RE: lets see what your p-47s look like
I new you couldn't have possibly been serious, just had to take a few cheep pokes 
Anyway, I bet it's great to hear stories from Mr Harry LeMoyne. A member of our club once brought a guy out who had flown 10 or 11 missions aboard B-17's. He wasn't the pilot (cant recall just what he did) but he talk for almost 1 1/2 hrs. It was very interesting and everyone there listened to him.

RE: lets see what your p-47s look like
There sure is lots of nice looking P-47 out there. I’m still building my new “Jug†and hope to have it ready in the beginning of next year. I’m just about to start with the cockpit and then I think I’m ready to start glassing. You can look at my project at http://www.henrikrosen.com .
I wonder how Ham639 done so he can open the canopy. I’m thinking of trying to do that to and so it will open with help from a micro servo. I don’t want to much weight so it gets hard to fly. I’m using an OS FS 120 SIII engine.

Thanks for the kind remarks Don, the Jug is for a customer. By the way, did you give up on your MR Spit to work on the big Clark Spit?
Corsair Jock, the pics look like they are of the Yellow P-47 belonging to Chuck Hamilton. (ham639) He'll probably chime in and confirm.

Chad,
Yeah, that's my Jug! What a great flying bird. Everybody should have a T-bolt in thier hangar. Has Brian took delivery of the T-bolt yet? Many thanks to Corsair Jack for the cool photos of my T-bolt at Warbirds over Michiana. You guys should see how slow Corsair Jack can get his TF Corsair, it just hangs in the air.

Throttle idle, full flaps, slight slip, engine quits. To this day mt jug still looks like this. Building and glassing is one thing, fixing it is another. Hopefully, one day I'll have children and they will take over it.
Robart teared out of the wing, all is skin damage, ribs are still OK.

if your using Johnson cans than the exhaust outlets/if your using a 4.2 size or larger engine, out side diameter is almost a perfect fit for a female 1/2 copper water fitting.I cut down the exhaust tubes to around 3/4 of an inch and used JB weld for holding differen't pieces together in order to route the exhaust down and back to the proper exit.
I use the red NOT BLUE !! silicone that you buy at the Toledo rc expo. Sorry but I can't remember who sold the stuff,maybe someone can help me there with that one. Anyway the red is rated at almost 600 degrees where the blue is only rated around 450 degrees.I have been using this same exhaust for 3 seasons now and it hasn't hardened,gotten stiff,come off or leaked in any way shape or form yet to be seen. I also use header gasket material from any speed shop and epoxy it to the inside of my cowling.I make the exit hole in the fiberglass cowl larger than the hole in the gasket material. Make the hole in the gasket material the same size if not slightly smaller than the outside diameter of the copper elbow.the gasket material being a softer material lets you force the copper elbow through without any problems thus creating a very tight/holding fit around the copper.
The gasket material is perfect for the heat generated from your exhaust and does not in any way effect the epoxy that is holding it to the inside of the cowling and does not transfer any of the heat to the fiberglass cowling itself.

I found the diagram and rescanned it to a jpg so here is the way that I did the exhaust, I hope this helps clear up any questions. Terry
