P-47 Thunderbolt

P-47 Thunderbolt
Easy sport-scale "jug" aims to please both glow and electric pilots.

Extremely tough and well-suited for dive-bombing ground targets, the USAAF P-47 "Jug" destroyed over 7,000 enemy aircraft in the European Theater alone. This sport-scale model captures the WWII fighter's menacing looks in a high-quality ARF design – and lets you quickly turn your low-wing skills loose with a fighting legend.

  • Features built-up and covered balsa/ply main assemblies (with factory-hinged control surfaces) and painted fiberglass parts.
  • Includes fixed wire landing gear and mounting components for both glow and electric power options.
  • MonoKote covering and supplied die-cut markings recreate the trim scheme of 353rd Fighter Squadron ace Major Glenn Eagleston.
  • AMA Event 750, Combat Class 2610 legal (when used with recommended glow set-up).

“As this P-47 proves, Great Planes gladly accepts the challenge to raise the quality standards for sport-scale ARFs. Many small touches like a magnetic battery hatch and polycarbonate landing skid add up to a model that assembles easily, flies well, and accommodates either glow or brushless electric power perfectly!”
