If this is your "first plane". You need to put it back on the shelf & buy a " trainer type" plane With no experience you have just about done everything you can do when a "warbird" is your 1st plane. Taxi get it in the air for a couple of seconds then crash. Wait until you have more experience before you try to fly something like a P47. I know they are cool looking & all that. But, I'm sure if you you keep it up with the frustration with P47, before long you will give up on a VERY enjoyable hobby. Get in touch with your local R/C Club & get the help that you need to make this hobby enjoyable to you. This plane might be underpowered, however, an experienced pilot could probably get it in the air rather quickly. Believe me, I'm in NO WAY trying to be a smarta_ _ to you, just give you the help that you need Good Luck !!
