Is there a shift in the COG with retracts installed? I have the same plane and it flies great. I have the mustang and corsair, but they don't match up to the thunderbolt. This baby packs a lot of heat when it lands. Flaps really help with the landings.
One of the best flying airplanes I have ever owned. Its got enough power on the stock setup to get out from under itself, its extremely acrobatic, very stable, and with its light wing loading It stalls nose first every time. I can get mine to do some very nice looking Torque rolls, Snaps rolls are fun, and lumshevaks with this plane will have everyone at the field looking at the plane. This product gets 10/10 with the retracts and flaps.
Nice review, I love this plane such a good flyer. I have three different planes and I love this one so much that I ripped apart my F15 for it's servos so I can install them for the wing flaps. When my local hobby shop gets more long lead servos in I might rebuild my nitroplane f15 but I'm in no hurry yet, having too much fun with my P47!
What kind of flight times do you get? Also, I keep hearing people bitch about takeoffs and landings... Is it really that hard? I fly at a very short grass and dirt soccer field, and I plan on installing flaps before my first flight. Is there a different plane I should be looking at? I already have the Wildcat, but want something comparable with landing gear. Please advise!!!
@joehandsome99 Well since I wrote that, I bought it and flown it a few times. It flies great, but much heavier than my wee F4F. Since I most often fly at a soccer field with many light posts/goal posts, this is not the ideal plane for that scenario as I find you need to make a long approach to bring it in smoothly. At my soccer fields, I have to drop it quickly and try to smooth out and land or abort and try again. I've had a few less than gracefull landings but the worst just flipped it
@joehandsome99 yep, I have them installed. One could attribute it to my newbie skills though I guess. I flew my champ twice before I got a micro t28, which I flew about 5 times before getting the larger wildcat. I've kinda fast-tracked my way into intermediate (funny how video game skills pay off a little) piloting, as I am a decent scale flyer... can do loops, rolls, touch n gos etc. This is my biggest fastest plane so it's probably just nerves! :-)
Have you added the flaps & retracts to it and if so are you only using the stock esc or did you add BEC. PKZ says the esc is very capable but it only outputs .7A not enough for 4 servo + 2 flaps and 2 retracts.
Great review, Eric. I just got mine and it's also my first taildragger. T/o and landings have been a challenge, but you addressed a point I've been particularly having troubles with...the takeoffs. THANKS! I can't wait to get out and try your suggestion. I've been trying to eeeease it into the air...not always with great results. Keep em coming!
@6Sally5 Getting the tail off the ground on take off is what you are wanting to do with this plane. Once the prop is perpendicular to the ground its a breeze. Thanks for watching.
your wife makes a great director "you want to do it again and stand on the side like you are now and not in the middle of the road." great review Eric
Essentially, since the prop turns to the right as seen from the cockpit, when pitching forward is like pushing the top of the prop down and felt 90 to the right on the prop, so like pushing the prop to the left making the nose go left.
That is normal and it causes to input a significant amount of right rudder.
Slipstream and torque are a factor too but not as significant as the gyroscopic precession.
We need to fly again together so I can show you. Its fun to test the theory.
6:42 I remember when you did that to me and you somehow managed to hit the power switch of your plane.
LOL! Tail draggers, the real one (RC too), have a big problem with that left turning tendency on takeoff. It is called gyroscopic precession which is basically when you start making that forward input to get the tail of the ground, the force is felt 90 degrees in the direction of the prop travel.
As always, GREAT review and nice flying! Tough decisions..... ParkZone Radian Pro? ParkZone P47D? UMX Extra 300 3D?!? All different types of flying aircraft but they all sure do look NICE!! Thanks again Eric for the review and nice video!! Looking forward the next review!
Would you do a vid on just the retracts I would like to use them on some scratchbuilt projects if they are any good. Hard to spend $85 to just get a look at something. The nearest hobby store is 2.5 hrs away.
@coolwaterhubby It is very easy on the P47. Eflite made it where you just drop it in and use the same screws to attach them that comes with the plane.
Oh very nice Eric and if you would like a touch more speed the PZ extra prop sure does the business i've read on the forums ;-) also the HobbyKing retracts are the same as e-fite ones but a lot cheaper ;-) so once our great British weather get a bit better i'll be able to give mine a maiden flight too ;-) thumbs up as always mate.
@startazz On reading your comment I tried the PZ extra prop yesterday and it did give a little more power. I will have to look at the HK retracts for future purchases. I'm looking forward to watching your maiden flight. Thanks for watching and the comment Ian.
It would be great to add the prices of the planes on your reviews. I know I could look, but its cool to know in a pinch when I am freshly drooling over one of these planes! Great channel by the way, I just recently started watching.
@vetitoe362 Prices change as the plane gets older. I may speak of it sometimes, but normally dont add that to the video. I do add the web links to where you can purchase the plane in the video notes though. Thanks for watching.
hey that was not paint swaping it was a roll whislt playing tag. haha . Im looking at getting into planes now what would you recommend i should get first??
How do you get all these Park Zone planes? Do you have a deal with them or work for them? I'm lucky if I can afford 2 planes a year. LOL. I have a question about the DX7...How do you like it? And does it have a throttle cut off for fuel planes? I have the JR 6102 72mhz (big brother to the DX7) and would like to get the DX7 because it's the same as my JR just 2.4. The menu is exact, and it'll work with all my JR stuff. Well it's a cheaper JR radio is what it is.
@UtRadioGuy I purchase my eflite and parkzone planes. It would be nice to get a discount for all the reviews I do. You will like the dx7. It's very versatile. I think my next purchase will be the dx8.
@magicmike1122 It's nice that they throw a charger in, but then it's like a tease to me also. Ok, we are giving you a charger with your plane, no go sit in your car and charge your battery for an hour.
Torqueing to the left is absolutely normal for any taildragger. Its called P-Factor. All pilots use right rudder (using it derogitory, not stated at you, Eric :) The circle of the prop wash circles around the airplane and then hits the right side of the rudder (from front view). I fly full scale, and when im in the cub, taking off I have to use almost half rudder on the pedals to keep it going straight. Great review, and I love those retracts! Hope the info on P-Factor helps.
This plane is awesome no doubt but like Eric says 85 bucks for retracts is just a bit too stiff. I mean I realize that they are basically drop ins and your are paying for the convenience but when that convenience is almost half the price of the plane (PNP) I will look for other means of adding retracts.
@ussgrisham I will say that e-flite made it very easy to install them. The molded plastic frame in the wing was made for the retract and it just dropped right in.
Wow what a neat set-up - neat and tidy out of the box. Certainly is a great flying unit and so easy to put together. Brilliant how the wheels detract and allows for some superb in-flight tricks!
@chiosex I do to! Lee and I were talking yesterday about how we are just going to hit each other straight on one day. Just hope it isnt today! Thanks for watching.
@mhall914 It will have that turn to the left being a tail dragger, I just wasnt ready for it the first time I took off. lol.. Thanks for watching and the comment.
2 foot take-off...lol I KNEW YOU WERE GONING TO DO THIS REVIEW!!!!! and i knew you would put the retracts and flpas on...( 99% ) of everyone who gets thisplane probably will great vid!!!!!!
Eric, Thanks for the great review of the Parkzone P47D. I liked the way you referenced the real P47D and the men who knew it well. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely, I just got a couple different planes or this one would be in my basement lol, its surely going on my wishlist though :) Nice work Joe Keep em comin/ Happy Flying!!!

Eric, Thanks for the great review of the Parkzone P47D. I liked the way you referenced the real P47D and the men who knew it well. Keep up the good work.
