Your nose over problem can also be solved by being more gentle with the power on starting roll out. Push the power up slower so there is not as much thrust trying to pull the nose, allow some speed to build so the elevator has enough air to give good authority and then power up for take off. These little planes only really need about 50% power for takeoff.
since ages I did not pilot any RC plane (ca. 45 years to be fairly honest, had however some real flight experience as pilot in my 20's and as skydiver in my 40's) and on this beautiful afternoon, I finally unpacked my Eachine F4U ( I received back in December 2021, no joke) and went in the backyard with the cows and just flew this plane. After two failed starts, the Corsair was in the air, and how! Easy to master in Beginner and Intermediate mode (I prefer the latter, more flexibility and responsive), trimming ailerons and elevators easily, this small RC plane fly really well, even for a beginner. If someone wants to (re-)enter the RC world of aircraft, this mini-warbird will do the job and no need for large space, one can fly within 50 meters around.
It is just, as you say, extremely immersive and relaxing. I enjoyed the afternoon.
Last but not least, the batteries are supposed to last some 14 minutes, I have three and had only the first one after at least 25 minutes, still running, and short of two propellers lost in crashes, had to go back home and order ten more. Will paint the tips in yellow.
Conclusion of the day: I ordered the Eachine Spitfire and many more props.
Thanks a lot Brian for your channel and you very in depth reviews and wise advices, you made my day !
Another awesome video. I was looking at this a starter back into the hobby. I was happy to see you did a video on this plane. Thanks you seem to really diversify your model reviews. I am really glad I subscribed to your channel when I first found you earlier this week.
Awesome David! Glad you're seeing this in our reviews ;)
I've had the P-51 for a couple weeks now and am enjoying it. It seems a little nose heavy to me..but that F4U seems especially nose heavy. I hand launch, and flare to drop in grass for landings. I've had no issues with the plane and I think it's worth every penny!
I also have the QF 008 787 and that thing is major bang for the buck! I've learned how to trick the gyro at the top of a loop and get it to fly inverted too! As soon as the plane is vertical and starting to go inverted go full negative elevator and it will fly inverted for 5-10 seconds!
Thanks for the great videos you two!
I had that accidentally happen once too, also with my F-22.
I'm so happy I found your channel, every time I search up a rc plane on TH-cam, it shows me your videos ❤️😎
Thanks, and glad you're here with us!!! Welcome ;)
I have both the p51 and corsair. I love both. Very easy to fly and durable!
Good to hear!
Thanks for all you both do to teach and entertain us. Your wife is a saint. Waiting for the T-28, it was my favorite to fly in when I was in the Navy. Got to fly back seat on the drone control missions when testing the sidewinders out at China Lake.
So cool! We you a rio?
Crazy little plane, looks fun 👍🏻
It's fun for sure, but was disappointed with the prop clearance. Seems like a bit of an oversight by production....nothing that would be insurmountable to overcome, but most who buy these little planes just hand launch them anyway :)
Oh yeah Brian and crew - loving this baby blue bird! Got the P51 and yet to maiden it. I think I might add this put to the fleet. Great review and flying guys. Cheers and stay safe! :)
Awesome!!! Thanks!
@@BrianPhillipsRC speaking about the crew - why don't You give it to your wife to try and fly it as well and You film if for a while.. Every review you only fly this toys and never share with your wife and I believe she can fly as well.. Especially as you say it is easy for everyone and beginners to fly..
As a sometime r/c plane park flier the thing that sells me is it easily survives most any hard landing. Thats key because your UMX plane typically will not have too many smooth landings. The break-away prop thing is brilliant and its sturdy foam with all your control surfaces re-inforced. finally a UMX i can fly more than three times before the plane is toast.
True!
Nice, I was waiting for you to review this plane. My Mini F4U Corsair is arriving today!
Hope you enjoy it! It's a good one, but a little disappointed with the prop striking issue. I could have fixed it with just a small trim to the prop....and would have paid only a VERY small top speed penalty.
I have just been getting aquatinted with the Corsair. Through your video, I now know what I did wrong, I was instead of pulling back in the elevator, I was pushing forward! OMG 😳 I can't wait till tomorrow! Thank you for your informative videos, I think I'm going to like the small scale. Keep up the small warbirds😃
"Dsylexic Pilot" - WOW - this entire comment is one huge pun - Amazing!!!!
