Now fly Jeff's Monster Corsar! Modified and enlarged Realfight Corsair looks and fly's very similar to Jeff Quesenberry's very large rc Corsair. Jeff's Corsair specs out at 152 inch span, 90 pounds, flaps, Husqvarna 240 twin for power, Menz 32-12 prop.
For the ultimate realism fly it just as Jeff describes it here:
"The Corsair is a real pussycat to fly, but I will try to describe it. Take off roll, without flaps, is about 150 feet. The tail comes up almost immediately, and I have to be ready for rudder. Once it gets about 10 feet off the ground, it will drop about 2-4 feet as it gets out of ground effect. To alleviate this, I now take off with 30 degrees of flap. The take-off roll is shortened to about 75-100 feet, and the tail comes up even quicker, but there is not sagging after it leaves the ground. It remains very solid. It makes for a nice looking take-off. I always take off with flaps now. It requires all of the right rudder I can muster to keep it straight on take-off roll. The rudder is very effective. On climb out, I have to hold about 40-50% rudder until my first turn to keep it straight.
In flight, it flies very light and will do loops, rolls, immelmans, etc. I have to use rudder in turns to keep the tail up or it will sag...no rudder = ugly turns. Ailerons are very effective and I always use high rates.
Setting up for landing, I reduce to 3/4 throttle and drop the gear, the drag is immediately noticeable, as the nose pitches down slightly. I retrim (no computer here...I do it like the real guys....manual). I then drop the flaps to full, 52 degrees, last measured, and again the drag is very evident. The nose baloons up slightly and then pitches down slightly to a nose low attitude. I trim for slightly nose down and drive it all the way to the ground. I carry about 3/4 throttle of the edge of the field and then reduce to 1/2 throttle. I chop it to idle just before the wheels touch down. It hates 3 point landings, but will drive on to the mains very softly if done right. I only have one bounced landing in 50 flights.....Jeff

If using the Realflight controller set your throttle trim to high. This controller does not have idle only trim and mid trim will not produce full throttle. If you only set trim in middle position you will lack full power. To land reduce throttle trim to low.
You need Realfight add-on volume 1 to use this plane
