Just add a receiver and battery and you’re done (flying skills not included!). This includes not only the components, but all of the electronics, servos, motor, ESC, and even the electric retracts are preinstalled. One of the first things I noticed out of the box is how complete the kit is. With nearly all of the building work done for you, you can enjoy a balsa model with low investment in time and modern-day prefabrication. Hangar 9 revisits these sport models of old (for likely the same reasons previously stated) with the all-wood, traditionally built, electric Fun Scale P-47 Thunderbolt PNP. These kits, made by mostly now-defunct manufacturers, allowed a modeler to quickly build an identifiable warbird that cheated a bit on proportions and profile but was guaranteed to fly well and be easy to build. It was meant for people who wanted to fly a Scale model but didn’t have the time or skills to muck about with compound curves and/or the tedious planking of balsa wood strips. Manufacturer/DistributorįUN SCALE! Back in the good old days of kit building, this was a common term. Incorrect, preapplied wing insignia locations.
