Guys,
Can any of you recommend a build thread for the conversion of a P47 D to the razorback version. I have a RTC P47 on order and want to make it into a racorbzck. I just can't find one that shows the conversion process.

http://wyliewarbirds.com/ used to sell a conversion, but I don't see it on the site now. Might contact them.

Likely the same as the Tar Heel Hal version which is not much more than 9 inches wide. Not likely you'll find twin to fit inside there. The EME 70 is advertised as 9 7/8 cap to cap so you may be able to get away with just the plug caps sticking out on that one.

I used a Zenoah G62 with electronic ignition conversion. I did not add any weight and is balanced 1/4 inch aft of the recommended CG. The plane flies perfectly. If you use the magneto version, it should balance per the plan without adding any nose weight. Be mindful of the fact that my batteries are as far forward as they can be. I also used a fiberglass specialties cowl with full resin dummy radial and chin cowl
. This adds about an extra pound of weight.

I just re-maidened my silver F86 Saber Dog turbine at Tim's field after giving it a heart transplant. That's my way of referring to changing out the receiver. I switched from Spektrum DX18 to a Futaba 14SG. I originally subscribed here because my son was building a Top Flite P51, which has since crashed due to lockout. I AM building a Top Flite Corsair this winter though.

This airplane really needs this engine in my opinion, perfect match powerwise and the sound

Very nice however no one and at one time including me has noticed the R-2800 sits WAY back in the Jugs cowl and in the case of our R/C versions the power plant that most flyers use being gas takes up that space. You guys into electrics can probably place your electric motor just behind the gear box
