If anyone is interested in an un-used set of the original retracts, I would let them go for a reasonable price. PM me if interested.

Hi Tailskid.
Yep,one of the best on the island of FYN, Denmark.

Look us up at oemf.dk

By the way,how is it at your flying field ?

We have a paved runway with a LOT of desert in front of us, so landings aren't even a small problem - even for rookies our web site is: www.ampsrc.org and click on the 'R/C Airport" tab. It get very hot here in the summer

Now this was a thread! Just started reading through....

I found a brand new H9 P47 arf in perfect condition. I'm really excited as this is my first warbird.

If anyone is still reading this thread and thoughts about using a dle30? I see a lot of people using 50cc but that really seems overkill to me, did I miss something? And if you do use a 50 how far is the prop hub from the firewall?


Thanks,
Steve

question is where did you find the new ARF??

I am jealous

Hey Steve

Good luck with your NEW H9 P-47. You will love the way it fly's and lands. It's a piece of cake. I'm running the Evolution GT35cc gas enging and it seems ok for me, I'm not looking for a speed machine, Just a good flying warbird and the EV 35 does that well.

Yes this is a great flying plane, I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have.We have two in our club,one with a Moki 1.80 that does just fine and minewith a CRRC Pro GF50i . A piston ported gas engine with the carb on the sidewill bolt right up while some of the rear carb engines will need a little engine boxwork. I think the engine box to prop distance is a little over 5 1/2" stock but I donthave the destructions handy. enjoy and keep us postedTim

Steve,

I also found a NIB ARF one at a Swap meet a year ago. I have a CRRC-50 on mine and it's more than adequate. A DLE-30 would be a little weak for this bird in my opinion. Check on youtube or RCU videos, there are a few flying on Zenoah 26's and they are quite unimpressive. I'd recommend at least a 40 cc.

A older member of my club was very large into RC, plankers and heli. He is now in poor health and doesn't want to leave a mess with his lovely bride. He called and asked if I would help him sort through and sell off his hobby stuff which I agreed to. He had this arf in his collection, never touched it, I wanted a war bird and I wanted gas so this one seemed to fit the bill. I'm now trying to figure out what I bought

FYI: still lot of glow engines for sale (mostly Saitos and a couple two strokes)

I have a dle30 rear carb in a box, just never used it. Taking some rough measurements it looks like it will stand off about 6.5 inches, the directions call for 5.5

I'm thinking two ways to solve it.
1. Shorten the firewall by cutting the engine box
2. Go a little backwards and buy the side carb kit (if I can find one)
3. Did I say two ways; maybe a different engine

I fly a lot of gas and all my 30% planes with 50 & 55cc engines have 3d power. If this plane builds about the same weight I don't see it needing a 50cc engine unless I want to hang it on the prop.... am I missing something?

Steve

StevL

Congrats on your find!

I can see where the Zenoah 26 could be a little weak but a DLE30 is night and day compared to the 26. I'll take your suggestion and start looking for some videos. Thanks!

I've had mine for a long time now and I still love to fly her.I get a lot of compliments on her all the time.Great flying bird,easier than my TFGS P51's,still a little trouble with original gear.Moki 180,may put a 210 Moki in to see what she will do.Tom p.s. the Moki 180 does a great job and I can't complain about the speed or performance just would like to see what it would do with the extra power.Probably won't but maybe.

Prop Wash you said it, I love this P-47. It is the best flying warbird I have.
As you know I went with the crrc 50ion a 20x10 and the speed is great.
I did give up on the gear after about 50 flights and went withsierra gear
and have never looked back. There is two lengths of struts from sierra as
the two runs of P-47's were different by 3/8 inch. Mine took the long ones.
You must grease it in every time to still be on the factory retracts. I had a
couple cross wind landings that finally did mine in.

cheers

Tim,your jug looks great.Maybe I'll bash mine a little one of these days.Tom

Hey guys Nice thread, I just recently got the 150 size P-47 it came completely RTF with a saito 1.80 as a guy I kjnow put it all together but has never flown it, he's had it for about 2 years. is this going to be enough engine on it? Just wondering what to expect, I've been a RC Builder and flyer for about 41 years now so I'm no stranger to the habbits of these beautiful war planes. this was just a deal I couldn't pass up even though I prefer to build them myself.

The original prototype was designed and flown by Mike Mc Conville with a Saito 180. Plenty of motor for this plane. I want a little more zip, so flying mine with a BME 50 gas. Easy flying and landing plane for a warbird. My advice is to pick one up if you lucky enough to find one in good shape. Paul

Was the engine a tight fit?

Waldopepperaxel

Thanks Meschmidt I'll see how it odes then, I was originally just going to buy the 1.80 for my KMP Me 109 Now I still need a motor for that lol

simonslim

I don't think a 50cc would be a tight fit, it would be the exhaust that may be a problem unless you go for a wrap around pitts style. I had a 3W 40cc in mine and it looked a bit lonely.
