That first take off with the Corsair into the setting sun, with a return, billowing clouds in the background, where crepuscular rays fanned the sky was beautiful.

[@tyosborne4870]

You are the rare person who can crash a warbird and have no critical damage. That just doesn't happen. Awesome flight!!

[@DadsRCHangar]

Another beautiful Corsair. I am totally amazed that she was not broken. Kind of scary about the blade of grass going through the foam. The big man was with you today. Have a great weekend guys. 🙏🏻

[@TheRcSaylors]

Well said RC Hangar!! Thanks so much for tuning in 👍😁 Have a great weekend! 😎⚓️

[@darkiee69]

Nate: It's really easy, if it has fins it's a bomb, if not, it's a drop tank for extended range. And the Corsair was a fighter, not a torpedo bomber. 😉

[@ethanallison2260]

This why I love this channel y’all show real rc the hood and the bad we all learn from mistakes

[@gregkennedy3368]

I have always loved the look of the Corsair and the history behind it.The Corsair was the first rc plane I ever owned and flew and even though I love the plane I wouldn't recommend starting with this plane

[@dhart28]

You lucked out! I really enjoy your videos. I remember when I was a kid...about 10 years old. My parents bought me a Cox .049 control line Corsair. Not long after Christmas, my Dad and Grandpa took me to the local school parking lot to fly it. I wanted my Dad to fly it first...Things didn't end well. He got around 1 complete revolution, then did a wingover after Dad got dizzy, and it slammed into the pavement at full speed. There wasn't much left of it after that. :-(

[@JustPlaneNutzRC]

Had the exact same experience with my dad at my local school, mid to late 80's 🤣

[@cashus68]

In the korea war there really used these alot , they are disposable drop tanks put on for range , the corsair flys best naked with just 6 50 cal guns :)

[@kevinouellette1893]

Wow !! That plane is unbelievably tuff!! I can’t believe it wasn’t totally smashed! Good stuff! Thank god for that tall grass, it saved the plane for sure

[@kentbarnes1955]

As a "Scale" guy I love when you all do warbirds. Still amazed that crash didn't cause more "issues". Even the "change" in CG due to the battery slide didn't seem to be a negative (but maybe that's because of pure pilot skill). The "Big Guy" was certainly looking after you today. Yes Abby, tornado's can do crazy things...I've seen lots of photos of blades of grass embedded in or "through" actual wood boards.

[@daveshupak9840]

I can't believe how much better foam planes hold up to crashes than the balsa planes I grew up on!

[@glitch00011]

I can't believe that bird survived that hit. Impressed !!

[@robstanton9215]

That’s one tough bird! Corsairs being my all time favorite airplane, a few notes. They all need nose weight. Notice how it flew pretty good when the battery was crammed forward. With a 4 blade prop you have more “P” factor which is the torque effect from the direction of rotation of the motor/engine to the aircraft and the reason you need rudder input on the take off roll. Plus it’s a big ass taildragger, so it wants to ground loop. Dance on them rudder pedals 😂 or in this case stick. Corsairs will most certainly pull off inverted flight as well as aerobatic maneuvers. They were designed to dogfight Japanese Zeros. It takes a little bit of practice though. These inverted gull wing planes with forward vertical stabs fly like the real thing. They will stall and spin on you in a heartbeat. You can’t ever stop flying the plane. If it does stall and drop a wing, remember your rudder is the way out NOT your ailerons. Opposite rudder and down elevator until it begins flying again then you can pull up. Same as the real thing. Nice job overall guys!!!

[@myksanchez1222]

Yeah I'm going to stick to my Apprentice S2 lol.

That really means a lot to us, thank you 👍 It’s been a crazy weekend and this was just nice to hear. Hope you have a great weekend! 😎⚓️

[@zackbaustian7853]

Can't wait for mine to arrive!! Ordered it a month ago and was supposed to arrive today..just checked the tracking and will be Monday now. BOOO! Oh well, been waiting a month for it to release what's another weekend. Love your videos Saylors!!

[@myksanchez1222]

I'm seeing them at all of my LHS'. Sooooo tempting...

[@n8nkqrp595]

There is nothing I love more than to hear Abby gasp from behind the camera and say "what did you deeuuuu!!!" Nate, really nice scale flying. Very pretty. Be proud- you walked away from one of the scariest looking crashes I've ever seen! Be well guys :)

[@scottwells7797]

i cant believe how lucky that was......hardly a scratch.....i wish all the hobby accidents ended like that....Great Job

[@richardjensen2769]

Robin Williams "hit the Nail Square and True," when he said, "Gravity Works."

