RE: TopFlite DC-3/C-47 questions
I too built the TF DC-3. All in all it was a nice kit to build. The options I chose are Scale rudder, Split Flaps, Retracts and I built the wing in two pieces with a carbon fiber spar/wing tube.
I chose the OS .52 FS but will probably pick up a couple of .40 FS instead. The .52's are great motors and I will put them in a mosquito I am starting. The DC-3 is very overpowered with .52's.
I glassed it and spray painted it in the Canadian Coast Guard colours.
