just have to have a rant and a whinge !!!! . this FMS corsair is a beautiful airframe , however i had to up the power to 5S and a different prop to suit 5S . as 4S was simply underpowered , the r...

thats the way . do the top as well if you can and dont forget the struts

in general the grass was not too long for flying , but it was hard to see the actuall strip runway . needs a mow for sure , but wont deter anyone for flying as its still quite short . [hr] in general ...

yep . the field can definaitely take big planes now . att ( gbanger, raptorfly and secantogive) i need to see some in the air so i can take my next direction in aircraft . LOL .

its a massive plane . cant wait to see this one . i'll probably be tempted to biuld one when i see this one flying .

I LOVE IT GEORGE . you can get the lipo series leads at hobbiels in the hills if you dont want to bother soldering . that plane looks like the perfect swept back EDF .

HMMM this was my thread . hope it helps , i havent read back through it yet . but one thing i can assure you , if built properly it will be very hard to fault . good purchase . http://forum.rcflying...

it had IT'S MAIDEN TODAY , it took off really well into a massive headwind and flew very stable , needed no trim at all ,a good guess at CG me thinks . flew for 3 minutes and landed with 3.86v per ce...

well i fitted a 14x7 APC 3 BLADED PROP . As if you run the standard 14x8 4 blade prop you'll draw too much current on 5s . There is a 3 bladed HUB , in the KIT . I should of tried that but i fo...

not a bad idea Gary , it's a MASTERSCREW 14x7 , by the way , the only reason i bought it from HK was the 13x8's were out of stock , and whats worse i just made another HK order , and what did i do , ...

here's the prop . gotta love the MX2 . this prop supplied about 5 seconds worth of low speed thrust in this config .

looking good . after the engine is mounted the rest is just setting up .

i just glued it on mate , full surface 5 min araldite and squeeze . i did drill 2 holes through it though and used blind nuts and screws as a 2nd measure . but really a good gluing wont come apart .

hey mate you fly that really well . , so much so that i must go and charge my batteries up and fly mine today . mine flies a lot faster than yours , i like your setup better , however the hotmelt glu...

awesome thanks mate , i often do the same here is one for the "c " rating of batteries http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/what_is_the_c_rate

looking forward to seeing these speed demons in the air , its even better that you have different setups in both to compare them , how exciting mate .

RIGHT O " i'm desperate for some feedback . HOW'D THE MAIDEN GO ?

nice one wayne . . it wont be slower with the 15x6 . but it will have about another kg of thrust :D

SOUNDS LIKE YOUR ON A WINNER THERE WAYNE . . well done . i have the week off and i'm looking forward to some flying .

nice one SMUZZ .

thanks for this thread guys . Jason thanks for the vids . i couldnt help myself to get on the sim and practice them LOL .
