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).

The P-47 Thunderbolt comes covered in a MonoKote trim scheme that captures the colors of the 353rd Fighter Squadron. Decals shown are included and die-cut for easy application. |

For an outstanding brushless electric power system, outfit the P-47 with a 1200kV outrunner brushless motor, 45A ESC, and 3200mAh LiPo battery.

Accessing the flight battery in an electric set-up is as simple as removing the magnetic hatch – you don't have to remove the wing!

“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!”
