ParkZone P-47 Thunderbolt Maiden Flight In High Winds

Maiden flight of the ParkZone P-47 Thunderbolt in high winds. We'll get better videos when there is better weather. We couldn't wait to get this fabulous airplane in the sky. Flies pretty well. CG was off a tad towards the tail. The retracts worked great. We flew this really slow to check docile characteristics, trim the plane, and not to mention the wind was horrible. More to come soon...

@rcplanecrazy1 If you can successfully fly a micro-airplane (parkzone?) that has ailerons, rudder, and elevator controls, than I would say that you are able to fly this warbird. I would highly recommend a Parkzone T-28D airplane before this P-47 airplane. The T-28D is more stable and easier to fly and capable of all that this p-47 will offer. I strongly urge you to try the Parkzone T-28D before you purchase the Parkzone P-47. Practice on a simulator if possble. Good Luck and post videos.

@rcplanecrazy1 This is at a school parking lot in Canon City, Colorado. Maiden flight and high winds make for a nerve racking flight. We'll have some better footage soon. I promise!!! Please subscribe to see what's coming soon.

Hi Schiminski- We still haven't been able to get a good quality flight due to high winds and time constraints. I will definitely take you up on the prop selection and give it a try. Sounds great. Videos to come.Thanks for the comments

Flew with a pal flying one of these- try doing a hard right aileron hard left rudder flat spin- it's great! He was doing it for a few minutes on his maiden- I gotta get these things in stock!

BEAUTIFUL landing in the wind! Float that baby right in! Also some gorgeous country out there, wherever "out there" is. You might want to give our "killerplanes challenge" videos a try, especially the "fly around a cloud" challenge. Winner gets an AARF Hawkfighter! Our challenge video will be up this week!
