I noticed James had a video up on the maiden of the new BH P47. Is there an offical thread yet for this plane and does anyone have one yet?

As a scale geek, I'm ambivalent about the new P-47 bubbletop model. I like its size and the fact that it isn't a foamie, but made of wood. Minuses (for me) are the cowl, which which looks in the photos like it is a bit too small for the fuselage fit, no inner gear doors on the main gear, and the fact that they put a Corsair tailwheel assembly and gear doors on a P-47. The tailwheel is very impressively made (for a Corsair) but I don't really care for it on a P-47. I'm not saying I would never buy one, but at this point I probably wouldn't. I guess I'm spoiled by the look of the CARF and other large P-47s that have been on the market. Years ago, there used to be Aerotech 1/6 scale airplanes, made of carbon fiber. I built and flew several of them in competition. The problem was they were very heavy and didn't fly all that well, but they sure Looked the part!
If it flies well, it will probably be popular as a sport-scale model to have fun with.
