The Republic P-47
Thunderbolt was the largest, heaviest, and most expensive fighter aircraft in
history to be powered by a single piston engine. It was heavily armed with
eight .50-caliber machine guns, four per wing. When fully loaded, the P-47
weighed up to eight tons, and in the fighter-bomber ground-attack roles could
carry five-inch rockets or a significant bomb load of 2,500 pounds; over half
the weight the B-17 bomber could carry
on long-range mission.
Phoenix Model’s P-47
Thunderbolt ARF is a remarkably accurate rendition of America’s favorite
fighter airplane. This 33cc-sized almost-ready-to-fly airplane was designed and
crafted to be the most realistic sport-scale ARF on the market. 3-D computer
engineering produces parts that fit with absolute precision for straight,
strong assembly. Slotted flaps provide function as well as scale appearance,
concealing the control horns internally to maintain scale lines. Phoenix Model
has thought of just about everything to make set up convenient, including a
removable, and large top hatch for battery packs or radio equipment.
