Official FMS 1700mm F4U Corsair V2 Thread

Lame troubles so far. Gear isnt working properly, dead aileron servo...This is my 3rd FMS plane and it's always the same thing. Beautiful planes with sketchy electronics. :Sleepy:

Anyway... does anyone know why the gear only wants to work when it's upside down... :Confused:

I checked all the wiring. Everything is plugged in fine. I'm so confused.

If you do this retract mod you'll not have anymore gear problems.

Ha!!! AWESOME.... Love your taste in aircraft sir!
Is that some light airbrushing on the Corsair? If so! it ROCKS! Well Done.

Yes! Very light airbrushing on the Corsair. Thanks!

Very subtle! Very effective. It takes the unattractive gloss away.
Less is more!!

Just got a f4u off eBay used. It was listed with all (yes all) electronics inoperative. Got the plane for a great price. It arrived, I started diag. And yes, all the servos,retracts and Esc are dead. The ESC has a bad burn where the receiver power wire is, all servos have a burn out on their board. The right aleron servo has much worse damage than the others. Have there been any issues with servo and or ESC failures like this? Hate to replace the bad components with components that are questionable. Also FYI, the 25g and 17g servos are not completely metal geared. The first 2 gears off the drive motor are plastic.
thanks

How old was the plane and who did you get it from. If it was motion and resonably new im sure motion would help you.

Hi I am buying this plane this week and i have read that it has a lack of power issue. I am looking at getting a Propdrive v2 5060 380KV motor and a Mystery Cloud 100a UBEC ESC. I was also looking to use a 5000mAh 7s .lipo for not only the extra power but i also read that it need quite a bit of weight in the nose so i might as well get a higher voltage battery. Lastly is there anything else that i might want to do before i fly it? Lastly i am looking intp a shockwave sound system. Anyone have a sound system and how does it affect the plane in air? Thank you

It seems like the power should bee good , just remember that the stock prop may not handle more power. I have not upgraded my power system, but finding a nice 4 bladed prop that wont break the bank is what holds me back drom power upgrades. Becareful to make sure motor/esc can handle 7s.

[Aros]

If you upgrade your power system most definitely make sure to upgrade your stock prop. That thing will shatter with the upgraded power system you mention. I would look at the Biela 3 or 4 blade props for both performance and scale appeal.

HI
First thank you for all of your advice !! So from what i have read from you guys and other forums i think i know what i would like to do. I am looking at getting the FMS 360kv motor and i would like to also take care of the prop problem but i do not know where to find what i am looking for its a must for me to have 4 blades i know that they have there drawbacks but i am flying with a few friends this summer for a bunch of VIP's !!!! They are all WWII vets and its very important that i looks its part . Knowing this i am going to be doing as many flights with it that i can and i dont want to use something else and the day come put the 4 blade on and have it act up . So any help on the prop would be great !! Now i am looking at the Shockwave Sound system .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdjZ...0dbK7yTvu8-iUG . Its the system in the above video the battery C rating i know that with my jets that having a higher C rating really helps overall power so i am looking at a 5000mAh 6s 60c . I know that this is alot of work that i am asking for but trust me i will do everything in my power to make this the best day these HERO's can have !!! So any help would really help me out and again thanks !!!!

Scroll down towards the bottom of this page and you will see their list of "Four Blade Semi-Scale Corsair" props as I do not know the exact prop you need for your particular power system.
