Very impressive plane. Well done. When landing an airplane of its size it can chew up a lot of runway.

I just want to say this pilot of the P-47 is extremely fortunate, to have such a beautiful wife who shares his enthusiasm in RC flying. The professionalism displayed in his flying skill is beyond reproach, the detail in all the control surfaces, it just looks so real. I'd love to attend the next soonest get together and see this aircraft in action. What a plane. For what it's worth, I'm leaving a "Thumbs up", a subscription, and a tap on the bell, I'm willing to settle for watching this team on video. Thanks for taking the time to share with us who don't get to attend the meets.

Awesome and welcome to the channel 😉

For everyone complaining about it not having a radial engine... There simply aren't any mass produced options available that have a sufficient power to weight ratio. This aircraft uses a 500cc ZDZ quad that weighs 31.75lb with the ignition system and makes 50hp. It's the largest engine ZDZ makes and as such was also the limiting factor of the overall size of the aircraft. The only radial engine I know of that comes close to that kind of power is the Valach Motors 800cc 7 cylinder which only makes 45hp and weighs 62lb, twice the weight of the engine currently used in this aircraft. Likewise, Moki doesn't even make a radial larger than 400cc so they aren't even a contender. Money obviously wasn't a concern when building this aircraft, the only limitations were the available components. The engine used was chosen out of necessity. The 2 blade prop is also necessary due to the limitations of the engine.

Thanks you for explaining. Most people won't get. It amazing job. I fly pistons too but the biggest I have is extra 300s 500. Question: how was the engine limited to have 4 blade prop?

Back in the day Frank and the boys flew by the seat of their pants. No computer radios, no expo. Just pilots and heavy metal.👌🏽

What? You mean the original full-size P-47 didn't have exponential on its control surfaces?

My favorite WWII aircraft and she's beautiful.

Wow beautiful plane you can keep your Mustangs I'm a jughead for life!!!!

Only thing missing is the noise of the machine guns!

Jesus. The Nerves must have been Insane when he Maidened that plane. I'm sure there not much better now. But man. It takes an incredible amount of Moxie to fly a model like that! Well Done. Thats the Biggest problem I Have taking my planes out for the first/second flight is the Dancing Thumbs....

I probably saw this in Oshkosh but had no idea it was an RC plane because it’s so big LOL !

Love the plane, can't stand the sound of it.

You separate the Men from the boys, by the size of their toys!!!....AND how they fly them!!!! Nice job!!!! Keep the dream alive!!! Have Mario Seidel make you a 4 blade and finish the look!! That propeller has no business being on that plane. “ if you’re goin to play the game boy, you gotta play it right”!!

That Jug is amazing!! Missing two propeller blades .

THIS IS HOW THE EXPERT PILOT'S DO IT .... HAT'S OFF TO EM'

Hey Thanks beautiful bird thanks for sharing

Something like this really needs 360 degree articulating FPV 😁

If only pratt and whitney made motors for RC planes.

I saw this P47 at 12 o’clock high in Florida 2017 I think, glad to see the canopy on it. Truly an amazing plane

Now THAT is the sport of MODEL AVIATION!!!

9:24 works for me - so cool.

*65 horsepower.* My 1946 Luscombe 8A came from the factory with a 65 horsepower continental four cylinder boxer engine. It has a 35 foot wingspan and a 35mph landing speed.

Such a beauty doing just counterclockwise circles ...

Exceedingly cool. And the best thing about it = his wife isn't there with a scowl on her face when you come back from being at the flying field all day!

Sweet!

120 lbs...50 hp.... That sounds about right!?!?;) She's one big beautiful bouncing bahama mama!! Thanks Wes n Boozers for sharing this. AirHammer out!!

Lucky man -- your wife (the owner) is very attractive. (BTW, the plane is nice, too.)

Fantastic bird and flight. OMG I didn’t know Frank has passed, I met him many times at his Fla jets events, Frank was a little crude and rude but the man would give you the shirt off his back ... he treated me like a long lost cousin one year making sure I had everything I needed to get lots of flying in after all my stuff except my plane got lost in shipping one year. God speed Frank.

It’s just hard to run the 4 blade prop there actually not very good performance in the RC world a two blade will always be more efficient

I find it hard to understand, why people go so far in detail, but then install a two blade prop on a Warbird, that NEVER had one!? I had to put at least a three blade on my "47", as it just does not look right with two.

2 blade prop?

awesome fighter i liked the bombing run and the machine guns chattering

why not use a 4-bladed prop?

Why don't any of these tail dragger guys taxi with the elevator full up like you're supposed to?

Needs a 4 blade prop .

wtf GUNS!!!!!!

I expected a deeper throated sounding engine which I would have compared to a Moki 400. That an electric engine?

Would a 4 blade prop move a 4 cycle engine?

Wow, this is the most beautiful scale plane I have ever seen. The detail in that cockpit & the size. Just Wow!!! But yes, I agree with others here, A radial engine, Moki makes a 400cc or do some machine work and combine two Moki 250cc for a total of 10 cylinders to keep your HP & Torque. The sound would be much more accurate and get a 4 blade prop. Even if only for display. You may need to commit some serious crimes to pay for those Moki engines though. I have a large F4U that I cannot find a 4 blade that flies well in the correct diameter for scale. I do not have the funds for a custom made prop. So it displays with a correct scale three blade or four blade (I have both). But it flies best with a slightly smaller "scale incorrect" four blade??? Go figure. Happy Landings.

Fantástic! Engine?

But why 2-blade prop?

needs a 4 bladed prop....

P-47 had four bladed props

Because the weirdest people fly in our hobby. Apparent by the amount of pilots that blame drone pilots and other modelers for the FAA regulation rather than the real reason. Google and amazon literally buying ama and the faa as well as the air space we fly in.

Only thing that would make it perfect is if it were a four bladed prop like a real P-47
