About the P-47 Thunderbolt

The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was one of the most rugged and heavily armed fighter aircraft of World War II. Known for its durability, firepower, and ability to absorb damage, the P-47 excelled in both escort and ground attack roles. Its powerful radial engine and unmistakable profile made it one of the most recognizable fighters of the era.

The Dan’l Boone scheme is modeled after Captain Daniel Boone of the 333rd Fighter Squadron, 318th Fighter Group, giving this giant-scale RC version extra historical appeal for warbird enthusiasts.

Today, the P-47 remains a favorite in RC aviation because of its bold presence, stable flight characteristics, and classic warbird styling.