[@sirhilsam]

Tall grass is your friend...absorbs impact even if it impales your flaps. Abby's loosening of the landing gear exercises saved it from snapping off. Excellent scale flight Nate.

[@deweylee2449]

Something I think you should remember is that with safe on or not in order to get the plane to trim you can not do any inputs for at least 3 seconds after the trim commands. The trims will not take affect if you do anything with the sticks . I've always got the plane high enough to not worrie and do my trim and count one thousand, two thousand and 3 thousand before touching the sticks. You will notice then that the trims will take hold immediately. But if you touch the sticks before the 3 seconds you do nothing when you trim. Thats the way it is with all spectrum recivers.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I absolutely love WW2 era planes. Great video guys

[@johnmajane3731]

Amazing that it survived with basically no damage. Good selling point.

[@NHfiddle]

I used to fly the "Royal" Corsair.Big wooden model with a 60 size gas engine, Mine was an F4U-1 and yours is an F4U-4. Great flying and the thing of it is that these models fly like the "real" thing, so there are some things that these can and will not do.

[@BudgetFriendly215]

I have 5 planes and have crashed every last one of them…you’re a lot like me when you crash you know it’s a part of the game…awesome flights my friend

[@michaelgautreaux3168]

Fantastic! That bird is as tuff as the original. Super vid 👍👍

[@StumpkillerCP]

Nice! I like it. SAFE is great if you have a three second warning things are going to go amiss. Wide hammerhead is a wing over.

[@truenaturestormers2525]

Wow lucky lucky, so happy the plane is ok

[@spookers3147]

Don't you love how the plane looks very sturdy and durable but then watch a blade of grass cut through the flaps 😆

[@montefranklin5720]

You all are awesome!! Keep up the good work!! Enjoy watching you guys!!

[@TheRcSaylors]

Thank you very much! 👍😁😎⚓️

[@murrayperry7111]

Wow totally fine after the crash . " Awesome" Nice aircraft. Great job.👍😀

[@-b1ghorn087]

You guys have given our little airport a second lease on life. Just doesn’t see that many planes until now

[@Killerplanes]

OK- that’s pretty awesome that it didn’t break! All of a sudden I need one of those! It seems gravity is VERY strong where I live…

[@ImaPilot100]

Hey Steve, you sure it didn't have a "SUPERMAX Crashproofing kit " already in it. 😃

[@robertkbrooks951]

I LOVE Mine. Fully decaled with Marine insignia's. VMF-214. Pappy Boyington's F4-U. They are Drop Tanks. I removed that Safe Mode Receiver. Fly's like a dream. Hauls Azz.

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Corsair has got to be my Favorite! Such a distinctive profile! Black Sheep squadron? Auxiliary fuel tanks Bro. MAY DAY! MAY DAY!😂Always a pleasure you 2. Right On 👊

[@TheTootie52]

CORSAIR my FAVORITE Warbird!! Very durable AND LOVE the CRASH!! GREAT job Saylors!! 💟👍😘

[@thebestofj.fraley]

3:21 it is said, and was shown in many movies, that the Japanese saw this sight just before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They saw this as a symbol of good fortune because of the resemblance to their flag. I think you should line the port side of the plane with little Japanese flags and put the name Maj. Greg "Papy" Boyington above the flags 😅

[@tvav83]

Great flying..been waiting for a new Corsair!!..only thing it they just don’t look right flying inverted..otherwise great vid👍🏼👍🏼

[@pdtech4524]

Cool plane, looks nice and scale, flies well and survived that hard crash⚠️😲👍

[@rcaviationcrawling7351]

Unbelievable! Self-repairing gear! Amazing and WONDERFUL you were able to fly her again immediately. Awesome Saylors! 👍👍

[@donnyh3497]

I think that that last minute hard nose down while inverted saved that thing from coming in unsurvivably steep. Tough plane .

[@EastCoastLtd]

Wow, that was some crash. AMAZING there's no damage. Worth buying just because it's tuff!

[@davidsapir3764]

OMG the sky in this video looks so incredible.

[@dalekelley3003]

Any Landing you can fly away from is a great landing. Now that's entertainment 🤣. The Meek shall inherit the earth, and the earth will impale your Flaps with a blade of grass

[@michaelreyes8670]

I think the tall grass cushioned the crash. Amazing a blade of grass puncturing the flaps.

Awesome Warbird 🔥 One of my favorites for sure. Can't believe it survived that crash 😱 Didn't even brake the prop WoW. Thank God you hit the tall weeds instead of the runway 😆 Cool vid guy's 🔥👍✌️

[@walk4718]

Great that there was such little damage. Y’all’s banter was really cute 😃

[@darnmg]

I bought mine days before they announced the 4s one. Still flies great though and with only 3s available to me it forces scale flight. oh, and Comander has relegated my Trojan to second go to plane 😊

[@jerretwiens26]

Love those retracts!

