RE: Need help with my first plane
Some more friendly advice. You will need more than a few hours of practice before you can move onto the P-47. Once you get started and depending how many times you fly per week , it could take a season or two before you are ready. Don't rush it or you will have a broken P-47.
Logical progression that works is: Learn on and fly a Trainer Plane for several weeks/months. Move up to a High Wing More Aerobatic Plane (like a Big Stick) and practice on that. Then move on to a Mid-Low Wing Trainer and after that you are ready for Scale and Warbird Planes.
