In this video, I fly an RC warbird for the first time - the new 750mm (30") H-King F4U Corsair, which features Hobbyking`s 6 Axis ORX Flight Stabilizer.
I`d consider myself a "beginner-mediate" pilot and this model was a challenge for me, but definitely a step in progression for my flight journey. And yes, crashing is part of that! A few things I learned: - Don`t throttle up too fast on take-off (or the model will torque to the left). Also would not suggest on a windy day! - Hand launch the first few flights - Needed some nose weight, so I ended up using a 1300 mAh battery (otherwise it might need some stick on weights in the nose) - Don`t fly too slow (or it may stall) Spare parts should be available a little later in the spring according to HK. Thank you to Hobbyking who supplied product for this review. Views are my own. **Disclaimer: For the first release of these, the stabilizer that comes pre-installed will need to be replaced with an updated one, which will come included with your order.

THE MIG MAIDENED VERY WELL IN THE GUSTING 15 MPH WIND BUT DUE TO THE BRITTLE NATURE OF THE PLASTIC SHE SIMPLY BROKE UP ON THE SLIGHTLY HARD LANDING - PITY AS THERE IS POTENTIAL THERE !
