P-47 Thunderbolt Wicked Wabbit ARF
,
Tough EPO construction - impeccable flight performance The P-47 was the heaviest US single-engine fighter of WWII and was built in greater quantities than any other. More than half a million combat sorties were flown in P-47's between the years of 1943 and the end of the war in 1945. One of the first true multi-role fighters, the Jug was a fighter, bomber, dive-bomber and ground attack aircraft. The P-47 was also the first piston-powered fighter to exceed 500 mph.
This stunning R/C model has a 41 in. wingspan, is 35 in. long, with 258 sq. in. wing area, and weighs 27 oz. ready to fly. Nearly everything is included in the box. Just add your radio system (5 channel min.), lipo battery charger, and a small amount of 5-minute epoxy for gluing the tail feathers in place and you are ready to go. It comes pre-painted in molded EPO foam with the decals pre-applied and coated with a clear polyurethane spray for durability. The powerful outrunner brushless motor (800Kv) has plenty of power to swing the scale 11 in. 4-bladed propeller. Also included are a 30-amp speed controller, and a 3-cell 1650mAh Lipo flight battery.
The sturdy mechanical retracts are pre-installed in the wings and connected to the retract servo. The gear legs have scale gear doors attached and the tail wheel is steerable with rudder input. A complete set of illustrated instructions is supplied to help with assembly and setup as well as general tips on lipo battery care. Charge the flight battery with your 2-3 Cell Lipo battery charger and you are ready to fly.
The scale outline of the P-47 is accurately represented. Combine that with the scale 4-bladed prop and retracts, and you have a great flying package that looks terrific on the ground, taxing out to the runway or flying by with the gear up. The P-47 has solid flying manners with a very slow stall speed and predictable control response. The wide stance of the landing gear makes ground handling very solid and the steerable tail wheel keeps everything going in the proper direction. The big 4-bladed scale prop provides a lot of thrust; smooth application of power is required for a scale take-off and a little power needs to carry into the landing. It's suitable for any pilot with some aileron experience. To add flaps, you need the following items:
1 - ESM04729 Flap Hardware Set
2 - ESM04722 Rudder/Elevator/Aileron Servos
