REALLY enjoyed this video, John! Beautifully and skilfully flown, too. Thank you for sharing this flight in the *perfect* Mojave RC playground. It looks almost like a computer simulation, but it's all natural beauty. A bit like the P-47. I bought mine to complete a collection of 1.2m E-flite warbirds (my all-time favourite type and size of RC) and wasn't that particularly struck by its looks. However, once I got it airborne, *everything* about my perception of the P-47 changed. This model commands the air and has so much presence, and from that, the real beauty of the P-47 snagged this Brit. I love mine and we can all see you adore yours, John.

Thank you so so much for the inspired and gracious comments Gina! Like you, I think the 1.2m size is just about PERFECT, and although I wasn't particularly taken by the P-47's looks (and that horrific thing on the port side near the nose 🤣), I did know that P-47's have a reputation for being superb flyers. WOW, this one didn't let me down one iota!! I'm so glad to hear you like the scenery; there's a special beauty in the starkness of the desert, and flying on a dry lake really frees you up to let rip without fear of anything to crash into (besides terra firma!), and landings are a piece of cake! Cheers to you and Alan my friend!

Good flight - and an especially nice landing. Wow - what a wonderful place to fly. Land into the wind - no matter what direction.

Thank you my friend! And YES, the dry lakebed makes for a perfect place for a maiden; no trees to worry about, flat as a pancake, and as you said, you can land in any direction. All the best to you!

At first I thought "dang that looks good!" Then I remembered it was Brent's. Lol. That boy don't leave anything stock...lol. Great flying brother! As P-47's go...yours is a looker!

Hah! Yessir, Brent can't leave anything stock! Truth be told, I asked him to dirty it up a bit and he literally knocked this out in 20-30 minutes while I stood there watching. Simply amazing. I love this RC community!!

Thank you very much Joel, I really appreciate the kind words! This P-47 is an absolute joy to fly! The winds are truly bad here in the Mojave right now, but I plan on trying a couple of types of 4s batteries when able. Can't wait to get this one back on the air 😎👍😁

Great flight! I assume you got that from Brent? P-47's always fly great.

Hi my friend! This is at Calico Dry Lake, one of the many dry lake beds scattered all throughout the high desert of Southern California. They're perfect RC fields because they are totally wide open, there's nothing to crash into, and if the wind shifts, you simply change your landing direction! Blue skies and happy landings to you!
