Any suggestions for a gas engine for the Yellow P-47? One is one the way


If the power compairson is any help  I have a Moki 2.1 in mine and it has plenty of power.  It will loop from level flight and has plenty of speed for me.  it mounts in the cowl without any cutting of the cowl, and I have two exhausts in the scale location.  Other than being difficult to start inverted, I love it!

Photos on request.

Status: offline 		Ok, here are a few photos of how I did my exhausts.  I had to change the angle of the pipes from the muffler. A friend of mine helped on that with some expert aluminum welding.   Also a fedw finished photos. for anyone interested, I did an extensive build on this model at the following link:

The dummy radial was from Aero Tech.

Therefore Mr Tailskid, , you MUST bring that big jug to Birmingham so that it will be assured a proper home  , .....oh yeah Jerry, be sure to go ahead and install a new G62 on it first!!!   LOL

So you got one coming huh? COOL MAN!!!     
 You going to go full house and deck her all out with all the bells and whistles?
Sounds good for sure brother.
I just pulled the trigger today on a Top Flite 60 size Corsair arf at Tower, at $199 ( after all the promo codes with free shipping)   I couldnt build the kit  and cover it for that, so I said what the heck, Merry Christmas to me

Status: offline 		Sorry, but the shipment cannot go to a state that has the weather you guys just had! So, it's sunny, 65 degrees and wind gusting to 2 MPH....better put on Jeans and gloves to go flying

Yeah, I'd like to deck it all out...next CO$T will be retracts - thinking of Sierra's but they are 'SPENDY' and I might have to sell my 'stash' of planes to afford them.

Concerning the Corsair....we have one flying here with a DLE20 and it flys well, but for some reason, it LOVES to bounce on almost all landings - might be pilot induced - he can land only with two notches of flaps, if he goes to full flaps the plane gets twichey....is that a word????

You going to put some retracts in that bird, they REALLY need them

Here is what "MY" space in the garage looks like after my wife's garage sale....

The Dummy engine is from Aeroteck.. same as Dashes. Makes a lot of difference sitting up front right behind the prop. Mine has a full interior etc with sliding canopy etc.
Pretty simple plane to build I think. Took as much time with the cockpit and canopy as the wings! lol..

Engine ran great and the speed and power is so cool.

Status: offline 		While we are on the subject of the Yellow Jug, does anyone have a clever mounting method for the cowl other than stock method? With the dummy engine etc. it becomes a problem getting to the rear nylon cowl bolts. I'm thinking of a gooder,aka easier, method!

Status: offline 		A stock Zenoa G-45 WILL NOT fit in the cowl without carb modification. The angle of the card is towards the curve of the cowl.

However a G-62 will fit completly in the cowl with most mufflers.
If you use a Bennett muffler, you will lose a very slight amount of power if you run it to the scale location.
You can dump it right out the bottom and it will be loud and fast too.

Weight is perfect to balance it also. You need 6.5 to 7 pounds ahead of the firewall to balance it anyway.

Mount it with TWO of the stock mounting plates that come with Zenoa62 and add a longer prop hub to fit(Sierra).
With the engine that far back, you will have PLENTY of room for a dummy engine up front.

Get rid of the way that Yellow tells you to mount the cowl, and use the Aerotech way. TWO flush mounts on the top in the anti glare panel painted to match and you will never notice them. 4 bolts around the bottom the same way.

Add your Aerotech cowl accessories and you are on your way.

Status: offline 		BobH, from my gallery here is my jug, cowl mounting.
I used four aluminum 90 degree brackets at 2, 10 and 5,7 o'clock positions.
Then used a rubber grommet with brass insert in it from taylors Do it Center.
Hole in aluminum is drilled large enough to insert the rubber grommet. From the outside a 4-40 bolt with nylon washer is used.
When tightened the bolt pulls the insert and expands the rubber behind the aluminum mount bracket to lock it down.

Had to relieve cowl for pitts style muffler. But used high temp car engine paint ( auto zone) to match stripes.
Nose art was printed picture, 3M spray glue to attach, then clear coat spray a day later with two light coats.
