Thank You for purchasing the Fat P-47! Welcome to the world of
simple, durable foam flying machines. The Fat P-47 is sure to thrill, with its sleek
styling, and old-timer flair. This plane is suitable for beginners, but it is
recommended that new pilots get the help of an instructor to trim their plane, and
help with the first flights.
Almost anybody can fly the Fat P-47. It’s as easy to build, and more
durable than pre-fab planes that you might find at the hobby shop. But you build
this yourself. In addition to the well-earned pride, you’ll have a complete
understanding of the structure, and if it should ever need repair, you’ll be able to
do it yourself without costly replacement parts.
The “Fat and Flat©” Construction makes the plane quick and easy to
assemble. All the pieces are specially designed to interlock, and are computer
cut so that they fit perfectly every time.
