Status: offline 		There you go Jet Freak, Countryboy pretty much explained it. Aerotech is as close to scale you can get
rivets, details and all already into all the surfaces and fuse. With yellow it would take hours upon days
to add all this in. So that is where the price increase comes. The only drawback in my opinion to
aerotech other than maybe price is weight, The p-47 would tip the scales at around 33lbs where the
yellow might get up to 24-26 tops and they are both 80" spans

Status: offline 		I was studying the instruction manual and I think a retractable tailwheel is doable. I'm gonna wait and see before I decide to put the preferred air retracts on it though. Anybody else thinking along these lines?

Status: offline 		I'm thinking that the tailwheel retract unit Yellow Aircraft sells for $30 will work quite nicely on this plane. It is bulkhead mounted and air operated. That's one of the first things I'm going to look at when the kit arrives.

I'm curious to see the new main gear the P-47 comes with. It looks to me like it should do the job. If so, I'll stick with it, which raises the question of whether I want to run an air tank/valve/servo just to make the tailwheel go up. (probably so )

Status: offline 		I too hope they REDESIGN the CUTOUTS FOR THE MAIN WHEELS so that LARGER more SCALE SIZED WHEELS WILL FIT!!!!!!!!! THat is one thing that looks silly and out of size on this otherwise great looking A/C,,,, Hope they do it right..

Status: offline 		Here are some questions I have:

1. How strong the main gear looks
2. What gas engine options exist based on space inside he cowl
3. Is the tailwheel adaptable to a retract setup
4. Is converting to air retracts practical

Best of luck with your new fighter.

Status: offline 		I'm sure 3010's would be fine for her. No one has one yet, so pictures are not available..... I'll probably be using Hitec 75 retract servos on mine- when and if it arrives. Not sure about the motor...

Status: offline 		cool, I think S3010 will do just fine, it's a show fly on the wing bird so i think i'll go with these, but my order will have to wait till next year because we are moving to the lone star state, in the mean time I will follow this thread and learn what goes best for this bird!

Status: offline 		Woah.. from Washington to TX? Good luck with the move. The one down side to the 3010's could be the nylon gears. You just have to make sure that the linkages are tight. Otherwise I've been using the 3305's ALOT!
