RE: Opinions on ESM P-47 or any ESM Warbird
On my FW-190 the fuse is pretty good quality, its not as good as it could be as there are a few spots between the cockpit and the tail that are a little soft. But it is much better than a CMP spitfire I had.
All and all I would say it is pretty sturdy.
There is a build thread here on RCU for my FW-190 if you want to check it out, I know you want a P-47 but it would give you an idea of the quality of the planes.
I have had a few Chinese ARF's and as far as ARF's are concerned and I think ESM offers a decent line.
Again they are great to get you in the air quick but nothing will ever replace the quality and looks of a kit built plane in my opinion.
