FMS - P-47 Thunderbolt Bonnie - 1500mm - 3X Maiden Flights 

Those retracts look amazing opening and closing. Beautiful sunset. Well done.

FMS has totally stepped up their game over the past year or so. Incredible plane review. My opinion this is one of your best maiden flight videos. Not that any of the others were not good. You and Megan are just absolutely getting it done. Thank you both. God bless.

This is a fantastic plane and is at present my favourite RC plane! I have made some upgrades to mine with Draco's motor and ESC along with a FMS V3 Corsair 18 inch prop (18x11). Also fitted a set of Robart 3-3/4 straight treaded wheels which are a huge improvement over the awful stock wheels which are like concrete blocks.. It flys rock solid and I can get 12+ minutes of flight time on a 7000 pack! And I don't fly with any gyro/stabilisation.

Maybe you had a slight bird strike seeing your aerial also was affected

You are doing just great with the phone but I found for me personally, a pro camcorder with a decent viewfinder is hard to beat and you soon get used to shooting with both eyes open for better awareness. I have a Canon XA40 but wish I had got the XA50 (or better) as its focus is a bit better but I am sure there are way better choices out there now.

damn thats big.....it's certainly got presence I'll give you that!. Brian any chance at all you do a FMS Hawker Typhoon review and test? its been out 6 years now and would certainly like your take on it....I don;t yet have one, I want one...but......

We are totally spoilt! Too many planes, not enough time or money!

A Bald Eagle's wing span can be up to 7' feet. (from what I remember) So they're big but school age kids should be safe!

Hi Brian, in your experience which is the best first warbird with retracts? Aside from a t 28. Thanks.

Awesome flying Brian and such a beautiful plane. Thanks camera crew always great coverage !

The P-47 Razorback, along with FMS warbirds are awesome, would love to see FMS return the 1700mm P-47 Thunderbolt in the future

Thing howwwwls on a flyby baha

Got this plane for Christmas as a gift from the wife... Absolutely love this plane. As my first Warbird ever... its quite easy to fly in my opinion and looks great in the air...

Brian u plan on staying with NX8 or moving to ix14?

If you don’t know abt the legend of Y29 during ww2. Check it out. Flying that plane, with the backdrop of snow on the ground looks a lot like the scene those brave airmen fought in at that point in the war.

Love the sun set!

Love that model of plane !! It looks awesome Brian , thanks for freezing your butt off for us . I'm still struggling with the landing on the eflight Mustang 1.5m . Now when it comes to my 1.4m FMS Zero , it lands like a dream and does touch and goes do beautifully ! I have not given up on the Mustang though !

Brian I understand what ur saying it think it's great u stay with the NX8 because that's what most of us use and need ur help to setup. U maybe the first guy in history to fill up the NX8 with it's 250 plane limit before u open the NX10 up lol

I only check in here once in while now to avoid blowin more money. This plane is usually out of stock in like 10days, you have to jump on it when you want one. Brain can fly.......i am always blown away.

Hey Brian - love your stuff. Would you go for this or the Eflite P-51D 1.5m? Cheers!

If that was my property and i wanted to make a good accesable approach for landings it drop about 4 or 5 of those tree,s and make a notch between the trees to get lower down for the approach landings

Wow, I really like the FMS P-47 Razorback. Actually, to tell you the truth, I absolutely love any airplane, but the P-47 climbs towards the top. I've been thinking about the prop that broke on landing. Do you think it would've failed if the air temperature had been warmer? To me 8⁰ could've made that plastic awfully brittle. This video brings me personal feelings for two reasons. One is because my grandpa was a welder, and he worked for Republic Aircraft in Evansville, Indiana where the P-47 was produced. The other is because of the CH 47 Chinook that showed up during the filming. I was in the 1st Air Calv, and the chopper that carried us was the Chinook. Anyway this video brought two parts of my past together in a special way . . . Thank you so much! You and "Camera Crew" are awesome, I mean absolutely awesome. Sorry about the long-winded blogging.

hey brian charlie here ijust got a used starmax f15 edf pnp i believe its a 70mm can u give me any info on it ?

That's a plane I would love to fly

Brianphillipsrc try out the xka280

I just wish FMS would update the pilot figure. They've been using the same pilot for at least 10 years.

Yes, that plane looks so good and I bet if it wasn’t so cold, you would not broke the prop

At 31:30 you’re talking about your arm in the prop, can you not stand behind the wing and work?

My Air Tractor does that “roll tendency”. It’s generally after a left hand turn, it then over stabilizes and rolls slightly right. I think that’s exactly what it is though, just the gyro slightly overcompensating. That being said, it NEVER does it to the left 😂 so who the hell knows.

Wait… I thought FMS quit making warbirds …

You should do a review of the XK A170 Boeing 787.

do you have to watch the youtube video of a model you want to buy to learn what connector the battery has to have for a certain model?

