The Douglas C-47 was the military transport version of the DC-3 airliner and went by numerous names both official and unofficial including Skytrain, Dakota, and Gooney Bird. It was used in World War II extensively by the allies and was vitally important during campaigns in Guadalcanal, Burma, and later, the Berlin Airlift. In all, over 10,000 C-47 or license-built versions were produced between March 1943 and August 1945.

 

In addition to being used by American and other allied forces during World War II, since then has seen extensive use by other smaller nations armies. Surplus C-47's entered the civilian market and became quite popular over the years as cargo carriers, small-time airlines, and forest fire bombers.

 

Our model of the C-47 arrives as a fully molded EPO foam airframe, in all bolt together, plug and fly format. As a scale model, it is a remarkably accurate representation.  The C-47 has a host of features including working retracts, LED wingtip and landing lights, as well as a large removable battery hatch and working flaps. Making take off much easier, we have included counter-rotating propellers. To handle the load of all those servos, lights, plus retracts, we've included an external BEC unit wired into the ESC wire harness.

 

Flying the C-47 is a treat. Large tail surfaces, a light wing loading, plenty of power, and ample washout all combine to make a docile handling airplane. Fly slow, fly fast, this thing looks great from all angles at any speed. Really when you think about it, we've made a complete package. Scale looks, excellent handling, color, all at a price that is quite affordable. You're probably thinking “but I'm not into scale models” honestly, with what we offer you, you'll want to be into scale models after seeing the HobbyKing C-47.

I am in the process of assembling my C47 it came with only US decals apparently it was a typing error HK have rectified this thankyou. It appears ok the manual leaves a little to be desired it does not describe the electrical assembly putting numbers to numbers yes but what do the numbers relate to as in what is there function.

Excellent value for money, unfortunately on the first motor run the blade hub broke throwing a prop which luckily went in the opposite direction to myself. Downside no spare props avalable !! upside fitted two MA 8x6 cw / ccw 3 blade propellors full strength and more thrust than the supplied ones.

Great plane for a friendly price .

Apr 24, 2019

This C47 is my third plane of this serie ,the two other ware DC3 .
The only difference is the color scheme , they fly eazy and with just a little power when landing they handle well .The flaps are functional and keep the landing speed low enough to prevent the plane of tipping over the nose ;the retractable landing gear make it a very scale like appearance on the flying site. Long grass runways are not the best to fly from ,the landing gear is not happy with that ,short cut grass is no problem ..The motors and the ESC are of reasonable quality, if you just keep it to a 4 cell battery and don't keep full throttle all the time ,just eaze of a bit and you have lots of fun with this plane .The tree planes I have do not have a tension of wing tip dropping when landing . Nice plane to fly .

My C47 arrived reasonably quick 5 days and no visible damage. The model was packed very well and no damage. I removed the parts etc and I must say its detail is excellent and it is made very well. Over the next week or so I will assemble the C47.
