Great reivew mate. I find landing on the shorter grass with belly landers is better as they slide along instead of getting tangled.

Remember all that stuff I was telling you about flying the p51 1.5m…those details make a difference.

you are exactly right bro, some planes land different than others. just keep doing what your doing . you are getting way better. your almost caught up to me. lol jk. everybody crashes. no matter who you are. its how you learn brother..

Like all tail dragging War Birds, you need to get on right rudder, slow consistent increase in throttle with the nose slightly down during takeoff so it won't get airborne too soon and stall. On landing, you must fly it level and land on the mains only with power, no floping it down while flarring. Took me months to figure that out as well. I land my FW Spitty, flaps or even no flaps in a stff headwind at 32% throttle and level, once mains touch throttle down. My FW Corsair lands at 45% throttle with extreme landing flap deflection. Completely opposite of EDF's. Once you see how nice and smoothly that works, you'll never go back to flaring it in and crashing more often than not. Saves in gear repair as well as I initially went through them like Kleenex. Now one set of gear (especially on Corsairs) last forever. 😂 Go to end to see a powered landing on a Corsair, which is the same for Spitfire: kzitem.info/news/bejne/y2aCk2WEaZ2ggZw

@@hughwiedman9711 Thank you for you help here, that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. I tried landing like a T-28 or maybe like an EDF. You’re right it’s totally different. Lots of people comment that I should go back to trainer planes but I think they’re missing the point that every plane lands different. If I fly an apprentice for two years, I’ll only be good at flying apprentices. Every plane flies different and you have to learn that particular plane if you want to fly it well. Thanks again for the help.

@@JetGuyProductions Right on Brother. Don't listen to any negativity. I learn more from crashing and trying aircraft beyond my present ability than staying safe. Once you figure out how to take off and land tail dragging warbirds you'll realize it's a breeze. Make sure on take off you get on rudder and elevator quickly. They immediately veer left from prop wash rotating from right-left under fuselage and hitting the left side of the rudder. Once tail comes up it's more pronounced, but don't gun yet, make sure with elevator control you're level, or better yet 2-4 degrees down, then accelerate smoothly and give it up elevator only after significant ground speed. The warbirds, especially the Spitty and Corsair, love to take off before sufficient ground speed, especially if you have a slight up attitude, but then they quickly stall and fall to the left. Also, balance it at nose heavy manual recommendations, flies horrible even slightly tail heavy. And I fly all my EDF's at least 20-40mm tail heavy, but not prop warbirds. With that Spitty, I use a SMC HiV 5900 and still have 2-3 ounces lead in nose. Flies for 12 minutes. 🤙

Once the speed drops on landing approach you need to keep the nose pointing slightly down. As soon as you pull up elevator to bring the plane closer to the touchdown point ( because you are short of where you need to land )then you can see the nose pitch up, hit stall speed and you are doomed ! If you are short of runway add power then elevator then go around. On downleg turn into wind use wide turns and fly it in under power, 40% then 30% then 20% gentle touch of up elevator when about 18 inch above runway to level the model and once the wheels touch come down to 10% power wait for it to slow down and as the tail drops and the speed decreases below actual flying speed feed in up elevator to pin down the tail and stop nose overs. Do not attempt to turn until you come to a stop or you will tip a wing . Make sure the CG is the 90mm back from wing leading edge as per book ( your maiden flight looked a bit tail heavy)and add lead to nose if required otherwise a 5000mah 6s 830gm lipo tends to be required.to achieve correct cg, Also have the book flap to elevator mix dialled in.. Landing into a 8 to 18mph wind works best without flaps. Anything under 5 mph lands better with flaps but still keep the power on and air running over the wing and tail surfaces until well after touchdown. Do NOT use flaps for take off, hold full elevator before moving off, add power gradually, releasing elevator slowly and as speed picks up and the tail lifts continue to about 3/4 throttle apply up elevator and a touch of right rudder and away you go . Keep the speed up and the nose a touch down on slower turns. Fly smooth and wide turns cruise at 60% throttle and after a dozen flights you will really start to enjoy flying this model. Have fun.

@@paulrkytek6587 hey I appreciate the comment and I’m gonna try a lot of those things. I had a bad landing today and I had a good one. I’m getting better. I’m gonna post the videos in the next day or two. My second landing was way better today. I think I’m starting to get it. It’s different than any other plane I’ve flown so far, there’s a learning curve I guess.

@@JetGuyProductions Stick with it, this plane is a joy to fly. Watch AV8R youtube video in his scale flight series and playback the take off and landings in slowmo to focus in on the landings, and control movements. It is easier to judge control if you keep it within 200 yds of the tx

hey bud, it has flaps. its split flaps.

its touchy and needs flaps and a little power comming down ..I think you have plenty room for FPV also
