Pete,


If this is your first airplane please don't attempt to fly it! This is not a beginner airplane!

If you have no previous flying skills you really need to learn first on a more stable [link=http://www.hooked-on-rc-airplanes.com/rc-trainer-airplane.html]trainer airplane.[/link]

If you fly your P-47 with no prior flying experience there is 100% chance you will destroy it in less than 20 seconds!
