Hello good people!

Reporting in to inform that I was totally successful in re-maiden my Hangar9 F4U-1D 50 size Corsair Electric!
Was rather windy but this almost 8-pound RC model was not affected in the least! Wind was straight down the runway from the South and it helped in landings as this model has no flaps and really doesn’t need them.

For those that have NOT been following my Repair Adventures on this model then, here are the links to follow along:

All it required was two clicks of down trim!

The F4U Corsair was flown with the 5-Cell, 4,000mAH 30C Turnigy and two 4-Cell, 4000mAH 30C GForce Elite Series Lithium Polymers!

It was a delightful Wednesday morning and stayed about 3 hours!

Hello again!

Providing some Flight Characteristics using the 4-Cell versus the 5-Cell, 4,000mAH 30C Lithium Polymer battery packs.

The 4-Cell packs provided a lighter feel of the model and was comfortable with slower flight and maneuvers while at a slower flight routine....Continue Reading

Hello good people!

Was super lucky and acquired a super nice and Brand New (In-the-Box) Hangar9 F22 Raptor PTS. This is the Gray version and it came in record time all the way from White Rock, New Mexico via FEDEX Ground and came one day earlier (on a Saturday)!

This one will be Electric as well!

Hello good people!

Happy Friday!

After a little over two (2) weeks, off and on, in-between work, home and family obligations I have finally got my beloved Hangar9 F4U-1D 50-size Corsair Electric powered RC Model all flight worthy after extensive checks and verification of structure, covering and control surfaces plus retract function.

Hangar9 F4U 1D 50 Size Post Right Wing Repairs and Electric Motor Box Repairs 05 08 2020 (2 min 12 sec)

Okay, good people! Decided to keep working on my beloved (discontinued) Hangar9 F4U-1D 50-size Electric and started on the damages on the FUSE which thankfully were just Electric Motor Box damages during the one year ago crash contact with the Right Wing Assembly and that ugly tree on final approach.

As you will see in the following pictures, the FUSE really came out great during that crash (This is a very strong model).
