This latest build is deceptive. It's smaller than it appears, only a 20" wingspan. However...... the powersystem is designed for a plane that is roughly 3 thimes the size and weight. Performance is....... shall we say, amazing? It's full house, meaning ailerons, rudder and elevator. Alot of stuff in a small package.

Looks like a P-47, one of my favorite warbirds!
Here's mine:
It's going to have an 85" wingspan when its done.
I believe Ken's dad was a Thunderbolt pilot in WW2 if I remember correctly.

Ken, this one is not exactly scale. The real Thunderbolt was just a little fatter in the fuse area, but not by much. This one is a micro, a 20" wingspan with a power system made for a plane that is 3 times heavier. So performance is scale and then some. Pull the stick back and it will have unlimited (well.... until it runs out of range, sight or atmosphere).
Dad was a pilot, eh? It must have been an adventure.
