can any one give me tips.. im gonna try my new 5 channel corsair and wanna know if there are any things i should know before flying it and most likly blowing it up</p>

Have you ever flown anything before??

Ken

I agree. If you haven't flown anything before, your Corsair is likely doomed.

Which Corsair is it by the way? Is it a big plane? Small plane? Balsa? Foamie? Electric? Fuel? This info would help us to try to help you.

i have flown a hobbyzone super cub and been able to fly in 3omph+ winds and it is the parkzone corsair foamie i can also do many maunevers with the SC though i dont know how much it helps

A foamie Parkzone electric... flying it in 30 MPH + winds?

Ummm... a tad bit of exaggeration, there, foehammer. [X(]

I woudn't even fly my heavy glow powered plane in over 20 mph winds.

CGr.

no i was using my SC and i dont know wind but it was strong enough to hover my plane horizontally on full throttle

This PZ Corsair is much friendlier than a larger, scale Corsair but still not as friendly as the Super Cub. Basically just stick to the instructions that come with the Corsair. I'd keep it on low rates at first. It likes a few clicks of throttle on landing. The main thing to keep in mind though is that it going to be much faster and react much quicker than your Cub; it won't be nearly as forgiving.

well i assumed that but like how much should i flare on landings or such?

Keep your speed up on landings and just keep gently feeding in elevator to keep it level. When the main wheels are about to touch, gently let go of the elevator and cut the throttle. It should settle in nice on the mains, roll for a bit then drop the tail. The amount of throttle needed will depend on the wind you are landing into.

It also likes a little right rudder on takeoff. Nothing extreme, just a slight, gentle nudge. You can generally let go when the tail is up and it's rolling straight at a decent speed.

The foamie Corsair is actually a pretty good flying plane. You will definitely want to fly it on low rates at first, and if at all possible have someone buddy box with you for the first few flights. The Corsair is a 4 channel plane, the SC is a 3 channel plane. The controls on the tx are very different, and you will need to learn to fly a plane with ailerons.
Also, if you switch to the 3 blade prop it came with, it will slow it down a bit. Might be better until you learn to fly it.
I'm currently teaching someone to fly his, he just stepped up from a mini Cub. I'm buddy boxing with him, and it is a great way to teach and learn from.

C'mon Chuck, a newbie that can fly a 25 ounce foamie in 30+ MPH winds can certainly do without your landing tip/technique.

30MPH wind and that Corsair will be in the next state before anyone finds it.

ha very funny guys im thinking of posting its maiden on youtube if i can find the recorder...and my grandpa broke the 3blade while showing how to avoid curbes as i tacke of in parking lots of schools with big fields

foehammer, when you do maiden it, just try to get as much altitide as possible right away, that way you will have room to correct if anything is out of trim. Once it's up, just practice steady level flight, and slow easy turns. It's not like the Super Cub, with aeilerons, you want to start the bank using the aeilerons (right stick on the tx) and then add some up elevator to bring the plane around. You will have to come out of the bank with opposite aeileron, as the Corsair doesn't self correct like the Cub. You can use the rudder to turn (left stick on the tx), but you will want to learn how to use the aeilerons and elevator to turn for the most part.

ya i know that underwings dont level out and its super powerd i also know about turs banks and lopde loops(not gonna try)

ohh also should i land on asphalt or grass(preferably not a tree)

If you take off from grass it needs to be really short or the plane will probably nose over. Landing might be safer in tall grass. LOL. On pavement, you had better land properly or you will likely break the landing gear or prop.

ok but if i come back to tell you i landed in cow turds because i landed in grass on o nearby farm...

As long as it's seperated from the cow by a good distance, you'll be ok!

ok but then comes after i get comfy with the plane... what stunts can it do but most importantly can it do high alpha[8D]

The Corsair is capable of several maneuvers. It can do at least these and probably more:
Loop, Roll, Inverted, Split S, Immelman, Cuban 8, Stall turns.

It has relatively small control surfaces so it is probably not a great choice for high alpha tricks.

Once you are comfortable with it, push the limits and see what it can do.