Glad you go it ;)
Hello Brian and Mrs Megan aka camera crew, cool little plane. As you said the price makes it sweet. I got hooked on umx planes from your videos with the umx timber and aero commander. As always well done thanks for the video keep flying you guys.Just having fun RC'n with friends and family members. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏🛩🛩🛩🛩✈✈✈✈✈🚁🚁
Right on! Super emoji's today!??!? :)
Great video. If I may, a tip: Coil a small gauge insulated wire around the screwdriver and touch the naked copper ends to opposite poles of a battery for a few seconds. The screw will cling to the tool. My grandfather taught me that. I've always used it. :)
Cool - a little electro-magnet!
Getting this plane on Amazon! It’s arriving today you made me get this and I’m so happy I stumbled on your channel.
AWESOME! Welcome aboard!!!
Thanks!
I saw this plane on Amazon, but a different “brand”. I assume it’s all the same?
Ive been in RC for 20+ years, but still get a lot of enjoyment with my Corsair, and Spitfire, and bonus is, you can fly these anywhere, not just our rc flying club, plus they are extremely easy to fly, i do so on the middle position, and gyro off, but if its windy middle is fine, gyro off its a handful ! also, i remove all the undercarriage, and tail wheel, they fly soooo much better, and look wicked in the air
Good idea! I almost never pull the gear, but they don't even handle that great on the ground, so I'll have to give that a shot!
Nice flight review, Eachine makes a great product, the little mustang is a WINNER, probably going to try this one, I put a small dot of super glue on the prop shaft of the mustang and solved the problem of the prop coming off in landings
If the prop isn't allowed to pop off, the prop will break on strike. On this F4U, I think the mains were just a touch too short :(... but still not a deal breaker ;)
I have P51 and F4U. Good birds! These mini planes also perform a "corkscrew" - fly higher, turn on the expert mode, reduce the propeller speed, the elevator-aileron joystick to the extreme position for a dive with rotation. Before the ground, put the joystick in the middle position and turn on the gyro. Your bird will straighten itself out. Good luck
yes, cool!
Thanks this vid was very helpful!
Glad it helped! Thanks for stopping in!
Great channel Glad I subscribed
Thanks & Welcome! Thousands of videos where that came from ;)
Great job, thank you guys.
Our pleasure! Another picture change?!?!?
@@BrianPhillipsRC Lol, this is my normal one. The other day(by mistake) I was on the one I set up for the grandkids somehow lol I don't have a freaking clue how they switched accounts but I'm going to blame the grandkids. I think the one switched the accounts is Mollie, she is only 3 years old. lol
Thanks for the very informative video I just got the F4U plane. It is my first RC airplane. I tried to fly but had the same problems you did on take off. It does seem to be front heavy I am going to try some of your tips. Thanks again you have given me a lot of faith in the plane
You can do it! Maybe try hand launching if trimming down the prop still doesn't yield good results. Either way, hope you enjoy it, and come back for more help when you progress into even more advanced planes & you will ;)
That was fun, mixed bag though with the problems to sort out. It does look sweet though bro!
yeah, but I think I was just having some weather issues compounding my nose over issues...given a few flights, I'd have the bugs worked out. That's the NO BS review though. I want people to see what their going to be up against....but it is a good plane. Very fun, very affordable!!!
Great camera crew.
She is very good!!! So glad she hasn't fired me yet!!!!!
Hi, One of the best videos I have seen on this plane, A typical problem on these micro planes is the wire on the landing gear is too short, when the plane is level for takeoff, The prop hits the ground, I have had to make my own wire gear from .047 piano wire to correct this problem. Or just remove it , And hand launch and belly land, Also, Love your kitchen, Looks like mine, except all my chargers are in a guest bathroom, And I have 79 planes ranging from 15'' to 8ft. wingspans, several RC 4x4 trucks, drift cars, boats, tanks, quads, heli's, If it is RC I have it, And my wife tolerates my hobby, LOL , I am 65 years old with 52 years in the hobby, And she says, What do I do with this collection if you die?, I told her,,, Here is the Ebay website, Good luck! LOL, Best of luck to you, Stay safe!
LOL - Ebay - gotta love it! I'm blessed to have such a supportive wife!
This plane has so much power, I actually trimmed the prop ;) Worked great, plus it was WAY out of balance, so I think it's actually better now!!!
Cool plane just subscribed
Welcome James! If you think this plane is cool, you have a lot of videos to check out ;) Might keep you busy, we've got thousands more where this one came from ;)
based on your flight test. it makes me wanna get the P-51. Great Video
You should! and I agree that the P-51 might edge this one out, a bit. Actually, I like the T28 BEST...

I had the mustang and spit till yesterday.I arrived at our caravan after a month’s absence,to find we have had a visitor who only likes ‘plane’ food.A mouse had tunnelled into each box and ate both planes !?…the spitfire was brand new…doh !
