@KillerKev1961]

That looks like a real nice flying model.

[@71259mark]

I agree. Or if nothing else, turn them off just as you touch down to help prevent bobbing back up again and again.

Beautiful model and nicely flown especially for a maiden. Can't believe it could handle the low speeds so well at the 2:32 mark. I suppose there was some headwind too. I have an electric Black Horse P-40C Tomahawk 60 size ready to maiden. I hope it goes as well as yours!! Congratulations.

Nice job man, I have got to get one soon...

[@KillerKev1961]

A little bouncy on touchdown, but with your smooth approaches you can mellow it out. Nice job Bub

[@kochj0713]

also ....using Throttle to control Decent, and ELevator to Control speed.... I know it sounds backwards, but it works great for smooth tuchdowns no matter the conditions.

Thanks for the compliment, unfortunately as in all home movies the cameraman never gets videoed. I do actually fly myself but it would be kind of a challenge to fly a plane and shoot video at the same time:) If anyone in Vegas is reading this comment I would love them to use my rig and videotape me myself flying.

I really admire the flyer of having such patience, but as an advise, use minimum of flaps in such high winds to reduce lift while landing and keep the speed on a little higher end.....low flaps would let the plane to drop down and little high speed would let the momentum on the wheels.......

[@shreddinjoe]

most times I land my P51 with no more than half flaps..or no flaps in a head wind..this p40 floats..it will land great with no flaps, or you will need to keep a little throttle with flaps and fly it to the ground, and keep the flare as long as possible..makes for greaser landings everytime

[@1ramus1]

very nice

[@CarlLydickRC]

Beautiful plane. Touch and goes on a maiden flight? On most of my maidens if I get it down in one piece I don't make another attempt ;-)

[@68speedfreeek]

nice p-40

[@jetlongextra]

In that windy day,is it better to land without flaps?Thanks.

[@SrPrOn]

just a word: with this warbirds you need to approach in the first quarter of the runway, not 3/4 of it. then you need more throttle and steady fight for the touchdown. if performed correctly it will run at least a quarter of runway with its tail up. watch some WWII videos

[@scottconnors7901]

i too dont use flaps on a windy day, better with out, and i dont use full flaps on takeoff, why? nose over is not good for prop. still a great flight.

[@kiwidecon]

What scale is that bird?

[@garyashton5928]

I wouldnt be hauling it around the sky with full flap on and full power Flaps are only deployed on final

[@SOLDOZER]

Jesus this guy sucks at landing. Maybe time to get back on the .40 trainer.

[@charlieswain4641]

You, my friend, are an asshole! I would keep my mouth shut, until and unless, I had flown one of these particular aircraft! These are a handful on landing!
