Official FlightLine F4U-1A Corsair 1600mm (63") Wingspan

But did you check the 3 motor wires that go from the ESC to the motor? Are they solid? Is one maybe barely connected?
Are ALL plugs into the RX in the correct polarity? IE, black/brown to (-). Is your bind plug removed after binding?

Thanks - I'll run through the check list again.

[Cws]

Mine will do that when I first power up an airplane that has the throttle reversed on the ESC compared to the throttle on my transmitter.

What radio and receiver are you using bro?

Thanks - I'll run through the check list again.

Also make sure the throttle trim is clicked as low as it will go. Do the throttle calibration.

I've got a Spektrum DX7 and the new Spektrum antenna-less AR620 receiver

I apologize... You had stated that before a week or two back....:Straight-Face: Sorry!!!! ;)

Yes, but NP - I'm still having problems. I'll work through it though. Every little bit helps.... Thanks for your comments.

Weren't you having some problems with the AR620? If you check through all the stuff that's been mentioned and it still gives you problems, I'd suggest putting in a different, older and known good RX. Those new antenna-less Spektrums give me the eebbie geebies.

I know that sometimes the ESC calibration or initializing can go wrong. unfortunately, I could not find any video help for Flightline or Freewing ESC's.... but this one will work

LOL Yes, I can imagine! And you'd be surprised what:Scared: falls to the canopy top when inverted as well. True story. Best, LB

LOLOLOL! LOLLOLLOL I'd love to hear it and if it's what I think you may be implying I definitely want to know how that works.

Crew: "...so I say to her, ever see one of these babies up close?" And she says "Yeah, but I've never sat in one." Best. LB

No, the AR620 worked beautifully in my FMS 1450 Mustang and I have it in other birds too without a hitch but I'm still going to check it out. Thanks!

A hearty thank you to Elbee for providing us all with updated .STL files for the Birdcage version. The updated .STL files for the Bubbletop are coming soon. You can download the Birdcage cockpit .STL files at the support tab here or click here for the direct link to the .ZIP files.

Thanks Elbee!

Got it! THANKS! This may be the ticket. I've never had to do that on any plane before but then again, this is the very first PNP new out of the box plane for me. I've had a lot of ARFs but did my own motor install and ESC programming so I bet calibration is the ticket. Stay tuned.

Looking forward myself to getting our MotionRC EU bird in the air tomorrow for the test flight and to airing my choice of scheme, FG-1D Corsair G-FGID (representing British Fleet Air Arm machine, KD345 of 1850 Squadron during September 1945, when they were embarked on HMS Vengeance of the British Pacific Fleet). I've seen the full size many time at Duxford, and being a Brit myself, it seemed like the logical choice ;) The great thing about representing an airshow circuit bird, I don't need to be concerned with weathering . Its been a while since I used yellow on a model too, I forgot just how many coats it needs to look presentable, close to 15 on the cowl, from an acrylic based spray can, a compressor would have been ideal, but is still on the wish list.

Please excuse the kiddies toys and mess in the photo, but for anyone with a young family I'm sure this is a familiar sight, parents and kids toys in every room at one point or another :D Oh and the mess, kids went to sleep and I chose to work on the bent wing bird, then tidy up for the night! Left the Rx at work too, so she'll be finally set up and on her legs in the morning.

A HUGE thank you to Callie at Callie graphics for the decals for KD345, they arrived just this afternoon and were, as always, a pure pleasure to work with and look great too IMO. One thing of note, in a previous post I sung the praises of our hinge tape (blendurm) for masking, it is amazing, but I forgot the one cardinal rule when applying it, you need to apply it you jeans/trousers before applying it to the model, to reduce the tackiness of it, otherwise, well, I think some of you can see the problem if you look closely enough. It has a temporary color fix on it now and will be made 100% once I get a color match.

We plan to shot an additional flight review tomorrow all being well with the weather, so keep an eye out for that coming a little later.

Looks great! Good job Stuart!

[Aros]

Doh! Thanks for the correction Elbee...Had Bubbletop on the brain. LOL

Stuart, looks great!

[Elbee]

Hey all, has anyone printed and installed the OEM MotionRC 3DPUP cockpit kit in the Bubble Top? I just need a confirmation on whether the original Side Panels fit in length, i.e., from the Instrument Panel to the Rear Cockpit Panel in the Bubble Top. If these are too long, what is the correct length? There might be a difference between the Birdcage and the Bubble Top in this regard. Any assist here would be greatly appreciated. Best, LB

Kiddie toys NO Problem..... In fact I'm glad to see you have a "Fisher Price Garage" My sons loved theirs (they're now 37 and 40) and now my granddaughters play with it all the time. It's indestructible and will outlast me! LOLLOLLOL
