Horrible landing ? Man I thought that was pretty good for that nasty cross wind and it’s a warbird. Great looking plane and vid . Thank you.

I really enjoyed this Hellcat video. IIRC, it looks like you're in the Imperial Valley. I used to live in Holtville - which had a Naval Air station where Hellcat pilots trained in rocket firing and skip bombing...................before I was born. Thanks for a great presentation (and effort)

Actually it’s riverside county but the town is called “Thermal” I grew up near that field lol. Thanks for the comment, I’ll load up another video when I renew my local club membership, you can check their videos on CVRC club in thermal👍

I’m lucky to have found a hangar 9 60cc Corsair, It’s over priced but I bought it anyway. Horizon Hobby is no longer producing that frame, I’ll be installing a SAITO FG90r3 on it so stay tuned. Thanks for your comment 👍

Beautiful model!!!! GREAT FLIGHT considering the crosswind you were dealing with!!!!! Personally I wouldn’t have flown in those conditions. I’m assembling the same model right now with electric power. I have to be honest and say yours looks much better than mine!!!! Really like the scale details!!!! AWSOME JOB!!!!!

I used to get a lot of crap from the guys because I wouldn’t fly on windy days but then I spent much less time repairing than they did 😁

Congratulations, great job. I have the same kit but have been following your progression. I really like the antenna line on the back. I will surely put that on my bird as well. Also, I got a pilot, Roberson wheels as well by following your progression. I might suggest painting your antenna line black so it stands out better. Just sayin.

How well does the opening up of the caul flap help with cooling the engine? Did you have to open the caul flaps on the bottom of the airplane? Do you have a video showing how that you accomplish opening up the caul flaps?

Just a heads up, my first videos I was experimenting by fiberglassing and adding flaps. It turns out that the plane was to tail heavy and was not going to fly. So I scraped the plane and started a new, but this time I kept the plane stock only modifying to take the SAITO fg19r3. Happy build on your new project 👍

Amazing. Any special modifications to accommodate the Saito radial? Also, You’re crazy to maiden in these winds. Indoor like conditions is what I aim for. Even so, following your gorgeous build progression, my heart would be pounding regardless of weather. :D

Few years old video but how is the FG19 temp wise? I was banging through the Snafu Thunderbolt build on RCGroups and that guy had a ton of issues with this thing overheating and losing power.

Don’t remember haven’t flown the plane since that video, right after I crashed it and haven’t put it back together. I’ll probably do another video on temp sometime this month.
