Now that's the way a corsair should look
Battle worn
That has to be THE smoothest sounding rc engine I have ever heard
Wish that was the only motor we could hear. I wanted so bad for the other aircraft to crash so we could hear only the Corsair.
Almost sounds exactly like a real one , amazing.

Man that radial engine sounds sooo sweet!
Great build! I have never seen a war bird with detailing, and weatherization! It absolutely looks like a real F4U!
Holy cow that is the most realistic sounding RC airplane I have ever heard.
The weathering and detailing is simply exquisite. If I had to choose one RC warbird that would be it.
Agreed!
Mine wud be the lady alice the paint job on that thing is ridiculous and to think its foam iv clicked on it about 10 times to learn the process
The weathered look is amazing! That was the first thing that caught my eye. Up close, the detail is so accurate, you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference from a real aircraft without anything to compare the scale.😁👍
The sounds are the same of the full-scale planes, if these planes are made to scale.
Just crazy it was so real. I thought I was looking at a food scale!! even sounds like it in the air. Most impressive 🤩🙏👏👍⚡️
Some of the finest weathering ive ever seen on a WW2 warbird
Thank you all for your kind words about the Corsair. I will work with RC Geek to get more information out to you on how the model came about. Thanks again.
Thanks Greg!

Howdy all, is there somewhere I can go to, to see how this flying art came about? Blown away by the detail...
It's truly a work of art!!! I thought for first 30 seconds, I was looking at an old, used Corsair..., amazing, and that genuine radial sound, awesome!
Wow! That folding sequence after the landing was sick! Such a beautiful model and well shot flight. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching! 😊
Even the sound is scale to the actual, full sized aircraft. Beautifully constructed and excellent flying. Thank you for posting.
Not only a beautiful example of an F4U with a real radial engine but the flying was superb. All too often I see large RC versions that are not "flown to scale" and it takes away from the experience. I see jerky movements and most of all not enough rudder in the turns which makes the model slip and skid and would not be something you'd see in real life. This was exceptional flying and an exceptional build. I love the true radial engine as well. Excellent job all the way around. Thank you for the post.
the flying so smoothly controlled, burbling engine. lovely
Gotdamn!!!!!! The detail is F-ing spot on. From the paint to the hinges. I really thought that this was a real Corsair!!!!!😉😊😎
A1 realism, a work of art indeed, build, look and sound. That dirty ole two tone blue is exactly how I painted my little kits as a kid from colour wartime photos.
Anybody with money and is into the hobby can buy and build one. But the intricate detail and weathering is an art itself and hard to replicate.
I would like to get to know who did the paint job... or maybe the owner.
Beautiful clip of the corsair for sure.
Wow! That sound! That weathering! What an incredible model! 😀
Wow that F-4 Corsair sounds unbelievable let alone it looks great definitely one of my favorite fighters of World War II
This is the most realistic scale model I've ever "seen" (I've only seen it on video)
+Lozzie74 I can tell you that it was an amazing model! Everything about it was pretty insane.
My favorite WW2 era fighter.... such a cool plane.
And bad to the bone......
That aircraft is a flying work of art. Such great detail!
VERY VERY NICE !!!
I CAN IMAGINE THE FEELING OF PILOTING SUCH A LOVELY AIRCRAFT.
I'm a big fan of the corsair from WW2 footage. The profile of the plane really stands out to me. I really enjoyed this video. The plane looks great. Nice flying.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching! :)
Sounds awesome in its own right!
for a rc aircraft the engine does not sound like a lawnmower at all it acually sounds like an acual ww2 aircraft its so awesome
This airplane has a 5 cylinder radial engine in it which is why it sounds so good. This is actually the best sounding radial installation I've heard in a model.
@@Thercgeek, has "Greg" (I'm assuming he is the owner based on an earlier comment posted) ever came out with a posting on the particulars on this bird?
You mentioned it had a 5-cylinder radial engine, but can you tell me who the manufacturer is/was?
