This is so cool! Thanks for the update.

This gives us a new perspective on what was done to keep the freedom we enjoy today.

And that it does not just take to be the good guys to win a war. That's beautiful "American Engeneering"

And finally, I won't complain anymore when I find some ARFs difficult to build.

Thanks for the video posting.

My uncle was a P-47 crew chief during WWII so he probably spent some time doing exactly what the video illustrates.

He loved the P-47 and his home was adorned with numerous photos. As a kid I was too shy and respectful to ask questions then and as a teen was too busy chasing girls to ask later. He is long gone now and I regret not spending some time with him once I matured a bit.

That was too cool...amazing field assembly of a 1:1 ARF! Makes you prouder than ever. Seeing that just makes me happier of my Modeltech P-47 powered with an OS91Surpass. Thanks for finding and sharing that film. I am going to spread it to my club and friends! Jon

If you are a RC airplane flyer this has to be watched. Thanks so much for posting the link. Now if they made an ARF that was that easy to build with everything aligned by just a few pins, I would buy that warbird.

Did anyone catch how long the whole process would take if everything 'worked' right?

I think it would take a couple of days to assemble one even with a lot of soldiers.
