Status: offline 		I have a DA50 and would like to stick it in a Yellow P47 or Zero. Anyone know which one will fit the motor better? I like the Zero, but don't know if I can get the motor in and if I can get enough weight forward.

Thanks,

Jeff

Status: offline 		Yeah, that's what everyone at my club keeps telling me too. We just have too many P47s flying around and it would be nice to have a Zero. I had a nice one a couple years ago, but it was much smaller. I guess I will just have to find a "unique" paint scheme to do.

Status: offline 		Similar but different, I have a ZDZ 40 in my Yellow P-47. I only mention this as the ZDZ and the DA 50 are close to one another in physical size. Anyway, I used a Bisson inverted Pitts-style muffler in mine and nothing protrudes from the cowl except for the twin exhaust stacks. That's a whole lot cheaper than a custom muffler, bandit driver.

Status: offline 		rudytoo i no it might be cheaper but i'm also trying to get a yellow p-38 built with two DA50's & the muffler i've designed will work on this plane too so i need three of them might get a good deal if they only need to copy the parts three times.

Status: offline 		Ok, I guess the P47 is the one to order. I need to come up with a good paint scheme. I like the Blue Nosers and have a P51B in this style and may do the same for a P47, but am open to others. Any good suggestions?


Jeff

Status: offline 		jmohn,

So, I take it you decided to go with the bubbletop version? I am working on a Yellow razorback. Either way you can't go wrong. The P-47 was quite a machine, bubble or razorback version! There are also lots of cool color schemes to choose from as well.

Good luck!
