The P-47 Thunderbolt from Phoenix is a true-to-original warbird with a 2.01m wingspan. The model is constructed in an extremely light and high-strength wooden construction and is designed for electric or combustion engines.
The original
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was the largest, heaviest and most expensive fighter aircraft in history powered by a single piston engine. It was heavily armed with eight .50 caliber machine guns (four per wing). Fully loaded, the P-47 weighed up to eight tons and, in its role as a fighter-bomber and ground attacker, could carry five-inch rockets or a considerable bomb load of 2,500 pounds - that's more than half the weight that the B-17 bomber could carry on long-distance flights.
The model - absolutely true to the original
This model from Phoenix is in no way inferior to its original. Many beautiful detailed solutions make the P-47 look like the original when viewed on the ground. A rear-view mirror, antennas and 8 weapons complete the "scale" picture. And in the air, the model also gives an absolutely "scale" flight image, which is almost indistinguishable from the flight image of the manned model. The cockpit, pilot and instruments in the cabin are also realistically reproduced.
Wooden construction with an extremely high degree of prefabrication
The model is made of extremely light and high-strength balsa/plywood. The laser-cut construction impresses with an extremely high degree of prefabrication, which means that the construction effort is reduced almost to the installation of the drive and electronics. There is plenty of space under the large removable canopy for installing the electronics. The P-47 is completely covered with foil.
Electric retractable landing gear included
The model comes with an electrically retractable main landing gear and an electrically retractable nose gear. The landing gear legs are made entirely of CNC-milled metal.
Electric or combustion engine
This model can do both! The design is prepared for both electric and combustion engine propulsion. The only question is: great sound or absolute efficiency?
