Probably the best video on KZfaq! Love the music as well.... I have the identical kit; started, but got sidetracked with other planes. This is motivational as well as an excellent build reference, thank you so much!

Nice work! That's definitely a beast of a plane. I am finishing up the Top Flight P-15D .60 scale Gold Edition (65" wing) after putting down half built for 12 years. I must say I am enjoying the craft again.

I havent built a plane of that detail,but I built a plank on plank ship called the swift. I remember doing a few rubber band powered planes using the same method of building. I covered it with tissue and plane dope,then paint. I am sure I could tackle one of those but i would prefer covering with the iron on plastic fabric they use today. I remember watching the old timers used some kind of canvas material in the old days,I know you cant even get that material any more. We flew the line control planes back in the 60's and early 70's,there were no foam planes back then. I remember when they first came out,I said there is no way in hell I would buy a foam plane,lol. I have two now and make my own. I prefer electric now over fuel,simply because I dont have a storage place to put that stuff. Its a beautiful plane,would love to see you finish it. why does everyone criticize the music on builds? geesh who cares. Its about the build not the music.

Hi Brenton, As someone new to the building of planes, I wish there was a voice over behind the music talking about the build, with some descriptions to each picture. The pictures showing the build quality were fantastic, but without some explanation of your excellent work, I f/f through to the end. Would LOVE to see some tutorials as to how to do quality builds if you ever decide. Regards.

Sweet build, Brenton... I imagine you got your start let the most of us, with kits. But what I'm really curious about is how the transition to "scratch" building occurred, if there was one.

Incredible workmanship on this project. I love working with wood, it's one of my favorite pastimes. I've been contemplating an aircraft of the WWII vintage. This takes a lot of patience and I'm trying to figure it out, do I have the patience to build it? lol. The displays shown above show the price of the kits only, is that correct? Could you advise me on a plane to start with in this 'giant' class? I'd be interested to talk with you about it at your convenience. Thank's for sharing this video, I enjoyed it.

Hello, I am planning to build a top flite airplane too, but there aren't any decent plans for it so I decided to make my own. The question is are the spars strong enough? My plane has about 3 metre wing span, I was thinking about using an aluminum tube, is that excessive?

I have a question that I am sure may raise some eyebrows but...what the heck! I love P47c Thunderbolts. However, I will never be able to own, let alone afford an original one. Looking at this video it got me thinking. If I were to scale the technical drawings up to between 75%-90%, mount a 300 go radial on it , do you think it would work? Naturally there would be some modifications, but the bulkhead nd longerons may be adequate. I mean, the model is designed to fly.
