For the history buffs out there, here is a very cool "motion picture" of the uncrating and field assembly of the P-47. Talk about the ultimate ARF!!

Count me in if you can
I've got a Top flite build on the bench that I've taken longer than I'd like (2 years). Just got to the messy making the doors etc with laminating but other projects got in the way (Stuka & FW-190 ARTF which I have both modified). I was going to place an Evolution 26cc gasser up front but changed my mind - now thinking a 120OS or a radial 3 cylinder Saito. I have also made the canopy slide - pics attached. I'm also working on making the cooling cowls work as the real one - opening and closing depending on the engine temp

This is my first Jug. The second will be ready for spring!
Engine - RCG 50 - Servos Hitech 5645 and JR 8231
Retracts - ESM and wheels. AUW - 22 lbs. Crashed after 6 flights due to
lack of glue on main fuse-servo mount.

Hello All,
Yes please include a description of your plane with the type of kit (scratch built, kit, ARC, ARF), weight, wingspan, length, engine, prop size and type, retracts, brand of wheels & tires.
This will help your brothers out when trying to get their projects dialed in!
Thanks in advance!!!

What could be better than a pair of big jugs
Add me on the roster, I've been in love with these babies since I was a kid. My first one was a TF 60 kit that got shot down on it's 5th mission. Currently I'm building another one that will be powered with a DLE 20 just like my Mustang and P-40
Here is the thread where i am building the next one http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/kit-...7-build-2.html

First of all thanks Rick for making me a member of the brotherhood And second, The pics I posted go in order; 60 size TF ARF with a Evolution 20cc gasser, Retracts & wheels came with the model (at least for the time being) Hitec 645 mg servos & a 9 ch. Optima Rec. Rcexel kill switch for safety And a Hobbico L.i.f.e. 2200mah battery for ign. & rec. The one on the table is a TF GS kit I've been working on since last year is waiting on main retracts from Robart and will get a 55cc DLE RA engine and will most likely be glassed & painted.
