While I was watching this my wallet got uncomfortably warm, and at the end it just burst into flames!

My father-in-law (Bob) flew P-47's during the European Theater of WWII. Bob had some great stories of his training period and several year tour in Europe. He passed many years ago ...but I have feeling he would have loved watching this plane fly! BTW: His main P-47 was called Margie after my mother-in-law

Very cool! Thanks for sharing.

Love this plane. What a size and the thrill when flying it low. Just awesome enjoyed it. It is huge even in that pick up truck. I need a much bigger bigger house if i want all these. 🤣

OMG!!!!!!! That is something Steve!!! Darn sold out for the US😢…. LOVE IT!! Steve👍👍👍👍👍

Big plane indeed. Steve, I really enjoy the detail and enthusiasm you put in your video's. Looking forward to your next one.

Congrats on the plane, Steve. I have it for over about 2 years now and it is a beautiful and great flying plane. Two important points about this particular model that every owner should be aware of. 1) The wing electrical connector can work itself lose in flight due to flexing of the wing. Easy remedy is to remove the mounting screws on the connector on the fuselage so that it floats freely. 2) When pushing the battery tray it - make sure that it clicks in securely. I failed to do this once and the battery fell out of the plane during a loop. Believe me - you don't want to be in a situation where you have 0 control of the plane mid-air.

That's a great looking model. Appears to be well made.

OMG!!!! That big Bertha is gorgeous and oh so scale. All of the armaments (those are rocket pods by the way not cannons. lol) look so good. Love the gear. He'll let's face it l love everything about it. The only thing I'm afraid to check is the price.😅😂 If I had to go in debt for a plane it's the plane for me. When It lumbered past the camera and took off I found myself saying "Strafe that lawnmower Captain. You sir are one of the luckiest men on the face of the earth! Steve wakes up, "Hmmm...l wonder what's arrived to play with today?"

Very cool plane. Around here, there's no way you could go out onto a high school field. They're restricted with gates and fences but if you made it onto one the cops would show up and make you leave.

Wow what a beautiful RC plane ✈️🤩

I usually buy small planes because they're cheaper and they fly in smaller spaces. But I have one 1,500 mm motor glider, and I love flying it because it's so easy to see which way it's going, it's much more stable in the air, and if it gets a little further away I can still see it! This looks like an outstanding aircraft. Very scale looking.

Excellent Video. Beautiful P-47 Plane. Thank You Steve.

I am an old dude and I have been fascinated by the RC aircraft hobby for years. I actually purchased a cheap, battery-powered aircraft and flew it into a tree on the third flight. It may be up there to this day. I did discover that there aren't a lot of days when a person can go out flying. It can't be raining, cold or too windy. And of course the plane can't be seen at night. And I'm not sure that I would not tire of the hobby after the 6th flight and the plane would sit permanently idle in the basement. It might be like an exercise bike in that respect.

Cool detail

Це вражаюче відео! FMS P-47 Bonnie дійсно вражає своєю високою деталізацією і реалістичним виглядом. Цей літак RC виглядає дуже професійно і майстерно виготовлений. Зовнішній вигляд, деталі кабіни пілота, крила і кожна частина цього моделі літака виглядають дуже реалістично. Це дійсно один з найкращих літаків RC на ринку, особливо для тих, хто цінує високу деталізацію і реалістичність. Захоплююче, як підкорюють небо ці RC літаки! Відео чудово демонструє їхній потужний тяговий механізм і гарну маневреність. Можна бачити, як вони легко піднімаються у повітря і виконують різні трюки. Любителімоделей літаків точно сподобається дивитися це відео і, можливо, навіть спробувати керувати таким літаком самостійно. Загалом, FMS P-47 Bonnie відповідає своєму репутації одного з найкращих літаків RC на ринку. Його висока деталізація, якісне виготовлення і вражаючий зовнішній вигляд роблять його привабливим вибором для будь-якого модельного літака.

