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.

Strong Santa Ana conditions on Jan 19 2021 provided enough wind for Spencer Lisenby to bring the dynamic soaring speed record back to its birthplace of Parker Mountain, CA
