''Years ago, when I started this build, a product called Presto was available. It was self-adhesive, but far less sophisticated than the aluminum foils we have now. That is what I used on this P-47. Each scale panel was individually cut out and applied. The whole system is lighter because it didn't require glassing as does the foils we use today. ''

I don't think that presto is still available, there are quite a number of foil tapes offered today. Also HVAC tape works very well. I've used this for areas that I'll chip back to show aluminum.

She still hangs right where it was when this picture was taken, and I dream of finishing it one day. However, I have decided to convert her to electric, and pull the old Roam retracts and convert them to electric as well and loose the whole air system. I'll need to pull the old 72mhs system out and update that as well..............some day.
I'll be watching this thread for sure. This is a very nice P-47 and very authentic.

I fly a Jemco P47 Bubble Version. It is scaled with Spring Air Retracts and Remoser Vario 4 Bladed Prop. This was an older plane I made electric with many mods and fly's awesome at half throttle!

John, This is the plane I asked you about at the Ontario show. I converted froma 2 stroke to a 60 powered electric. Runs on a 6s 5000 mAh battery. The plane is 9.5 lbs with minor nose weight added. It also has flaps and gear doors not in photos...couldn't wait to fly it! haha. I will post a few more photos later.

Hey guys. I know this is an old thread but I have one of these P-47's that is already built prior to my getting it. I am trying to find out what the CG is on this bird. Do any of you have that info?
Thanks
