FLIGHT
We recommend that you take it easy with your Corsair for
the first several flights, gradually “getting acquainted” with
this great model as your engine gets fully broken in. If you
feel as though you have your hands full, keep this in mind:
pull back on the throttle stick to slow the model down. This
will make everything happen a little slower and allow
yourself time to think and react. Add and practice one
maneuver at a time, learning how the Corsair behaves in
each. For smooth flying and normal maneuvers, use the
low rate settings as listed on page 53.
Sometime well before it’s time to land, you should climb
your Corsair to a safe altitude, cut the throttle to an idle,
lower the flaps and check out the model’s low speed
characteristics. Do this a few times so you know what to
expect upon landing and how the Corsair handles stalls.
LANDING
When it’s time to land, fly a normal landing pattern and
approach. Lower the flaps keeping a few clicks of power
on until you are over the runway threshold. For your first
few landings, plan to land slightly faster than stall speed.
Have a ball! But always remember to think about your next
move and plan each maneuver before you do it.
Impulsively “jamming the sticks” without any thought is
what gets most fliers in trouble rather than lack of flying
skill. Happy Landings!
