I am jonesing for that P-47!! You did a great job on the Jug, and it looks like a wide Envelope Flyer (based on Wing style).
I'm at a distinct disadvantage over the others here, as I don't have a Printer, Money, or especially the dexterity for ALL that cutting....
I'm hoping it becomes popular enough to become a Speed Build Kit.
Kudos Brother!!

Thanks! I am not sure yet when I will finish the build video for the P-47 but all I have to do is finish that because the plans are done.

Thanks! And yes it can go extremely slow and fast if you want it to. Unfortunately I don’t think this will become a speed build kit because Flitetest just released their P-47 bubble top/Razorback (which still flies amazing).
I just looked at the FT P-47 build video. I think I like the way you designed your formers (around the box frame) much better.

Yeah I mean both work I just believe my way is a little easier. That box frame also adds so much support if happen to have a rough landing (or crash). That's why I make sure to add it into all my designs. Not sure when my build video will be done I just have to make sure everything is perfect before releasing it.
Looking forward to it!

If they are 90% accurate or better,just release them the way they are. i know the feeling about wanting things perfect, but sometimes it just takes too much time. i would like to try your build and and maybe I could give some feed back if it doesn't go perfectly.

Well I guess its not more of the plans being perfect but more of the build video. However, by how much people want to build it I will post the plans tomorrow.

I think you’ll make a lot of people happy if you do just that

....... If I could get someone to cut it for me, that would be perfect for this arthritic old Fart. That's the only thing really stopping me from real Scratchbuilding of FT Aircraft.
But it really does look like a winner 🏆!!

Any luck posting the plans? I cant wait to get started.

Of course I look at the plans and realize I'm missing a piece. The problem with posting plans for me is that I have to trace the piece on paper, have my dad scan it in at work, do his magic by putting it on the plans, then release them. I always feel so bad waiting to post plans or not posting plans when I say I will post them. I am sorry for all the hiccups but that is why posting plans for me is always weird. Overall plans should be up tomorrow.

No problem, sometimes stuff like that happens. I guess we wait till tomorrow.
Don't feel bad. We all appreciate what you are doing. Even the great Sponz has hiccups from time to time. Hopefully, you're not feeling pressured to meet a deadline. Thanks for the effort!

How did the C-47 fly?
Niez13

It flew amazing. Just so smooth and stable just like the real thing. When I first launched it, it was just rock solid with no wing rock (that's with the props both spinning in the same direction too). I do have to do some tweaking like making it a fold over wing because it didn't handle tight turns the best.

Wow that's great! Are you using powerpods on the set up?