Great flight! Beautiful plane. Two things: first, I never noticed before, but you can do some serious ditch fishin' 😱 after a good rain 🌧️. Second, I still didn't see a camera crew when she spun all the way 'round. 🤔. 😂😂 This whole time Megan has been using an S21 Ultra. Wow.

Brian, i have this plane and mine was janky during manouvers ,it turned out to be the one point wing connections.the wings flex causing connection issue . another pilot with the plane told me to remove the screws in the power blocks so they move when the wings flex . it worked perfectly and now is trouble free . great plane.

I really like this one, I may pick one up with my tax return .

I've flown in minus temps a few times with -11F being the coldest. I'll only do it if the wind is non-existent or nearly so. Like you, I can fly right outside my house so it is only about 8 to 10 minutes out in the cold and then back into the warmth of the house.

What is P factor?

Is that another Chinese balloon in the background ?

Great video again my friend! Thoughts on the speed? Compared to the eflite 1.5 birds?

first time I have heard you say livery properly must be old age

Thought I saw one of those pesky spy balloons but it was indeed the moon 😆

Hey Brian just so you know the bomb's clip off of the brackets that are glued on the bottom of the wing.. I just got this airplane on Monday and I think it is one of the best all around FMS airplanes out there , I would put it right next to the FMS P40 1400 mm Those 2 airplanes to me are the best FMS airplanes hands down!

That big prop may be blanking the rudder on landing? Nice flying as usual!

What do you use toeasire the center of gravity distance?

Absolutely beutiful War Bird. The retracts look awesome. Love the fact the rear wheel retracts also. Nice flying Brian 👍🏻

Amazing looking P-47! You got it down really nice! I wish the 1.2m warbirds would be as detailed.

This is one of my favorite places. I have had mine for a little over a year. Wish it had just a little bigger motor 😂. A grate flyer.

i cant find much info on specs battery or d/r

Beautiful plane, you just can't beat the bigger scaled planes they have so much presence in the sky.

Hi Brian and Mrs Camera Crew, looks like this is a great plane ! I have several Jugs myself. Winter flights are filled with lots of variables including wind sheer and cold temperatures. You are one good pilot daring to take off and land with snow burns on the side of your runway. lol Great video!!!!!! Thanks for the nice presentation passes!

Great warbird! Great video. Thanks

Wow this plane looks so good!! This might be a silly question; but how does the reflex work with a Spektrum Tx? I’ve only used AS3X. Great video!

Can you do a second thoughts on the FMS P 40B 1400mm?

Question which one would you prefer this model or the hanger 9 fun scale p47 I can’t decide?

Is reflex needed? For PNP

You guy's are awesome ! Thanks

Lovely video or a brilliant model. I maidened one last week, one of FMS's best kept secrets, lovely bird.

I could hear mental anguish during that landing. Like a stressful landing but still Naled it. Nice cinematography looks great on the new Sony 👌

Those holes are so close together yet the reactions are waaaay different!

Ripping the RC Habit as usual. Beauty BP & Co.

That's amazing

FMS does not ship to Greece!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quick tip on battery tray loaders like this one Brian. The battery straps are what catches causing you to force the tray in. Take your exaco knife and widen the slits inwards towards the center so that the battery straps can ride further inward which allows them to clear the latches and side rails and your battery and tray will slide in much smoother/easier. (Hope I explained that well enough).

GRASS OPPS? THANKS

Amazing looking plane! 🎉

Great maiden! Your teamwork with camera crew is flawless. Great flight in totally adverse conditions

I've been holding out buying this plane for 9 months and now I finally get to see ur review and opinion on it. Think this is the safer choice over the FMS corsair 1.7m as its easier to store and transport. Thanks Brian

amazing

Good work rc buddy nice maiden. 👍

Great flying plane. Good job.

This plane is gorgeous and the scale features are perfect. FMS doesn’t get as much recognition for their planes as they should get . But with that said the new stabilization really makes it a must have plane .

This is one of the Easiest planes to fly.

Brian: FYI, the same issue happened with "I Just Got Here" Grandpa Gary. The battery tray slipped backwards and popped up the canopy. Unfortunately, the battery weight change caused his plane to crash I believe. I bought this plane a month ago and I made a removeable bracket that holds keeps the battery tray from moving once it is in place.

I placed a pin in my canopy, I have had this happen on several different 1400 and 1500 mm planes with canopy popin off in flight. I take an oral syringe to make a canopy lock. That looks and performs perfect, no more lost canopy s.

Love the videos you produce! Very informative content while maintaining a level of entertainment, thanks!

muy bonito avión👏👏

She's a keeper!

I was just looking at this model, so your timing is great. Thanks for the through review Philip, I do rely on your model reviews before deciding to purchase my models as you continued tips and discussions on the planes answer many questions we have before purchasing. Keep up the great work.

Hi Brian, you guys are awesome. I recon I could slope a plane like this, I live where it's Windy. What do think, with good lift would these warbirds slope well?

As always, wonderful video of this beautiful warbird. Looks like its flying a little "timberish" for my liking. My 1.2m T-28 is about as heavy flying as I feel comfortable with.

great video
