Here are some shots of the BH 60cc P-47. Two pieces wings are great for warbird of this size. As usually there are some blemishes such as paint scheme or flap angle indicator on flaps. But the weathering on self adhesive covering is nice. I was suprised, that she is not covered by oracover or solarfilm but by some self adhesive coat. I am going to replace the cockpit and some other parts such as dummy radial engine and wing pylons.
Was told a couple of days ago I may not even see it this year. Apprently there issues with the factory getting building supplies such as balsa wood, plus the usuall COVID problems with staff. Not sure if I am going to wait till next year or buy the new Phoenix Models P-51. Doesnt look as good as the P47 but it does come with electric retracts and a couple of other unique features. Or I could buy from somewhere overseas that has one and risk frieght damage.

Great video!
Never heard of bad flying P47. All the ones I have flown from the TopFlite 50cc to Eflite electrics all fly great. I decided to wait till stock arrives which could be late this year or early next year

No P47 for me :(
No stocks of BH P47s until possibly August this year (maybe) BH are not answering emails from even distributors here in Australia. So, I decided on the Phoenix F4U Corsair 60cc which I’m convinced it’s out the same factory as Black Horse, which makes sense as brothers own it according to my LHS.
Anyway the Corsair looks amazing and I’m sure it will fly very well. I’ll buy a BH P47 maybe when they are back in stock.
Good luck to all the builders out there!

I am back on my BH P-47. Paint scheme and scale details are pain of allmost all ARF kits. Actual cockpit is not bad, but it does not look good to me. I wanted to do some new CAD designs, but at first I tried to fit our P-47 cockpit side panels. It seems, that the cockpit I designed for GS TopFlite will work also with the BH P-47. I will have to trim the side panels or do new cockpit box.

Well looks like I'm back on the P47 bandwagon again!
My P47 I ordered back in April last year arrived without notice. What this means is I am selling my Corsair airframe and fitting out the P47 with the that gear (which was meant for the P47 anyway) Shame I have to sell the Corsair but personally I think P47s fly better the Corsairs (as far as models go)

The instrument panel CAD design is almost done. Some details are missing. Probably I will not cut the dorsal fin on fuselage, so the instrument panel is inspired by D-30. That will be only semi-scale instrument panel, because I had to modified the shape and change some dimensions to fit it cockpit room.