Back in my day (I've been out of the hobby for something like 20 or so years for a variety of reasons), the Saito brand was at the forefront of both radial engines and horizontally opposed powerplants. And, again at that time, 5 cylinders were the most made for the modeling public.
Man, this is getting my juices flowing again. LOL
@@user-td1zo3tv9p Unfortunately, the article never materialized. :( In terms of the kit, this is a comp-ARF kit. powerplant is a moki 250 which is what is recommended for the model: carf-models.com/en/products/f4u-1d-corsair
That paint job is stunning. Real piece of art !
The is the first time I've sean/heard an RC plain sound so much like the real thing. Awesome job!
The scale & detail on this beautiful aircraft is unprecedented, I honestly thought is real upon first sight of it 👍🏻
Big Jim's office. Love it. Very well done.
I can barely put a puzzle together without flying into a blind rage and then there are people who can build something like this... nicely done...
What a beast! So much fun to watch. I can't image how it feels to fly it!
The most badass plane designed ever!!!
Immaculate detail workmanship. Flow like a pro. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks
Thanks for watching! :)
El nivel de detalles de este suntuoso modelo del Chance Vought Corsario, supera por mucho mi capacidad de asombro. Felicitaciones al autor de esta creación en miniatura, no tan miniatura de radio control
The weathering is next level!
What a beautiful plane. Congrats to the builder.
Agreed the distressing of the paint must have been all consuming so much detail fantastic effort 😉👍👏👏👏
A-1 aesthetics and that radial.. my, oh my.
Truly amazing authentic paint scheme
That is skill and an awesome looking Corsair. And I agree on the absolute best sounding one I’ve heard. I wish I could do that hobby maybe one day, anyway thanks for sharing.
No warbird flies alone! That was the best part.
Damn! That as about as close to the real thing that a model can ever get. Superb!
I don't care what anyone says the corsair is the prettiest bird in the sky
I'm in awe. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Dave
Thanks for watching! :)
A stunning paintjob you only see at display scale models. Excellent.
Not only does it sound amazing, it LOOKS incredible! That is some amazing detail and a top notch weathering job! WOW!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video of a remarkable RC Corsair!
That paint on this thing is dead on! Amazing work!
That is a real Corsair! I am calling the FAA!
😆
It sounds amazing too
Finally someone that gets it. The aging and weathering is what makes this aircraft look real. It blows my mind to see guys sink thousands of dollars into turbine aircraft where there is no such airframe in existence in the fill size world, when they could have built an F-4 or A-4.
Or the guys that take an F-16 and paint it like a show car in wazoo colors instead of the real colors, WHY???? Or the guys that build giant scale warlords that look like they never left the factory. WW II aircraft were plenty weathered before they ever left the CONUS.
Wow, this is awesome, all those details, weathering, wings that break just like real one....thanks for this video.
Thanks for watching!
While it is nice to see these old warbirds in museums and on flightlines in pristine condition , it really nice to see them as they most likely were in service.
I am sure the maintenance people were busting their humps to keep them available for combat. The cosmetics got passed over.
Awesome. WHAT a Roar. 2 thumbs up.
Thanks.
Absolutely OUTSTANDING!
One of my all time favorite Warbirds and I wish my uncle hadn't sold his REAL Corsair back in the 60's. 😰
It is also one of the few Warbirds I never had the pleasure of wrenching on during my career as an FAA certified A&P Mechanic.
Ahhhhhh, the Good Old Days.
But this is truly a SPECTACULAR R/C model of an historically important airplane.
Where can I learn more about its construction, dimensions, powerplant and so on?
This is something I could sink my teeth into and (maybe) get me started building and flying R/C aircraft again.
Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for watching! This is the kit that this model started from: carf-models.com/en/products/f4u-1d-corsair IT's an all composite hollow molded airframe powered by a moki 250 5-cylinder radial engine.
@@Thercgeek, thank you for the prompt reply. As soon as I win a big lottery, I'll jump right on this kit!
Now if only they made a scaled down P&W R-2800 Radial engine to stick in that cowl! LOL
I actually have experience working on the real deal engine back in the day.
Talk about an oily and greasy mess.
I LOVED THEM!
