Not a good idea, but anything is possible with enough money. (IE multiple attempts = multiple planes, radio components, and even engines as they are totaled in crashes) =$$$

Extreme patience and attention to detail along with in depth research into how to have the most reliable engine possible, the correct servos for the P-47, setting up a remote fueling valve, glow plug ignitor, etc. is also essential to tackle a first plane warbird. And that is after assembling the P-47 with the correct balances and control throws. Oh yeah, the retract system set up.......another thing that can go wrong. Are you willing to do all of the research or will you pay to have someone else do that? Do you really want all of that complexity?

And then you have to learn to fly it. Here is where an instructor with a good buddy box system is invaluable. Are you the type that LISTENs to the instructor and retains all of his teachings? A simulator is also good to learn coordination, but is not the same as reality in the end. Learning to fly RC involves incurring some mistakes which quite often means crashes or at least mishaps. this is why it is best to learn with trainer type models. You don't have your heart and soul in a trainer so it doesn't hurt when it is damaged. If you try at least one trainer first, before that P-47 you won't regret it.
