Here's my review of the Hangar 9 Fun Scale P-47 Thunderbolt PNP (balsa). What a sweet flying little model! The construction is a throwback to the simplified shapes I remember seeing back in the day, but comes with all of the electronics pre-installed making assembly quite quick. The model can be flown on 4s with the stock 14x12 wood prop or on 6s with an APC 12x8 and they both fly surprisingly similar having good speed and vertical performance with both. I was really quite surprised by how locked in the model flew, it's really sweet! #FunScale #P47Thunderbolt #RCPlanes

Sign me up for more balsa PNPs! Really hope we see more from H9 in this category!

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Agreed! I see balsa pnp becoming more prevalent in the future for sure.

@putzytart 2 года назад

@@Thercgeek I really hope so - I have two balsa models now after moving from a bunch of Eflite and Hobbyking foamies. Once you go balsa it's hard to go back to foam but the building time is really annoying with balsa. This could be a new sweet spot for people who love balsa but have time constraints.

@garyrice4610 Год назад

Mine is coming this week. I plan to make flaperons with mine. I do this all the time with my 3d planes. No need to cut into the wing and add weight just but both ailerons on two channels and make a flaperon set up. Love the review.

@jacksemporiumofstuff 8 дней назад

I know this is a couple years old, but this reminds me of an old school ARF kit with all the electrics already installed. I love the way balsa flys. I may have to get one.

@Thercgeek 8 дней назад

It totally is like the old school birds. That’s why I like it. Good flyer too

@MOUNTAINMANRC-MOTO 8 месяцев назад

Dear Mr. Geek, thank you for a really good review. Thank you for not talking over the sound of the plane in flight, which is incredible with the stock prop on 4S. Most reviewers just talk and talk and then talk some more, and they don't say a whole lot. It was refreshing to find a reviewer who talks an appropriate amount and in the right places. What is it about balsa? That thing flies like it's on rails and rock solid. Foam just don't fly like that. Subscribed, taking notes and looking forward to binging your videos. Look for a review from me on a plane that I built myself. ;-)

@Thercgeek 8 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! I think the rigidity of wood is what helps them to lock in better in flight.

@easystar123 2 года назад

I've been eyeing this plane up eversince I first heard about it. You flew it fantastically well and it looks like a very nice solid performer.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Thanks! It really is a fun ride and Flies extremely well.

@Airsally Год назад

A good friend of mine just got one of these. He cut the ailerons to make flaps works great. He did have his motor mount box break off. Seems it was only CA'd on . He expoied it now and it's fine now.

@rcplanestands4906 Год назад

Great job RC Geek, very helpful. I'm going to have to go get one of these for my quickie flights.

Ah yes, I remember that well. I don’t miss that. I do miss the smell though. I love the smell of burned glow fuel, haha

@rodgerhecht3623 2 года назад

Another great vid. I do like the "fun scale " approach. Currently building an old gp slab sided corsair. And back in the day built a jenco fun scale P-51 with inverted engine and retracts, and a few other tweaks. Hope H9 does a few more of these.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

Very cool! My friend has one of the corsairs he built with a 4 stroke in it and retracts. Flies great!

@Lithonion1 Год назад

Mine just came in, it has a ton of weights already installed on the motor mount. Also my motor mount is separated from the firewall. No glue on it at all and this is my second plane from Hanger 9 where the firewall had no glue. My 15cc Carbon Cub motor pulled out and no signs of glue on it anywhere. So if anyone buys any Hanger 9 planes, re glue to the motor mounts or at least thoroughly check them. I do it on foamies, never thought I would have to do it on a Hanger 9 plane.

@Zulu.Foxtrot.82 Год назад

I just cut the aileron and made flaps, haven't flown it yet but after too many slippery landings I decided to go for it.

@Thercgeek Год назад

That’s the way to go with it and was my intention intention to do so, but never got around to it.

@user-gp4xd7xc5t 8 месяцев назад

I'm assembling it and preparing for the first flight. Does the throttle come down when landing?

@longyang-funvideo 2 года назад

Nice flight! The landing distance is a little bit longer than I am used to though

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

That's partly due to the lack of flaps. I'm planning to put flaps into it when I can find the time to do so.

@mtb4maine 2 года назад

Thanks for the review, do you think it would be difficult to cut the ailerons and make flaps? It seems weird to spend $500 on a scale (semi scale) warbird without flaps.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

That was the thought I had for adding them. I don’t think it would be too difficult to do.

@Veneno2911 Год назад

@@Thercgeek you could just add flaparons instead of cutting the aileron that would give it a slower roll rate

@michaelschindele5484 2 года назад

It sure comes in hot w/ no flaps . It should have flaps , especially for the price .

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

It’s really not that bad, but I could see it really landing like a peach with flaps in it.

@user-gp4xd7xc5t 8 месяцев назад

It's an amazing aircraft. When using the 6s5000, did you replace only the prop with the same ESC? Was there no need to replace the ESC?

@Thercgeek 8 месяцев назад

Correct, no change of the esc.

@user-gp4xd7xc5t 8 месяцев назад

@@Thercgeek Excellent. Even if you use full throttle, it doesn't go over 60a, right?

@Thercgeek 8 месяцев назад

I never measured the current and never had any issues between the two.

@lancegrey1225 2 года назад

I have to ask, what Does it Cost? Does it Come with the RADIO, Batteries, Prop, and all the other things that are going to be needed?

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

The model is the airframe with the electronics installed including the motor and esc. It requires supplying a radio, receiver and flight battery. I have links to all of that in the video description.

@user-gp4xd7xc5t 8 месяцев назад

I like 4s because I like things that are light weight If I change to 6s, can I feel the speed getting faster? I can seel the power increasing.

@Thercgeek 8 месяцев назад

I actually liked how it flew on 4s a little more. It wasn’t as fast, but it sounded great and still had excellent power.

@oldscratch3540 2 года назад

Nice job, you made it look EZ, Brian Phillips did one and did a lot of tweaking on her.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

What kind of tweaking? I found the assembly was pretty weight forward. Took a little more time glueing it together.

@oldscratch3540 2 года назад

@@Thercgeek mostly on rates. It seemed really responsive. Or overly responsive when he first started. I could see he really had it locked in. Yours seemed to just do great right from the start.

@petebeebe1338 2 года назад

I believe he did flapperons.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

@Pete Beebe I heard about that. Honestly, this isn’t a real great candidate for flaperons IMO. Flaperons reduce your roll rate when they are down just by themselves which at slow speed can be problematic. I think just cutting in a flap would be the way to go honestly and wouldn’t be too hard I don’t think.

@Thercgeek 2 года назад

@Old Scratch that’s all in the setup. I give myself individually selectable aileron and elevator rates which gives me options for both on a maiden. The model was pretty roll sensitive on the first flight, but switching them to low rate during the flight tamed that straight away.

@user-gp4xd7xc5t 8 месяцев назад

I bought an airplane after watching the video. What kind of 4s 5000 battery is it? I want to know the weight. I don't like adding weights. I'm thinking about buying the 5500 size.

@Thercgeek 8 месяцев назад

It’s linked in the video description. It was the Spektrum smart 4s 5000mah.
