Been looking at this P47 for a while. Great video presentation of its flight characteristics. Ordered using your link. Keep up the great flight reviews!
Very nice video!! You guys always do a great job with your videos !Absolutely love this FMS airplane! I think it is one of their all around best airplanes they make as far as Is durability and flying characteristics!
Great review. Love this bird in my eflite 1.2m version. I would add a thin layer of water based clear coat for durability. I also would swap to a 2 blade prop for better performance. A aeronaut cam power prop or something compareable. Mine is a blast to fly. Flies like it looks - like a tank !
One of my favorite looking Warplanes. I'm probably going to get one soon for when I get better at flying. Even if I don't get better I'll still have something cool to display in the house.
BEAUTIFUL model!. I wish there were some other p-47s like it out there that were closer to 1.2m. Love the livery and detail on it. The striped tail really makes this model stand out. I wish E-flite would bring the 1.2m Thunderbolt. Mine's kinda beat up. Love the "Jug"!
That is a great warbird. It is the P-47 to have if you want a foam one. Very detailed. Man your wife did a great job! 😄 Nice touch n goes bro, especially in the wind. GREAT landing. Man wheels are the weak point on almost every warbird. Thanks for the shout out man. Enjoyed the vid very much!
Anytime we see that battery system, we've gotta tell people how to fix it, and you're the man who came up with the technique. It is a shame that these models come with plastic wheels - here's hoping we'll start seeing more models with rubber wheels like the Super Cub going forward.
It's sad that were at a point where 429 is cheap for what u get....and foam never stays pretty if you use it alot. Horizon and fms driving the prices waaaaay up I wish they would put more balsa planes up...Def cheaper lol
This comes with metal geared servos, gapless hinges, a beautiful paint job, high quality gear, and a perfect fit and finish. It should be more expensive if anything, it's rather cheap for what you're getting.
@@TwoBrosRC they're very nice yes but the cost of planes .....especially foam has skyrocketed compared to a couple yrs ago....and even e flughtused to have balsa....balsa flies better for sure
And yes I do know there's a hangar 9 p47 as well and it fies 6s beautifully....but balsa a few and far between....also check out the red and silver p51 mustang from fms it has a retractable tail wheel as well
I actually think it's not bad, especially when compared to E-Flite pricing (though E-Flite is a great product). Everything has gone up in price. FMS frequently has coupon codes, one of which just allowed me to pick this up for $374. I once put together a Hangar 9 F4U of about the same size (glow engine, retracts, etc), and by the time all was said in done I was in the $800-1000 price range (and this was 12 years ago). So, I don't think $429 for something that is receiver ready is that bad.
This is an absolute beauty!! I didn't care much for the 1.5 elfite mustang but this one has my interest! And btw your wife did a phenomenal job on the camera! Prob the best camera work done thus far if I'm being honest! Great flying as always sir 👏👏
Ha, that's funny. I got the eflight mustang as well, I also didn't care for it...dang thing is next to impossible to land. So I jumped into the 90mm viper. I don't think I have ever owned a plane that lands as easy as the Viper...fun. Now I am ordering this P-47. Hope you like yours!
Great flying and filming. It’s time to replace my 1.5m Eflite Mustang. I think this will be the one. Only feature I wish it had were the wings that come apart for transportation. I have also switched to SMC batteries, much credit to you. They are really next gen.
The wings do come apart! They're two-piece wings, so each wing plugs into the fuselage - they just don't split in half like the P-51's do. Happy to hear you're enjoying SMC packs! We promote them because they're solid batteries. Just wish that everyone in the world could get some.
Sir, thank you again for a very well done introduction video. I believe it was you (I could be wrong) who mentioned the size of the main wheels. I can't find this info anywhere, and my plane has not yet arrived. First thing I will do is to replace the main wheels for Dubro or something along those lines. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks. Dale
Quite surprised that FMS chose to fit such rubbish tires considering how good the rest of the plane is. I fitted a set of 3.75inch Robarts and they work fantastic! I also fitted Draco's motor, ESC and a 18 inch prop (18x11) and she flys super scale! Not as fast but I absolutely love how it flys in this setup. Also gives you reverse thrust for those shorter runways. In fact I love this plane so much I have two full unbuilt spares!
Ya great looking P-47 or "Jug" as they called them. Hey Jon, you said you never flew a retract tailwheel? Never flew the Eflite 1.5 Mustang? its an awesome warbird.
Just picked up this plane today Did you have issues with the battery straps mine were way to short, like to short for an 3s lipo do you think the sent the plane with the wrong straps
I'm sorry I'm going to have to disagree on this the reason why I fly a P51 mustang red tailed not RC lol 1942 it's been restored for the Tuskegee airmen I work for a war bird museum the P51 has way better turn radius and dive elements you can see more out of the cab no blind spots with the P47 I have flown twice the bank elements on it are good but not as good as the P51 the P51 I can bank sharper to the right and to the left and and gain altitude lot quicker than the P47 everyone has their own opinion and that's alright I say until you can actually sit in a cockpit like do then speak out
Fantastic flying Jon, I've had my eye on this one for a while. Props to your wife too, she did an excellent job filming!
SMC’s are a game-changer! Love’m. FMS did a great job with the P-47. Good flying.