Good informative review, thanks 👍🇺🇸😎❗
Glad you enjoyed it - Thanks!
@@BrianPhillipsRC 👍
I know this is old but I just saw it using the tri prop on this would help with the take-off landing issue blades are shorter.
I've been waiting for this model for so long. I already have the mini mustang. After watching your review, I'll buy it at some point just for display purposes along side the little Mustang in my rc warbird museum...lol. They're so cool but they definitely don't help me as a beginner pilot. I have been working so hard to get better at flying in "expert" mode but the stick sensitivity, combined with the speed needed to stay in the air, on these little planes makes the experience much less enjoyable for me at this point in my rc pilot "career". Thanks for the entertaining and educational content, y'all!
Yeah, flying on "expert" is a fools errand!!! They're CRAZY unwieldy. I wouldn't recommend it. This is one of the reasons I recommend the Sport Cub S UMX for a beginner...as it's flyable without SAFE, as you still have AS3X. I think the auto leveling on this and the P-51 are phenomenal, given their price point, and the one touch aerobatic function is very fun!
I went from the mini p51 on expert to an edf f22 raptor. Found the raptor relatively easy 5 successful flights no gyro. Have now added an a3 pro gyro to make the f22 a little more easy.
@@TheLiamis yea for me the p51 is probably the best little 4 channel plane out there for stability .with all its functions for its price, theres alot of planes out there that i would like to get hold of from horizon hobby but cant,as they dont ship abroad,i e the bigfoot, the habu. etc.that did surprise me being as advertising on utube a world wide network .
I preordered my F4U and have had it for a week or so. Mine has a NON-functioning rudder which I told Banggood about and they offered me an $8 discount on my next order. I told them no, I want a fully functioning plane, that I paid for. They offered to send me a another new plane for $25 which I accepted. Looks like I'll have two F4U's to crash now. The UMX Turbo Timber, that you suggested, just arrived this morning, so I'll be taking that one out too as soon as the wind dies. Good to know about the taking off problem on the F4U and it looks like it flies just about as good as the Mini P-51 Mustang, which I really enjoy flying. Camera crew is still the best. Until next time...... :)
Thanks Jack!!! Hold the elevator FULL BAKC when you go to take off...and hopefully you'll have GREAT luck ;)
I just got the volantex 750 mm Mustang. After i maiden it, and if it survives lol. I'm onto the FW 190 toss and boss bird that Motion rc offers. So keep up the great videos! Thanks.
Nice!!
I think İt's a very nice made Micro Vought F4U Corsair, ı have one and ı think it's great for begginers. I spent around 2 years flying this, and After a month trying it off gyro, I learnt to fly it without crashing and performing aerobatics. I recommend it to anyone who loves micro and Warbirds.
For sure! It's a blast.
love your videos! what I dont love is bang good's service. it takes months to ship anything. worst of all, they canceled my paid order for the eachine corsair, mustang and trojan with no explanation, but of course they're still selling them on their site. ended up buying all three planes from a local store. anyway thanks for your reviews and keep up the great work!
Yep, it does happen...even to me - LOL!!! They did this to me on the T28 trojan 400mm warbird, which is why we did that review like WAY later than everyone else.
Nice!
Thanks! :)
I bought this plane and the little Airbus A380 is my first two planes ever and I probably have 30 to 40 flights on the Corsair now absolutely love it I have bigger and better planes on the way now but this thing is awesome as a trainer and very durable
True! These planes are a great launching pad for even better planes, but Eachine doesn't even go after the "second" plane - I don't know why?!?!?
It's good that you review airplanes like this in case I don't want to buy a grandkid or something a little airplane
EXACTLY!!!!! So much fun, and very low consequences...even if you have a fly way...not that I would expect such an extreme issue. I have visions of dog fights with P-51 and F4U ;)
I buy grand kids all the time. Normally just give them away to people
Bro nice flying skills
Thanks! I didn't think it was very good, but I'm glad you enjoyed it ;)
Yay!
Thanks ;)
I mist get this. I love my mini p51 and the f4u is my favourite looking plane. I just love those wings.
It is very fun, but just wish it had about 1/4" longer landing gear so it wouldn't prop strike the ground on takeoff.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Bend up your own landing gear. Piano wire, couple of pairs of pliers, easy.
lovely toy
It really is! Thanks!
The hummingbirds go nuts for this plane when I fly it at the park lol.
Awesome! We have hummingbirds, but they rarely go after my planes - don't know why though...
