Hey Y'all, While doing more research for my Corsair, I ran across this gallery website of WW II photos. It is truly amazing and contains photos of aircraft, though it has photos of many/most aspects related to all branches of service. Incredible. Sadly, I cannot find a "Search" function to focus the work, so grab a beverage and enjoy. Best LB

I guess it will be till it ain’t lol.
that's how you should fly a corsair.

Well, I finally joined the Corsair Club. I’m a warbird nut, but almost entirely focused on the ETO and MTO. I’ve never been much of a PTO enthusiast admittedly, but the beautiful Corsair has always been a plane that I wanted in my collection. When this 1.6m F4U-1 was released, I knew that I’d have to get one. I just hadn’t popped on one yet. Yesterday, that changed. A buddy of mine had bought, and flown 4 times, the Marine Birdcage Corsair. He’s not a warbird guy, and flying the big Corsair was giving him more stress than enjoyment. So, yesterday, he made me a deal that I couldn’t pass up, then threw in the 3 6S-5AH-50C batts that he’d bought for it. It was a major score!! I’ve now programmed the F4U-1 into my DX9, and everything looks great, electrically and mechanically. If the rain holds off this afternoon, I hope to get her airborne.---

I'll double down on that comment but just make it 2050mm to keep the elitists that still hold on to the defunct IMAA rules for their large scale events off our backs .
Charlie I hope you are coming to the warbird event on sept 21?

I maidened my new-to-me Corsair this past Saturday. The maiden was fantastic! Easy to take off, flew beautifully, and easy to land with half flaps and throttle. Nothing at all spectacular about the flight. It was a typical maiden...
Then, on the second flight, it fed me a huge slice of humble pie. Easy take off and flight. Lined up on a nice approach. Half flaps as I was turning on to base, then final. Then, as I approached the threshold of the runway, I flipped flaps to full (4-sec deployment). I noticed the drop in speed and drop in altitude. I was throttling back up to compensate, but didn’t get on the throttle aggressively enough. She tip stalled about 6’ off the ground and did a somersault landing. Man! Was I ever mad at myself for dumb-thumbing that approach so badly. Cracked the wing in the saddle. It’ll be an easy Foam Tac repair. My pride is damaged waaaaaay more than the plane.---