Thanks for the quick setup guide at the end using the 637T. That's definitely helpful to a lot of people who are just scared of Forward Programming.
Great review. Love this bird in my eflite 1.2m version. I would add a thin layer of water based clear coat for durability. I also would swap to a 2 blade prop for better performance. A aeronaut cam power prop or something compareable. Mine is a blast to fly. Flies like it looks - like a tank !
I put Robart 3.5” wheel on mine using the stock hub and they work great!!
Nice idea, thanks!
Just got mine over the weekend. Looking forward to getting her in the air. Great video by the way.
It’s clearly my favorite warbird of all I have flown and that’s my oldest model still in my hangar 😅❤
One of my favorite looking Warplanes.
I'm probably going to get one soon for when I get better at flying. Even if I don't get better I'll still have something cool to display in the house.
Great Flying Jon really nice touch and goes! Also nice camera work very well done.
Thanks a lot!
Another great aircraft video revue. Thanks guys

Great video One Brother and Wife!! ;-). It's a nice P-47, FMS produces great aircraft.
AH....
Man I love the 1.2 eflite version and fly it like no ones business, but if I had this one right here🤩
Nice looking P47 from FMS, Be nice to see them return the 1700mm thunderbolt

Great video!
Cozy Coupe; and what a great review! Thanks!
Little Tikes must have sold about 50 million of those little Cozy Coupes. A fixture in almost every family back yard when my kids were little.

Awesome! I Gotta Get Me One👍
Those trees got my name all over them. Loosing my depth perception as i get older. nice bird tho. i got the 1700mm P51 red tail. awesome plane
I have a balsa of this plane, one of my prized balsa. Flies like a ballerina in the sky

No idea what the wheel size would be, but you can measure them yourself and order a replacement set.
Assume the flap elevator mix is -6% and -12 nice vdeo nice plane do have the itch to get one
You can see the elevator compensation on the monitor when the flaps are dropped - just match that value and you're good to go.

Not surprised in the least considering most FMS wheels are hard plastic. That's generally how stock wheels are.
Two brothers and one wife radio control🤩😜🤪😁
Ya great looking P-47 or "Jug" as they called them. Hey Jon, you said you never flew a retract tailwheel? Never flew the Eflite 1.5 Mustang? its an awesome warbird.
We've never flown the 1.5m Mustang, so the retractable tail wheel is totally new for us. It's awesome!
FMS P-40 1400mm has a retractable tail wheel as well
What are your thoughts on all out speed on this plane as compared to the 1.5 eflite fw190 or p51?
We haven't flown either of them and speed is usually not something we're concerned with.
Bro she just floats like a feather coming in, you cant mess up the landing only if you try to.
Hi John, have you flown the P-51D Mustang 1.5m? If so, how would you compare it to this?
We haven't yet.
@@TwoBrosRC hope you may consider it in the future ! May I ask if the Avanti S V 2 is coming to your channel ? All the best from Scotland 🏴
Just picked up this plane today
Did you have issues with the battery straps mine were way to short, like to short for an 3s lipo do you think the sent the plane with the wrong straps
Can't recall offhand - just depends on the size of the pack, really.
@@TwoBrosRC I even tried a spectrum 4000 6s which is my smallest 6s and it was too small
Hello could you maybe review the free wing eurofighter?
We've already got it coming in this week.
What size 6s battery are you running on this flight
It should be covered in the video.
Windy day for tail dragging warbird…grass take off. It really helps.
It would likely get torn up by the kind of grass at the airport we fly from.
Makes sense. I’m only an of pilot and needs smooth grass for my 1/4 WWI planes. Otherwise they are everywhere on takeoff😅
We're did you buy that at?
We didn't buy it, it was sent to us to review. Link to buy is in the description.
Yep, this would totally sell if it was 1.2
It sells at 1.5 though.
Fms you can do better just to many black stripes on the wings and sides take up all the silver on the plane
???