Thanks again and take care!!
I forgot to mention that this video of yours was reason enough for me to subscribe to your page! 👍🤗
I want the Carf model painted like that with Pappy's decals
I'd want one w Marine Corps markings. I love the weathering and how it looks like a war bird. It looks and sounds great too. Thank you.
For Hollywood's next aero war movies, maybe they'll come knocking at RC Geeks door?
Haha, maybe! 🤣
No doubt, you can not beat the sound of a Moki radial. Great model. Excellent video Geek.
Thank you and thanks for watching! :)
I knew it had to have a Moki by the sound of it and then I read it it had one. They sound the best.
Man, that thing sounds legit.
This is the most authentic sounding moki radial installation I’ve witnessed to date. It sounds even better in person!
The art work to mimic the aging of the wings is stellar. I'd like to see a video on how such details are done.
I had hoped to work with the builder to get an article written for my website about the weathering he did, but that ended up falling through.
Nice very well detailed, authentic, the engine even sounds like the real one. Great flying and landing. I'm originally from Vegas also.
Extremely detailed, sounds fantastic. I know this weird but the taping fore of the canopy (in reality used to prevent misting the windscreen with oil) is just, right. Can't put my finger on it but it looks "functional" on this one vs. decorative on some of the others I've seen.
The builder used actual tape to simulate the taped fuel tank seem. He used a type of medical tape that really simulates the look perfectly.
That's it then. Should've figured that with the depth of detail everywhere else. Thank you.
Aweeee man!!!! These Moki engines sound beautiful..ive never owned one but I hear their a nightmare to keep running right...correct me if im wrong Moki owners...in my opinion, for the $$$ they better be dependable ....for many years
That warbird looks really real.
All I can say is nice, nice, nice. The plane, the pilot and your video work. The builder even used real tape around the nose as in the real one when they had oil issues. Thank you for posting and God Bless from Florida.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! Very good eye on the tape, the builder/pilot used medical tape to achieve that which was perfect.
Yeah I thought I noticed the serrated edges on the tape as I am all TOO familiar with medical tape (I worked in the window industry most of my life until I became disabled). Went to your home page and decided to subscribe. What video is the "Homer" T-28 from please? Being a huge RC and Simpsons fan, you hit both my loves. Plus if you walk into my house it looks like an air museum so we have a lot in common. Take Care and God Bless.
Hey, thanks so much! I apologize, but which "Homer" T-28 are you referencing. The one in my channel trailer? That video is here: th-cam.com/video/4rzPdBf9_lw/w-d-xo.html
Yes, where the plane is taxying and disappears for a second, we hear a"donk", you move to the left and we see that the pilot misjudged the gate and someone went "DOH". Thank you.
If I had money I would buy all this .... now and immediately !!! Fantastic and brilliant ... Uhhhhh....Appreciate !
I'm with you! I would do the same, haha!
Cómo se sentirían "El Papi y sus chicos " al ver volar en miniatura a sus corsarios excelente demostración de habilidades y destreza
what gets me , is the sound . they sound just like the planes they were made after
That thing is war torn i love it
¡¡¡¡WoW!!!! The detail in the paint is AMAZING!!!!
Omg, it actually sounds like a real Corsair!
Fantastic Video and Model F4U thumb up. From Switzerland greetings Tom
Thanks man!
RIP Hobby People. Where would you say the next best online company would be to visit and shop for something like this bad boy? Giant Scale RC F4U Corsair
Well, in terms of major retailers, horizon hobby (bit.ly/HorizHby) is the largest game in town these days as they bought up tower hobbies about a year or two ago. They have the big Top Flite corsair (bit.ly/3d88UpX). They had the big Hangar 9 one too, but looks like it's no longer available. Another good option for warbird ARFs is VQWarbirds.com. They have a nice and growing selection of various aircraft. Specifically to this Corsair, this one is actually available from Composite-ARF (carf-models.com/en/products/f4u-1d-corsair) and is about as pinnacle a model of the corsair that you can get!
