There are probably more P-47 models on the market right now than at any other time, so what makes this one worth looking at? I know what you’re likely thinking: Oh, boy, another P-47 ARF. From the maiden flight through dozens of sorties, its wide flight envelope gives it the ability to do everything a warbird should do and more. The author found the Hangar 9 P-47 Thunderbolt 20cc to be an absolute joy to fly. Wing bolt holes in the fuselage did not align properly and required work to elongate.The included drill template to mount the Evolution 20cc engine was not correct, leaving holes that were spaced 0.5 inch too wide.Functional flaps work well and aid in slowing the aircraft for landings.Cowl is attached with hidden bolts for a cleaner, scalelike look.Designed for included fixed gear or optional electric retracts.Many scale extras included (dummy radial engine, an antenna, guns, bombs, etc.) that can be added to suit your taste.
