Looks very good, but still needing some extras.
Cheers.

Some 'mini-bombs' maybe?
Very nice RC corsair, Nuno!

Yes, Ingrid.
Maybe a sound machine gun, lights and bombs.
It will be awesome.
Cheers.

The corsair`s maiden flight, sorry for the bad quality of the video, my sister filmed it, and she talks and screams too much, it can annoy sometimes. She also uploaded this video.
The landing was made by a friend of my father, because he is the expert and has 4 RC planes

Cheers.

The plane`s engine will have to be replaced by a more powerful one.
Because, in a normal and stable flight, the throttle will have to be in full power, so it`s just a matter of time until the engine will have a failure.
Thats the only thing that needs to be improved.
Every other detail and setting is good.
Cheers.

Here`s an update----Last month during a sunday flight, a strong wind surge came up, forcing the plane to ground.
It crashed with extreme violence. The front part of the fuselage and left wing are completely damaged. However the engine is still workable, with some work.
But seems my father will have to get a body for the plane.
Cheers.

What a shame , but you at least got to see it fly and i daresay it will again, next time though could you ask your sister not to drink so much when filming, it really makes the camera shake

Very nice Nuno!

The Corsair is one of my favorite aircraft. Sorry to hear that it crashed. I am sure that it will fly again.

Thank you all.
Im proud to say that the corsair is almost rebuilt.
The fuselage is fixed and ready, and is taking a new paint.
Also has a new and more powerful engine.
Meanwhile my father has been having fun with a new plane that he bought, upgraded it with a HD FPV camera.

Here`s a video, enjoy.