Thanks for not putting some shitty music over this video.
no way, gotta hear that sick radial! :) Unfortunately, some glow guy took off halfway through the flight. :(
That engine sounds 👌 perfect!
That’s pretty damn amazing!!!
Thank you Mr. Geek, that's one of the most beautiful slices of craftsmanship I've ever seen. Superb video!
+Greg Brockway thank you and thanks for watching!
Now all we need is one more Dirty Harry film. Somebody call Mr Eastwood.
Very Nice!! The weathering and detail plus the sound of the Moki..... The perfect ultimate RC model.
Agreed!
Wow, gorgeous!
Damn fine! Can't wait for the teeny superchargers for that whisling death sound. Lol
That thing sounds AMAZING
Best F4U yet. Same we couldn't hear its radial engine singing by its self.
Agreed! The corsair and CARF P-47 were alone in the air for the first little bit but then a glow guy took off half way through the flight. So I tried to work around that as best I could. :(
Need to deploy Triple A battery to take down the glow-plug pests !!
right?! haha
TIme to build in working machine guns ...
Gooolllleee!, It's got it all except pilot is not animatronic.
Mount two of those radials in line and man you really got sumthin! Still totally spectacular.
Oh yeah!
@@Thercgeek wouldn't it be awesome.
Another quality vid Geek. It's a real pleasure to watch. Keep up the great work. Mal
Thank you and thanks for watching! :)
Sounds like the real thing
Just love the look and sound of the Corsair
It's hard to beat!
What a fantastic video!!! That has to be a Moki 250? I have the FlightLine 1600 bubbletop. IMHO the F4U is the most beautiful bird made and is breathtaking coming in to land especially on a carrier approach to show off the wings! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for watching! Agree the Corsair is a timeless design. 😊
What a beauty
This has got to be the best Corsair video I have ever seen or heard. I'm going to ask a stupid question but did you add the sound effects to get a gas motor sound or is this a gas motored rc? The way you faded the paint and gave it a realistic look is outstanding . The detail is flawless ! Awesome awesome video. 👍👍👍
That is the actual sound of the engine in the model. It features a 5-cylinder radial engine in it which is what gives it that authentic sound. Thanks for watching! 😊
Que hermoso sonido de motores! Gracias
An even better option, is to build the entire r/c plane out of 15 guage aircraft aluninum.Scale down the factory blue prints;of the massive 18 cylinder Pratt & Whitney R2800 radial,and build it from scratch to the exact scale of this F-4U-1 Corsair r/c model.Also,add the oil cooling lines; from the oil tank,to the oil pumps and coolers in the leading edge of the wings;because as the plane would make a high speed bombing and strafing run,the cold air rushing over the oil coolers;would produce a high pitched whistling sound;which is why the Japanese nick named the F-4U-1 Corsair "Whistling Death".Built as described above,the r/c model would be more historically acurrate.
I've seen guys build exact scale models completely out of metal at this size. Gets a bit heavy if you're trying to do that for a flying model, but it's absolutely stunning to behold something like that.
@@Thercgeek I have seen an example of an F-4-U4 Corsair of the Korean War period,built entirely out of light weight aircraft aluninum;and was told by the owner that it needed a 4 blade Hamilton prop and landing gear that was hydraulically operated due to the immense torque load the model produced due to its overall weight;when fully loaded with oil and fuel.He had all of the parts fabricated and machined for him at a metal working shop including all of the rivets.All together,it took about 5 to 10 years for him to complete it.This was about 10 years ago;when I went camping at chatfield Reservoir,in Colorado.The state park has a tarmac and a run way for r/c planes and helicopters.
Wow, this thing even sounds like a real F4.
That;s one of the most beautiful and well detailed Corsair I've seen in a long time..
Amazing detail... mind blowing 😳
She needs a polishing... 😂
was built from scratch? who did I take my hat off! respect!
This is actually built from an all composite kit that comes from a company called Composite-ARF: carf-models.com/en/products/f4u-1d-corsair
@@Thercgeek 🤓
Sweet video. Great plane. Thanks for sharing. ~Peace
Now all it needs is six 22 caliber machine guns and the scale will be perfect
