Overview
Presenting Pilot-RC’s first composite scale warbird! It could be no other than the fantastic P47, specifically, the P47D variant.
With its instantly recognisable lines and large wing for friendly handling it is ideal both as crown jewel and everyday hack.
Designed around popular engine sizes, we have tested our P47D both with the straight forward single cylinder DA85, and also with the more scale like three cylinder Saito 90R3 with outstanding results.
Needing a very short takeoff roll, and no wing waggle, this model will inspire confidence from day one.
Features
Full scale detail with rivets, panel lines, simulated hatches, etc…
Full composite construction, lightweight and strong
Two piece wing and two piece stabilizer, all for easy transport
Painted outside the mold so no seam lines
Fully hidden linkages except rudder horn. No other horns, servo arms, ball links or pushrods are exposed
Battery support included, allows for the mounting of batteries to the inside of the firewall to easily help achieve the correct center of gravity
Patented quick assembly system for wings
The cowl can fit Satio 90R3 (or other similar 250mm diameter radial engines)
50-85cc single cylinder two stroke engine is also easy to install
Removable engine box can fit different engine
Ample room to easily install canisters if desired
Elevator and rudder servos mounted mid-fuselage to avoid the need for nose weight
A single rudder servo controls both rudder and tail wheel, both by pull pull system
Tail gear door operates (open/close) without need of a dedicated servo
Single servo controls both elevator half
