RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods
a little note on the cockpit kit, when I installed the TF cockpit, for the kit version I needed to install the floor, then the instrament pannel which required some trimming to fit, then the cockpit sides,then like you noticed the seat which I had to place as far back as I could to get the pilot I had to fit, on the headrest I made a balsa piece to fit into the rear area and then glued it in at a angle, using a small piece of balsa with a angle to brace the headrest so it wouldnt vibrate loose over time.
also you will like the TT spinner, I ended up using the same one that you have ordered, I did need to cut down the supplied screw since it bottomed out on the crankshaft of my OS120 fs
I have one of those Higly hubs and it seemed a little to small compared to the scale photos I have, and if you want to double nut the engine there a little odd looking with the small nut and the button on the end.
