Status: offline 		Hey guys I know this is not the place to ask this queston but I did not want to start a new post.

A good freind of mine past a way a while ago, and his wife is asking me to help her sell his birds.

As such he has 2 TopFlite Gaint P47

One is a kit built with done Razor Back, with a G62 Spring start good servos and robart Retracts. Its not fiberglassed but covered nicely and has panel lines drawn on. The only down side to this bird is he got some nice aftermarket fiberglass Cowl that needs to be painted black and white checkers.

The secound I was there when he got it last year at a Air Show.

Its a Arf recoverd in Silver and black, with panel lines drawn on, the same nice cowl, done nicely with a AR9000 reciver, smoke and robart retracts and a DLE55. but no tail wheel retract and good servos.

The secound one is sweet but I like the razor back.

My issue is I alrady have a new TopFlite Gaint P47 in the box wateing for me to get to, I was going to put a ZDZ80Super with a 22X10 4 blade prop. But I have seen this P47 3 times at my flying feild wich bothers me.

So my question is which would you get As both are detailed out better than I have yet been able to do.

She only wants me to pay $500 for eather one, even thow I told her how much there worth, but she wants to help me out for helping her out.

My only othere option is to chose the TopFlite Gaint P51 with DA50 and Kelio muff, with robart retracts, but it looks plane like mine did.

My only issue with the P51 is every one got one, and I had had one with a DLE55 with Kelio muff that I lost at a show due to my 4cell nicad reciver pack in my DX8 Craped out.

Im finishing up a TopFlite Gaint P40 this week just looking for a good poilt.

Sorry guys I just need help makeing up my mind becouse I feel odd about the whole thing, Mike

I have the cowl half way remounted with external screws. I'll load some pictures after I get it done. I don't like redoing things so it may take a while.

All you have to do is paint the cowl which is rather easy compared to the other one that you need to buy new servos and tail gear which could be expensive.

Also I sent you a PM.
Where in Ohio are you located?

Guys

I heard about the fires a few days ago and the report mentioned Brizzy so I e-mailed him his responce was they are fine but fires are all about and mostly farther south.

I would suspect his new lady is back from her world tour so he may be a bit pre ocupied

Have been watching your build for a few years now. Your P-47 will be very nice. I hope mine turns out as good. I would like to ask what air ram you are using for the inter main gear door? Hope you can tell me the length when open , close and stroke or part number. I am guessing that it is a Robart 165?

Thanks
Steve

Richard

No it is a metel tape or sheet material that is sticky backed and is gut in panel's there several ways to apply/install it. There are also several outher places to get the material from outher than Flite metal. If you have addittional questions just ask

Hope this helps

Cheers Bob T

Right now I'm helping a friend with his Great Lakes Bipe. I'll be back on the Jug by the end of the week.

hey guys,
all good here. Fires are not near us thank goodness but plenty of other areas are badly affected.

Busy with family and my lovely lady, catching up on the 3 months she was away on her trip. also my Dad is very ill so that is taking a toll. 47 is waiting patiently and will be back on it in due course.

Keep building those 47s guys

cheers
Peter

Steve,
thanks mate. There were from sierra precission. forget the length but think they are about 1.25" in throw from memory. do some drawings using a compass to work out the throws by drawing arcs. that is how I worked out what I needed.

cheers
Peter

Don't know if that's the screws I'm going to use. I'm thinking about getting some button head screws and painting them.

Hi Old Tom

That install looks Great. but just a question have you run the engine as yet to see what kind of vib's you might have that could make problems ?

Its to cold hear to work in the shop -10 F with a wind chil of -30 so it take to long to heat the shop, so maybe next week with the heat wave + 20 I might get in there and get something done

Cheers Bob T