Wohoo! I tested it when u got your silver play button for gl
Nice! Thanks
No problem and congrats on your achievement!
I was flying that thing today and just kept going I lost it somewhere in Bermuda 😆 for real . Had to get a new one
OOOOOPS! That's one way to RETURN it to China, but usually we just recommend UPS. LOL ;)
I'm bummed you lost the little plane! Are you gonna get something different this time or just thinking about replacing her?
Maybe I could talk you into something a bit more advanced ??? So many good choices now-a-days!!!
Not even sure if you're a beginner, but I'll just assume that for now, please forgive me if I'm wrong...

The relief cuts in your driveway is why it wouldnt take off from the ground, everytime it passed over one is when the prop popped off.
I've got several other (All of them) 400mm Warbird series planes, and they don't share this issue.
I like it 😎
Me too ;)
Great video, always wondered why some carrier Corsairs had unusual large arrow markings, I think it was a carrier I' d marking ? I'd like to get the corsair or bf109! I paint prop tips making props easier to find I'n grass, corsair has a prop hub, opposed to a cone or spinner,I think,
I actually pre ordered one of these and it should be here this week, I figured for $60 it was worth getting it to mess around with. Thanks for the video and all the details will help with getting it all ready to go!
Hope you enjoy it! And you're exactly right...very fun, not an award wining plane, but VERY fun!!! If you crash, you'll be surprised how tough it is!!!
Where did you find one for $60?
@@flyfishincrazy before it launched Banggood had it for $60 pre order. It’s a wacky website, the prices change all the time, I would just keep checking for a deal. That package came with three batteries too.
USS Bunker Hill markings. Cool!
Thanks! I knew someone would know that. Thanks Michael!
The lipo works!
AWESOME!
Yeah after being in a tree for a couple a days still connected I’m suprised
Brian, I am rewatching this video and you state that the transmitter is bound to that ONE plane. It can be used on the Mini Mustang P-51 D also and maybe others. I tried it when I got mine and they all work on both planes. Just FYI. Happy flying.
Yes, you can bind it to more than one plane, but it can only be bound to one at a time ;) Sorry if I was unclear.
The Eddie Guerro of RC lmao
I throw less chairs...
Hey flyers, question! How do you know when to replace the transmitter 4xAA batteries? Will it give a warning beep or flash of some sort? The idea of losing the transmitter and having the plane disappear into the distance sounds disastrous but there's no mention of this in the manual. Thanks!
Could you bind this to a spektrum radio ?
These showed up at our local hobby store as RAGE RC and caught my eye. I have students looking for planes to fly in a gym. But these look too fast to fly in a gym. What do you think?
q. The Prop break away hub(the part that connect to the motor/gear) is not tread on, but rather press on/off which you should be able to pop off with a small plier! and yes, I do believe that is a weak point(pop off prop is great, but the plastic is too easy to break so you might need to have a bunch handy instead of one extra(just saying), 2. the batteries connector can only be connect one way, so the color code is really not need or helpful! need little plane for super low price. 3. The wheel is much too small and prop much too close to the ground to have a reliable take off, hand launch is probably the only way to go.
Mine did the exact same thing it would tilt forward and knock the prop off but it flies so well thrown by hand. I really want to take off from the ground though so I’m going to need to figure out how to trim it.
Just use some sharp scissors and trim down the prop about 1/8" on each side, then check for balance...you'll be good ;)
@@BrianPhillipsRC actually I did what you did and I bent the wheels forward and it actually taxis now.
Hahaha..... You finally remembered basic tailwheel training 🤣
?
Hi Brian, you just made me order the small Corsair. I've dreamed for very long to fly an RC and when I took the decision, Europe decided to move on a specific law for unmanned flying objects (RC planes and drones) limiting the flying weight to 250g. What's above must be visibly imatriculated as a normal airplane, or something weird like that. Flight height will be also limited to some 120m above your head. I planned for the 1'200mm Sea Fury and must now switch to light flights ;-) There is a levelling instruction for the gyros, did you do that before the first flight. By the way, nice videos on your channel and cool that your wife is part of the game and enjoy as you do. Take care stay healthy and go on making us dream.
This plane is made for your situation ;) Well under 250 grams!!! Aren't you so glad your government had your own best interests in mind ;) LOL
I'm pretty lucky that Megan is available to help!
@@BrianPhillipsRC let's see how it develops, as the RC community in Switzerland is quite strong, still underpowered against European laws. Hope to fly the small Corsair soon, weather is pretty windy those days
Love your videos. I’m an fpv drone pilot. Just started flying helicopters (M2 EVO). I want to start flying planes also. I currently use a TX16s MK2 with built in expresslrs and a 4in1 external module. What would be a good beginner plane that I cam use my radiomaster? Thanks
wish I have a front yard big like that to just come out and fly my rc.
