CORSAIR CRASH!!! 85 inch wingspan maiden voyage
The maiden voyage of a giant scale WWII warbird is a time of great excitement and anticipation for both the builder and the test pilot. It can also be a time of great frustration.
During the test flight of this Giant Scale Corsair, the ailerons developed 'flutter' (high frequency vibration) which caused a loss of control and the resulting crash.
And for all you teenagers out there, if the music seems dated, the video was made in 1990.
