Status: offline 		Well, guys,
I called Horizon today. I wanted to clear up some confusion regarding two different due dates. Chief says February and even confirms that. Horizon says that Chief has not updated the due date yet on their web page. I ask Horizon, what's the hold up and the gentleman explained the high amount of details and quality for this ARF has delayed the first production run. There are no compromises with this airplane accepted. The April due date is kinda for safety in case first production is encountering problems. He said it is very possible to see the first large shipment arrive in March. There is also a long list of backorders.
I guess I'll wait. I already bought all the servos for this bird.

I'm hearing whispers from KMP that they're going to release some new models this spring, maybe even a 80 something inch Corsair. But it's only whispers. Anybody heard the same thing?

It's big, it's beautiful, and even though it's shiny, it looks awesome. Didn't have my camera with me otherwise I'd post some shots for ya'll. Based upon what I saw, this one will be worth the wait.

Status: offline 		Flanker, It was a beauty wasn't it. I also noticed the extra shine to it. I could still deal with it.

For the guys that havn't seen it up close, Wow..........is all I can say. The picture's I had seen don't do justice for what it looks like for real.

Status: offline 		I was at the AMA Convention yesterday, too. This thing is nice. REALLY nice! I can now understand why Horizon is taking the time to get it right. Once this thing starts hitting the streets, the people who weren’t sure if they wanted one are going to want one.

My friend and I have had ours on order for months. Our other friend was waiting to see one. He is calling the LHS today to add himself to the list.

Here's some pics:

Status: offline 		Way back, someone asked about the wheel size. Well, with the gear retracted on the only H9 P-47 in the USA that is available for us to view, it was hard to measure the wheels.

But according to Peter Goldsmith, the wheels are 4.5" in diameter.

"So far, I believe nothing that I hear and half of what I see", but time will tell.