You should see should see the back yard ;)
We're digging a pond, and then we'll have another runway. Hope you'll stay tuned to see how it turns out.
Love these Warbirds. The reason it won't take off from the ground is because the landing gear wheels don't free spin, which sticks the plane in place on the ground and causes the nose to drop forward when applying throttle. They're more like crude foam washers rather than wheels, and their lack of free spin is why they're useless other than keeping your prop up on landings and also because without them, you're belly landing right on the servo throw. Eachine has corrected the problem on other models with upgraded landing gear with much better free spinning wheels that snap in. But the red tail Mustang, the Trojan and the Corsair are the three Eachine models that still come with these crappy landing gear wheels.
I still think, dollars to donuts, these little birds are a blast!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Right? They're so fun to fly and I can't stop collecting them.
Just last week I had been watching the old navy training videos and docos on carrier landings for this plane. There are some amazing skills needed as forward visibility was very limited. Just been thinking about the stabiliser unit in the model, do you think it would work on another aircraft as is?
Oh, good question....MAYBE....but it's tuned to this little bird. Are you putting it in a scratch built Allen?
@@BrianPhillipsRC just considering if buying a stabilised aircraft and ripping out the controller would be economic as compared with a discreet set up
Can you compare the flight characteristics betweeen Eachine P51, F4U, and T-28? Also, really hope that Eachine can release more mini RTF warbirds like these for P38, Me-109, Spitfire, and Japanese Zero... That would be awesome! These mini RTFs not only is easy to fly and do not require a big place to fly, they are also awesome to be hanging on the ceiling for decoration etc.!! By the way, would be awesome if you could do a video to come up with a great solution to hang these mini-RTFs on the ceiling. Thanks!
They all fly super similar, so not a lot to compare. The flight controller is somewhat overwhelming over the flight characteristics that would otherwise be experienced.
Coool
These little ones are super fun, and very cool! My son loves flying them, and it's low stress, since he doesn't have to worry about crashing, even though he knows how to fly.
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for your reply back! This plane sounds perfect for me then :) I wonder, do these little war birds (like the BF109 and P51 Mustang, etc.) show any signal or indicator before the battery runs out? Thanks for your help!
I think the landing gear wheels needed to be bent more forward, to avoid the easy tipping :)
I was hoping you’d do a review on this plane. I bought the P51 after seeing your video on it and it’s great. When i saw the Corsair was available a few weeks ago, i had to order it. I should get it this week.
Have you checked to see if the Corsair and P51 can fly together without radio interference? Thanks for the videos.
They can. If they're bound to the same channel, I believe you can rebind them.
That battery storage though....:P
Yeah - when you got a million batteries, you gotta stuff them somewhere!!! ;)
Im a newbe to rc planes. This was my second rc plane. Fun to fly but way too fast for me. I trimmed the prop down from 130mm to 110. Flies slower at 25%/30% obviously, which is my comfort zone, but the speed is more “to scale”and I like to keep it under 40’ for practicing rectangular flight paths and practice landings.
Good idea! Better ground clearance too!
throttle a new fangled feature to you????
I got the P-51 and it's the easiest thing, except for controlling it. My son and I are using it to lear to fly. Super durable. We crashed on trees (yes, plural) head-on at high speed and nothing happened. Looking forward to this one next. One downside, they increased the price a bit.
Luiz Nunes my f4u was cheaper than my p51 when I ordered it. And just be careful the f4u is a little faster but still a huge amount of fun
Yeah, I noticed that too....but still very inexpensive. I think the corona shipping has made things more expensive too.
Jimbo - for sure!
Very informative thx. This one key feature is a bit confusing? Does this bird and the spitfire return home automatically or do you have to set return home?a bit more info on this matter would be greatly appreciated. As a true beginner I don't feel comfortable to fly my spitfire or corsair. All the best. Have a great one and stay safe. Robbbert from Melbourne Australia.
They do not [return to home] as the Chinese would have you misunderstand (LOL). The "one touch return" means it turns 180 degrees...that's IT...what a joke - STUPID FEATURE WARNING ;) - It's useless, and will add to an already confusing circumstance and lead to "fly-away" more often than not.
Otherwise GREAT plane, and fun. Might need to clip the prop like I did for clearance thou.
