One other thing about P-47's as well as P-51's, P-40's, and just about every other model of a WWII fighter is they are heavy compared to their wing size. So they have to fly faster to stay in the air and also land faster. When the engine quits they don't glide well at all. If they slow down they fall and are hard to save without significant damage. It takes a cool head to stay ahead of all of this. Do you think you could train enough on this first plane to avoid problems? I recommend the Avistar if you want to start and advance fast with an instructor. Its wing is semi symmetrical but with a light wing loading so you can do a lot of training from basic to advanced with an instructor. http://www.towerhobbies.com/products.../hcaa2016.html
