Status: offline 		I know this thread has been around a long time, but i would like to add my name to the hundreds of pilots that have had a successful maiden of their P-47. My airplane has been converted to electric and flys great, only a few clicks of down elevator.Looking forward to my first war bird event..

Status: offline 		Hi, I wonder if I can help, I want to do a query. I have a P-47 .60 Top Flite and just buy a motor OS FS 110 that I like to put a muffler Keleo brand. I have visited your website and I can not tell which is the right muffler for the OS FS 110. I could tell which one is right?
Thanks.

Status: offline 		They do offer them for the .91 & 120 so just determine which has the same thread size on the exhaust as the 110

Status: offline 		ok... i hope I'm doing this right..

I've been reading this thread and some items are pretty consistent... universally those in the know say to move the tail servos up to the receiver area and re-inforcing the firewall..

I may have gone overboard after reading a thread on using epoxy on the firewall (to add strength). I layed a sheet of 3oz fiberglass and used 30min epoxy (about 2oz) thinned with a faint amount of 70% rubbing alchohol (less than a tea spoon). and soaked the cloth and layed it out inside the firewall... I also put some scrap ply in those weird cutouts from the factory. did I screw it up? Am I ordering a new fuselage? (please say no).

with this much added weight strengthening the firewall for the YS f120 I'm worried I'm going to be super nose heavy. what do you think... wait to move the servos or am I on the right track?

Status: offline 		to say i'm struggling would be an understatement.. I'm about ready to switch to electric.. (that should kill my ever wanting to fly this plane). This YS F120 had been very reliable in the Zen 120 it was in... very easy to start and pulled like a clydesdale.

I think what I'm experiencing is called "syphoning". It's obvious the centerline of the tank is higher than the carb when the plane is upright... during startup fuel literally pours out of the exhaust header. is there a do-hickey to introduce that would prevent that or will i actaully have to modify the airframe/fuselage?

Status: offline 		update.. the YS 120 is off to get rebuilt by gents far smarter than i... in the short term i maidened my Jugg with a Scorpion 3540-330 on 6S & Ice lite 100 with an 15.5 X 12.5 4 blade APC... max speed about 65MPH... she flew super easy...

I've gone ahead and bought a CC Ice 100 to run 8s on the same motor and prop... details on that flight later this week.

Status: offline 		Setup: Scorpion 4035-330. HV Ice 100. 15.5X12.5 4blade APC. Dual 4s 5000MAh

She was over 100MPH easy. I was pulling away from a pogo. I had accelerating vertical (unlimited)

She pulls left on take off and the stock retracts don't suffer drifting well. Lots o' right rudder

If she were a little bigger she'd be my favorite plane of all time. Gonna buy her her Wingspan retracts to do her justice!