Hey Brian mabey u can help with this problem I have the t28 trojan from eachine and some times when I'm flying it will spiral into the ground in safe mode I'm Shure it's something simple not the plane any suggestions thanks for your time
Brian: Great attention to detail in your presentation. Love your enthusiasm!
1) Are you aware if there is any warning before loss of power in the transmitter? Flashing power light? I haven't run out with my P51D yet. so I'm curious.
2) I saw one comment that these radios ARE compatible with Deviation and Open Tx but couldn't find it again. Do you know where this is documented?
1) I didn't notice any warning - no motor pulshing, no change of state on lights (but I didn't look either, admittedly)
2) As for Deviation / Open TX...many of them ARE, but don't know if anyone has figured out what protocol this plane is YET. If they have, you would be a saint to share it with us here when you figure it out ;)
I was curious as well. In the unboxing of the Jumper he covers Ultra Micro Maniacs and that person has a review for the P51 that showed up in the list of suggested videos. I watched it for hopes of seeing anything mention the Jumper and while it isn't explicitly shown, one shot shows the plane being controlled by a Jumper and there's a file in the info, as well as some text talking about DeviationTx/OpenTx, altering the mid and expert modes and mentioning the file. Seeing as how I'm using one tx for the P51 and Corsair that originally came with the Raptor I imagine it can be used with all three planes. I'll give it a try soon and see how it shapes up. The main reason I'm interested in trying is because the trims don't save when you pop out batteries in the plane or the tx gets turned off. Will try to come back with news of how it goes. Still gotta figure out the Jumper for myself.
th-cam.com/video/bJD7lCId3X4/w-d-xo.html
Great video! I damaged the elevator on my corsair! Any suggestions on the type of glue I should use to repair it?
If it's broke at the pinch hinge, just use some tape...press it into the seam, make sure it's free, and NOT BOUND UP, then run a bit on the other side, so it can still move free.
If it's broke length-wise, just use some CA (foam safe if you want to be totally sure, but this is EPO, so you can PROBABLY use regular CA) - I'd use MEDIUM (BSI White Cap - "Low Odar" AKA "Foam SAFE"), then I'd put a small 1/3 length of toothpick as a SPAR to pin it together in the middle. Gotta maybe split it length wise, with a knife, too so you can not be to thick causing a bulge. Nobody wants to be surprised by a bulge...
"Kicker" will help it set quickly, and I'd suggest it too, if you don't have it already.
Here's my seciton of the "Help Us" stuff...

CA Med amzn.to/2D0x18i
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you very much. I really appreciate the response! It is slightly cracked at the seam where it bends up and down and I don’t want to prevent it from moving freely. The foam 2 foam seems like it might be a good option where it says it is flexible? Are there any good flexible CA options?
lol Carlie Sheen , best play on the Eachine name....hahahahah
I'm glad you GET it ;) CharliEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAchine
the "dihedral" is the "gullwing" design for these US Marines WWII F4U Corsair.
yep
Great review, loving the videos. Looking to get my first plane, trying to decide between one of the eachine's, the A800 or something else, any help would be appreciated, thx
I just replied to another comment about 2 minutes ago with the same question ;) Here's some initial ideas, and come back with questions when you have picked one you're interested in. I have videos for most all of these, except one, we will be doing it very soon...
Here's two sets of options, Cheap (Above) and WAY Better (Below)...
Cheap... (purchase links - I also have videos too, but you can just search my channel with the name and it'll come up)

With the "WAY Better", you'll be in it for more cash, but you're going to have a higher probability of success, which means you may WASTE less cash overall. When you're new, you want the BEST, which sounds kinda weird, but it's TOTALLY 100% right on - let me know in a year, if I was right ;) I only know from personal experience, and hundreds, if not thousands, of people's feedback. The "Cheap" options, are FUN and really cool too, but you'll LEARN to fly better with the "Loads Better" options.
P.S. We'll be here to help you how we can ;) Good luck!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thank you for this, really appreciated. The better planes look great but they are significantly more in the UK so a bit too much outlay to start with. Looking at the others I'm thinking the sport cub 500, wing dragon or p51. Not sure what to go for but be nice to get some good flight times and be able to progress from flying with assistance to none and doing some loops etc. At a push I could go for the Sport Cub S V2 but it's pushing on towards 3 times the price of the others with extra batteries about £175. The Cub 500 is around £100 and the others are around £60.
Eachine should make a mini bf109!
They had a T-28 on the box, and I WANT IT NOW!!!
Yeah! If that Trojan flies like the old umx Trojan from E-flite/parkzone, I WANT IT!!!
They do now I believe
They did
Thank god
I'm new to the aircraft hobby, I just purchased the Eachine F22 version. What r some basic things I should know about before take off?
