@7jsm7 Battery all the way to the nose, it was still tail heavy. Not too bad, flyable, but still tail heavy. I added 2 AA batteries to the front for weight. One on each side of the motor, just cut some foam and press fit them in there. Flew like a charm. I highly recommend this plane, it is very stable. I haven't been able to stall it yet. I tried believe me I really tried. It wouldn't tip or anything, just looks like it's coming in for a landing do give it power to land though, it'll be softer.
Just a heads up. I had my first flight on this plane today. Stock setup except I'm using a 3300mah 4s battery. It is WAY TO TAIL HEAVY on the stock CG. Please if you get this plane, don't listen to Tony. The CG should be at 80-85mm not 90-95mm like the manual says. I was very lucky to get it down in one piece. Minor damage to the right wing, and that's it. But I'm putting the battery all the way to the nose next flight for sure.
Superb video review! It's great to see a young kid do such a professional job. You know your shit, and I appreciate that. Looking forward to all your vids. Man, I gotta get some sleep!
Hey Tony, enjoyed your reviews n got myself the 1400mm P47. Where I fly there is no landing area, just a wide open field. So I hand tossed my planes and belly land each time (yea I know its a bloody waste of the retracts). For the P47 would u recommend I change the 3 bladed prop to a 2 bladed one for belly landings in order to not break the prop? If should I go to a 12 x 8 as recommended by some pilots at my field? Thanks in advance.
On the airfield planes they are top flyers, The planes fly very well but airfield is not setting the angle of the motor to get the best flight performance. Folks are getting the CG wright but the tail has a lag and floaty feel, so they add weight to the nose, this is not a weight issue. Put 3 { #4s flat washers item #491431 } found at lowes hardware store, on the top right corner behind the motor mount "front view" this lowers the motor down and to the left "pilot view" aerobatics are gr8
The only thing I hate about these guys' website is theres TOO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM!!! I CAN'T FREAKING DECIDE WHICH ONE TO GET!!!

@nitroplanes I expect this would be hard to fly due to the short but wide wings, but how bad is it? Would it make an ok second plane?
Thanks!