[@lkncatfish7586]

for anyone that have not flown a corsair. they stall at slower speeds due to the gull wings. so, you do want to get the tail up and build some/not alot more speed before take off. And flaps on landings... thx for the video

[@RedVote]

Wow! Such great detail in some of these RTF/BNF foam models; which was unheard-of years ago. It hit a a decent speed, I'm glad it did that good; I sure you was in Acro mode. Thanks!

[@johnsorensen5758]

Nice nate that's the hardest plane to take off and land when you get good at it everything else is easy and it's always nice when they survive the crashes if my planes could talk I'm sure they would be saying oh no it's him again🤣

I thought it was going to be toast! Can’t believe the gear actually fixed itself just by cycling it once!!! Tough plane, just like the real ones!

[@capnhardway]

I haven't seen the crash yet, but I have to say the beautiful background of the sunset was amazing! I hope it isn't totalled. Keep em' Flyin'!

[@sublimeguy]

Yes abby a pine needles,stiff grass,etc..... will impale trees and other things In strong tornados. I know that sounds ridiculous to some ,but you have to remember the energy is distributed through the entire pine needle. That is why they say not to play outside even if it's a safe distance because the wind can/will turn numerous things into small missiles. Be safe and Godspeed my friends.

[@jerretwiens26]

I can't believe the results of the crash! Amazing!!

The Corsair is my favorite plane of the single-engine war birds and the p-61 black widow is my favorite of the 2 engine warbirds.

[@baeschler]

That was intense! Thought it was in a hundred pieces. Tough plane.

[@gannonelkins5134]

To not be nervous when flying do I just have to get used to crashing and fixing before I can get more comfortable flying? Love your videos!

[@dustinwilson492]

Yes! Crashing is inevitable so try to enjoy them. Laugh it off and fix your plane. Learning with a cheap plane helps. And pusher planes usually give you more chances to practice before you have to scrap the plane.

[@gannonelkins5134]

@@dustinwilson492 thank you!!!!!

[@highdesertgummie]

Nate...Lucky, Lucky, Lucky!!! Corsairs were tough in real life too...many survived combat against skilled and accurate pilots... They look like fuel drop tanks, carried fuel to extend range and flight time... Please don't fly into Abby, she might drop the camera! 😂😂😂

[@jacksemporiumofstuff]

+1 on the drop tanks. And yes, another wife who will even pretend to care about rc stuff would be hard to come by!

Sunrise or sunset? Beautiful scenery

[@inkycat7167]

I can’t believe they didn’t know the flaw of the inverted gull wing,they stall if you do something with rolling like a Canopy roll.

[@inkycat7167]

It was not the flying, if that was a P-51 it wouldn’t have crashed due to the wing stall

That is an impressive tribute to its ruggedness. The real Corsairs were known for being a rugged plane as well, so it is truly scale in that asepct as well!

[@randomsucks2444]

The coursair is my favourite plane, built a big balsa wood plane when I was younger. Still miss it. What is the price

[@twain772]

those are exterior fuel tanks to increase the flight range for deep enemy territory missions

"I think you hit a bird." LOLOL I watched the later video first, and now see how you bent the pitot tube I'd noticed in that one, with your flap free landing antics at the end here. ;) Really nice plane!

[@andrewfrost4802]

I just ran across your videos sweet content man you and your girl are doing a awesome job so far I've liked every video I watch and I am a new follower now thanks to you for everything you guys do and Monday I will be purchasing my new sonic wave boat thank you..

[@johnberrios4255]

I have both the Eflite P51D 1.5 and the corsair and its their wing loading. If doing that lazy slow barrell roll which is very cool to do, you need to carry speed with it. You hit the nail on the head by saying you are used to the cubs and high wing planes those have alot more wing loading. War birds especially the P51 have alot of torque or P-factor and you adjusted for that quickly on the Corsair. And yes its a tough little bird I have had more than a few hard landings on the gear and it has stood up. I fly off of grass and it not always very manicured. BTW love you guys. Both of you are a great team.

[@terryyarnall9495]

[@jbrundt]

looked like an accelerated stall, very common with warbirds when you get too slow during a maneuver, especially at the top side of a loop when you don't have enough speed.

I bought an older version without safe with an ar636 receiver, as i am a new flyer i would not take it up, when HH rereleased it, I bought the receiver and esc that fit the new one.