Do it on a CALM day. Do it in a HUGE, wide opened area.
Can you show us some inverted flight and some close up landings with this and the p51?
Just replied to your other comment, and no. These planes don't really do upside down, except for the most insanely skilled pilots... these planes are great in beginner and even intermediate, but in expert, stabilization shuts off, and I HATE flying them with these crappy RTF transmitters.
NOW, if I had a Radio-master or some such thing, I could possibly make the gimbals a bit better and this would help.
I've seen the rc saylors do inverted flight with the mustang on TH-cam. Just search the video up
Most remark that in order to fly in expert, you need a better transmitter.
Hi , can you advise ... I think I know how to bind this model to my new radiomaster T16S Transmitter . ( though if you have any tips or if you can do a video tutorial on this --much appreciated !! ) However I am unsure how to copy the buttons or should I say assign the buttons like 1 trick to one of the buttons on my Radiomaster tx. Many Thanks
You have to figure out what channel will operate what feature, if you'd like to still use it, but I don't know how. I've personally not had success with binding these to my Jumper. I have about a 50/50 success rate ;(
Brian, I just ordered the P51 and F4U, slow boat from china 4-6 weeks. Cant find the manuals anywhere. Could you make a PDF of manual for either and post a link ?
no, sorry.
"It's so tiny, who is THAT going to satisfy?"
"OH, WHY ME, OF COURSE! IN MY MINI AIR FORCE & MINI NAVY!"
Nice simple plane😜👍
Very nice! The pun police have pulled you over for that comment!!!
@@BrianPhillipsRC I wasn't sure it would be percieved "appropriately", but when people see how much fun you had with the UMX Timber, back when you were livin' in the 'hood, they will understand! Having a nice big country 600'+ groomed,1000' cleared grass field, I haven't bought any more than the C-182 in UMX yet, but your review/tutorial vids are right up there w/Pilot Ryan Media. I was sold on the potential of UMX thanks to your joy in flying the new format @ the time. "..this dude is as crazy for flying as me, look @ how much fun HE'S having w/that, dang, those cheap little things ARE serious!" I used to build laminated epoxy/cardstock F-16, A-10, C-130, Cessnas, etc gliders, sub-UMX size, tossed them in loops, stall turns etc.. was a hoot to boomerang an F-16! Now I fly planes w/3" wheels&larger! I like the idea of a hyper nimble UMX fleet! Lol, world domination, one gorgeous tiny little plane @ a time! 😎👍
TH-cam has a 14+ clause, so I figured so long as it was the right "tone", it HAD to be shared! If you guys, the Petrenčič Brothers, Pilot Ryan, and others work so hard & can share "ever-matureing" humor, I have to contribute something back! It's great watching the RC Saylors too, Flight test, the Valashnof's, etc..we're all kinda one big international flying " club-family" !
Joel & MelanieValashof, they have this cool channel with.. VTOL HARRIERS & F-35's! Like watching Mike Patey's work!
Really good video. I am new to this hobby and I got the same plane as my first plane. May I ask how should I store the battery since I may not use it for a long time. Should I fully charge it before storing or what? Thanks in advanced!
Thanks! Just replied to your other quesiton...
Charge the battery and fly the plane, then just store it "dead" or just check the voltage is at or about 3.8VDC and you'll be golden!
@@BrianPhillipsRC Thanks! I also wanna ask if I can pluggin a lipo battery with a different mAh?
Hey Brian, it wouldn't nose over like that if you had an ix20, better get on that! Just doin' my part...love ya bro! C'mon Meghan...please!
LOL - that was a low blow!!!
You really are an expert in this, I just got this plane I want to ask you according to your knowledge and expertise if is possible to cover the plane with aluminum tape in order to looks metallic?
WAY too heavy, sorry ;(
You COULD paint it silver if you want, but keep it real light on the coats.
@@BrianPhillipsRC thanks for your reply Sir!! 👍
If you bend the landing gear forward an inch or so, it will land much better.
I did bend them forward a bit. The ground handling on this and the P-51 are both pretty poor, but the planes are GREAT for what they are, and what they cost!!!
I Hawe a 40 30 mah 1S baterry for whoops and when i charged them using paralel board and extension cord if i charge 4 baterry at onece on 1 port i chose 4S and charged them on 1,6 Amps and newer have the problem.Nice review i have huge Homemade airplane from Balsa and i never fly a RC Aircraft so i am searching something smaler to practice before i go Fly my huge Airplane becose it is fully manual no F.C. and i am afraid to crashe it at first flight.So i am searching something smaler but with all control surface like my big model...