Looking forward to moving across to digital and very much looking forward to fpv’ing this beaut 😃✊

You'll enjoy it for sure. The park where I fly is only used by the city grounds crew in the early mornings. The kids showing up at that hour was 100% unexpected. However, the nearby school is aware that the sports field is used by the city for all kinds of activities so they just live with it.

Radio Control model aviation has operated in Canada for some 70 years. It has an exemplary safety record and until recently has been self regulating. Interestingly, we have experienced the rapid growth of a new branch of our hobby that has drawn enough unwanted attention to cause the regulator, Transport Canada, to step in. You know what I am talking about. The result has been the entire hobby is now being regulated to death "in the interest of safety". For those of us who have been around awhile, it was easy to point to the fact that our hobby was safe. We have gone to extraordinary lengths to be responsible, and to show both regard and respect for persons and property so as to not put either at risk. And then a video like this shows up. It clearly shows a complete disregard for either. While you may be showing off your gee whiz shiny new P47, the rest of us are waiting for the fallout when Transport Canada, who has the same access to youTube as everyone else throws your video back in our face saying, in part, this is why we regulate. There is "that guy". In his video he showed no regard for the safety of other users of the field including the tractor driver, and no adherance to the norms of the hobby in place to promote safety. So my final comment would be, smarten the hell up. Those of us that are using a little common sense are being regulated to hell as a result of the actions of those like you that lack it.

I have worked with TC for many years (check out my earlier vids). I was also the first or in the top 5 of people to be certified by TC as an RPAS pilot, so if you were a subscriber to my channel, you'd see all is well. This vid however, is a case of kids showing up on a field at 6:30am (unplanned) and running along side me. They were all warned (verbally by me) to watch above them for the next 5 mins which is why you can see they were all aware of my plane and insisted on running along the grass to allow me the runway. Now, I don't want to scare you, but in the fall of 2024 you will see additional TC Remote ID regs beginning in Canada and everyone will have to adapt in order to fly over 250 gram RPAS products.

Wow! Love the Jug, Thanks for the review. I think I need this one😊

I will admit this is a beautiful model. Ok, there is a Detail Flaw I immediately noticed in the Propeller. The Hamilton Standard Air-Screw Decals are in the incorrect location. They need to be further down the blade of the prop close to the Spec Tags at the Hub, additionally the Prop itself is slightly out of scale for the model. Other than those two details, (because I am currently working on a Static 1:32 Scale P47-N the model is absolutely beautiful! Now on an intended Humor Note, It really needs to sound like A Pratt & Whitney. The sound of the electric motor is just not right. But again a minor detail. 😄

If you can fly the super EZ without problems then get this one with the FMS REFLEX and it will fly like the super EZ. Of course you’ll need to add a receiver and buy a radio.

Loctite on the four propeller screw/nuts or are the nuts lock type with the nylon insert? Nice plane...nice flying...very nice landing.

During the war, it was nicknamed " THE FLYING TANK " A German fighter followed one back across the english channel,constantly chewing up the TANK that was outa ammo. The hun ran out also & went home, leaving the 47 to fly on home, somehow. Guess hoo hit the beer garden ?

I fly a Mavic 3 classic and it'll only record for 3:02 and then stop and start over. Do you have any idea as to why it'll only record for 3:02. I've bought new SD cards, reformatted them and the drone. I use a SanDisk extreme V30. I've use a bigger and a smaller one. No change. If you've flown this drone can you share with me how long you can record for. I've called DJI and they cannot trouble shoot it over the phone. Any suggestions, anything on the settings?

@CAPTAINDRONE798

11 ай бұрын

All consumer DJI drones record multiple files. So if you record for 10 minutes you’ll end up with at least 3 or 4 files. You’d have to move up to a professor camera drone to get one continuous file.

One suggestion to offer is to show us wing stall behaviour on all these planes. World War II style fighter with elliptical planform wings are famous for killing pilots with tip stalling near the ground. That planes stabilization system may make a really difficult plane easy to fly. With it off, do this testing well off the ground. That landing looked smooth, but was stability control on? Trying to flare going too slow might end as a crash without stability control. I like the variety of planes and all the reviews. Your house must be getting pretty full of planes.
