Maiden Flight Only - E-flite P-47 Thunderbolt with Flaps & Retracts Installed
This video is and the Maiden Flight Only for the new E-flite P-47 Thunderbolt BNF Basic with AS3X Technology. This is pretty much the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt version of the E-flite P-51 Mustang Dallas Doll that so many in the RC community have been excited about since its release last Fall. That one was modeled after one of the most famous WWII Warbirds in history, the North American P-51 Mustang.

Here are my review notes on it so far, stay tuned for the complete unboxing, review, build, and maiden flight video for this plane, which will be uploaded soon:
Cons:
- I had to replace the motor before I could fly it
- The hatch design is a step backward from the Dallas Doll Mustang
- The velcro that secures the battery ripped before the first flight
Pros:
- Beautiful finish
- Very easy build and radio set-up in my Spektrum DX6
- Retracts and flaps installed
- Its wide stance helps make landings easier
Here is what Horizon Hobby has to say about this plane:
The Republic P-47D multi-role fighter is impressive with an outstanding service record. A massive radial engine gave the power to deliver a variety of weapons against air and ground targets. Wide landing gear allowed it to excel regardless of field conditions, while its rugged design proved that pilots could return home even after absorbing heavy fire.
Get the warbird experience you crave with the E-flite P-47D Thunderbolt. This aircraft comes out of the box fully equipped with operational flaps and retracts already installed. Z-Foam™ material not only makes this fighter tough, but also lightweight, even with all the scale detail. The way it flies separates this warbird apart from others in its class.
The advanced AS3X® (Artificial Stabilization – 3-aXis) system built into the Spektrum™ 6-channel AR636A receiver is what helps give the E-flite® P-47D Thunderbolt Bind-N-Fly version an incredibly solid look and feel in the air. It’s technology that works behind the scenes to help counter the effects of wind and turbulence by combining 3-axis sensing with exclusively tuned flight control software. As a result, your workload to fly smoothly is significantly reduced so you can perform every maneuver with greater accuracy. It’s a flight experience you get in the convenience of park spaces, but will have you feeling like you’re at the controls of an expertly tuned fighter that’s much larger.
You can enjoy air superiority in no time at all with this Bind-N-Fly Basic model. Final assembly is minimal and can be complete in about the time it takes to charge your battery. Once bound to your DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter, an outstanding warbird experience is just a park away.