Dude - 1.6 amps is WAY FAST and for 4 different sized batteries too boot!
if you have a 40mAh 1S, that means 40mAh/1000mAh = 0.04 AMP HOURS!!! You're charging them WAY too fast!!! You're gonna have a problems at some point, and I hope you get this message in time to not burn anything down (or maybe you told me something wrong???)...
Secondly in a parallel charging scenario, you should really only charge the same cell count together, and same mAh together, and same C rating and usage (how warn out it is)...or you'll find the LOWEST Cell and OVER CHARGE IT. It WILL eventually catch fire.
Not trying to bust your balls, I'm all about having fun too, but just gotta get it done safe. I would feel TERRIBLE if I heard about you burning your own house down....seriously.
I wish they made a PnP version of the mini series just so that the cost would be lower....but then again it is a very good little plane and very cheap for what it is
PNP? How would you install the rx? It would have to be cut in half.
@@BrianPhillipsRC for some protocols their Rx are small(some might say too small) and weigh only about 3grams eg. FrSky and Flysky have small 4 channel receivers
Hey Brian, I’m considering to convert the motor to brushless with the stock radio. You think is possible with just swapping out the motor n adding a brushless ESC? Will that do the job? Please advice 😊
I'm not 100% sure. I assume if done correctly, one could do it though.
I have looked all over the place for the 400 series propellers two blades and the three blades I cannot find it I'm an old guy trying to figure this out
Never mind finally found it
You mentioned how the Eachine and Volantex mini warbirds are the same with different branding. What about the XK / WL Toys mini warbirds...are they the same as the Eachine and Volantex with different branding? Looks to me like those are different parts, different electronics, etc. even though at a glance they first appear the same. ???
Pretty much, except some use different transmitters. The Rx'es change between the older and newer of the same brands in my experience. Some of the planes and heli's are in fact different, but some are just branding/marketing differences. Some have more options, some are offered with different geographic distribution rights.
I need some planes for the work in my Kindergarden group! What are the slowest Micro's, or lets say below 800mm wing span planes you are aware of? I tend to the more affordable ones like eachine or XK!

Brian, I got the Apprentice STS Trainer. Haven't flown it yet, 1st plane. I'm nervous about landing and probably over thinking but I don't wanna Duke it my first time out. How hard is it to land the Trainer? and what are some tips besides getting a 180 dollar simulator lol. I've watched some videos on first flights with the trainer and honestly it doesn't look like it's their first time because they fly it/land it with such ease. I did order the landing sensor for Europe because I couldn't find it anywhere in the country and Spektrum says they won't be available until August. Should I wait for the sensor, is it that necessary or should I just go for it and hope for the best? Lol.
I have no idea what you're talking about with the "sensor" for landing???
As for flying and landing....here's a tip. If you're unsure of yourself, got a field with very tall grass, then when you're ready to land, if you're still unsure of yourself, just cut the throttle to 0% and let SAFE glide you gently into the tall grass. The grass generally won't hurt the plane. HOWEVER, if you're feeling up to it, which you WILL..just land it on the parking lot or the short, well manicured grass.
Make sure you know where your switches are, and be prepared to pull the switches into SAFE mode. If you're not sure, make sure you GET sure before you're in the air, as you will probably NOT be able to look at your Radio while you're flying...which is a vary scary feeling as a newbe.
Yep I lost mine when relying on the one button return just for a test -- its BAD
Yeah, I agree - Not a feature we like, but now they're calling it a "one touch TURN" ....turn where??? LOL
6 axis is a misnomer. Its actually 6 degrees of freedom or movement.
Rotation around and linear movement along the 3 axes of our 3D world.
2 types of motion * 3 axes = 6 DoF
I see ;) I just assumed they had the three axis, and one more redundant, but slightly different axially stabilized...I'm always learning something new. They do have this gyro and auto leveling tuned well, I think!
Hi, currently I'm having a rough time deciding which plane to buy, the F22 or F4U - id like to hear what you guys think. thanks :)
Very soon, we will have he newest from this series, the T-28 as well, to complicate your decision ;) We hope you'll watch and see what seems best for your circumstances.
As for your decision, the F4U is way easier to fly. I'd go that direction for now....

i really enjoy watching your vids.
Add some weight towards the tail. Use some poster sticky tacky putty.
sure
Deciding between this Corsair and P51 on my first plane. What would you recommend if I want the best flying experience?
P-51 is slightly better since I didn't have issues with the prop hitting the ground.
They also make a T-28, that's the best experience, in my personal opinion.
