Your lady is an amazing camera talent.
Also really enjoy the interaction between you two.
This has become my primary RC channel.
Been flying RC and full scale 30 years.

A very good Wednesday evening to you all in the USA from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧

They are good little planes. Really some of the better fliers for their size

[FlyTimeRC]

They make good planes for the money. Their Corsair and p51 were the planes my son and I learned on. They are fun in expert mode!! Great trainers to.

[AL-RCjunkie]

I do love how these little warbirds are getting better and better. But, I'd lose my crap if I had 6 or 8 or a friggin dozen transmitters falling all over themselves in my wife's knitting dungeon- which has recently been invaded by my other planes... and an NX8, still in the box... until Christmas 😢😂
I am totally getting one of my sons a little heli, though. He's proficient with quads. I think he'll dig a sub250g heli.
Awesome review.
Amazing camera crewing!!!
and Merry Christmas!!! 👍

[harishvathreya]

Some passes were so scale looking, amazing flying skills, such a joy to watch!! 👏

[randallandrews]

Pretty gal.
Had my littles out this week. Spitty and Corsair.
So much fun.

I have a few of the different 400mm Volantex warbirds. I found that on the 2 bladed prop tail dragers, I give a little up elevator before any throttle. That keeps the nose up a little and prevents the prop from hitting the ground on takeoff.

Hiya Brian, I'd never considered Volantex until your review...I've just ordered one...I'm in the UK so I can't use your linc. I'll let the channel know how I get on as I'm a returning pilot. Keep on keeping on with your extended format....love it. Pete.

Thanks for reviewing this. I've never been a big fan of the P47 but this is one of the more detailed/advanced versions with clear cockpit and beep warnings for range and battery level. Agree Volantex are great. Flying inverted in Midd mode is impossible because it will try to self-right still. This can however be achieved in expert mode but takes some doing. In Midd mode a loop needs to be in line with the wind, or it will turn as you found out. Still great fun either way, and I actually enjoy flying in windy days now. I have 15 of these and flown then over 150 days of flying. The Red Tail Mustang is still the best flyer in expert and you can fly at very low speeds, and it glides nicely. One-touch return in not needed, as it doesn't work well lol. By the way you can peel off the transmitter clear protective covers if you want (25:25 where it says aerobatics for e.g.) and get a cleaner finish. My next plan is to fly in the snow. when snowing, just because it can.

These 400 mm series of planes are great, love my P-51 and BF-109. They can fly in a good bit of wind given their size. I have multi-protocol radio and was able to link up to these guys. Takes some tweaking but now I can set expo and fly manually, better all the time. Still able to switch back to stabilized mode the only thing I lost was the automatic tricks feature.

[dasimparmy]

Just got this one for myself and my son got the P40 so we can get into the hobby together. Thank you for the video my son is super excited to get out and fly watching your video!

[jjisfishing]

I have the corsair v2 and its an absolute beast in the air

[billbright]

That wind sock is epic and the power poles are gone.

[VancePlante]

Flies much better on the Radiomaster tx16s multi protocol transmitter. The edge TX version comes with the warbird series preprogrammed.

[steveessex]

Man your camera crew is the best on youtube smooth baby smooth

[williamcrane]

I found CG at 18mm from the front wing/fuse joint makes Expert mode flying normal. Mine was about a centimeter behind that. But that Gyro kept it in check in beginner and sport. Put it in Expert though and it was find that switch to put it back into sport or beginner. at 18mm, I was doing loops and rolls almost like my larger planes but I had 5-10 mph winds and it only weighs 2 ounces.

[RC-Deathsqaudron-zviq]

These little planes are great in small areas and in the wind. I have a few different ones.

[fidsey]

I have a few of these including the sport cub 500, i have them bound to my Radiomaster Tx16s, they fly great off gyro with plenty of expo and rates!!!

[claudeladow]

I've found that I can cut quite a bit off the prop with out any consequence. Helps with landing w/o prop coming off.
