*Unofficial* FT P-47 Thunderbolt

Thanks! I think you're going to enjoy the build. You've probably seen the negative reviews of the build video, but I didn't see any issues. I added the detachable wing mod, balsa reinforcement in the center of the fuselage, and a wooden dowel in the leading wing edge- recommend them for anyone building this model. Hat tip to Cabmantim (again) for the cool mod ideas from his Youtube video.

Where are you guys getting the magnets for these? I built my Corsair with neodymium magnets I found around my house. But for the p-47 I wanted it to be a much cleaner build so no random lumps in the wing cover 😅

I use a ton of these little 6 X 2 mm jobbies from Amazon. Gorilla glue and a piece of packing tape across the top seems to do the trick.

Callie Graphics is great for decals. They add to the overall cost, but I think its worth it. They can cover a multitude of building errors and allow you to personalize your plane.

My daughter filmed my P47 last week. Just some simple scale “manoeuvres” as I’m not a great pilot, but in fact it’s not a hard plane to fly. This is on 3s 2200mAh with a 3536 1200kv motor. More than enough power, for me at least.

Just tickling this thread with a new P-47D bubbletop from an extra kit that has been sitting on my shelf for 2 years. A glamour shot or two before it gets torn up through my crappy piloting: it's my take on "No Guts, No Glory." Now, Robert Johnson's "Lucky" (2+ years old and still flying great) has a squadron mate.
