Originally posted by Hugh Wiedman View PostGot 5 flights in on each of 4 birds today including my Corsair. Every time I fly it, I just can't believe how well it flies and lands (at 40% throttle, extra full flaps). Had 10 mph shifting winds, mostly cross winds, and it handled it with ease. Flight Line definitely has the 1600mm prop warbirds dialed in, with ample power and 8 minute flight times on a 5000 mah battery (10 minutes for the Spitfire). What more can you ask for! I have the MR RC sound system in programmed for the double wasp sound and love it. Time for a 1600mm FL nemesis aircraft for these 2!!!!

Great Looking Corsair Mr. Chuck Conners, whoops, meant rifleman! (Hope you're not too young for the reference, as no doubt some are here) She looks outstanding, but then I've never met a Corsair that didn't! At least this particular one does fly just as good as it looks!

Does anyone know which of the wing wires is the landing gear and which is the servos that operate the gear doors? I'm talking about the small computer board they attach to. It's difficult to reach what I need and I don't want to pull out wires needlessly. Hoping someone that has replaced their landing gear can point out the right leads. Thanks.
