RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

wow, looks like I was wrong all along. I connected the aileron servos in the new angled position, fired up my radio and realized servo reverse was incorrect. So that is how I lost control. The...

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

Here are picture of repairs to landing gear blocks and the surrounding sheathing. When I lost aileron control just after takeoff I cut the throttle and basically prayed for the best. The plane made...

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

This is my redesign in process of the aileron servos to be at proper angle with aileron. I refuse to just shove a hi-torque servo in there because there is no way you can convince me that this tiny...

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

I did the wood spacer and the cowl looks better than the first time for sure. Not quite as straight as your historical pic but better for sure. Fuse is 100% repaired now (my firewall was ripped...

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

yes, now you see what I am talking about. I am in the process of surface mounting my servos and replacing the CA hinges with pinned. I think CA hinges get get really stiff the last 20% of...

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

Yes, I hope you have a hi-torque servo in there, my servo was overloading (buzzing) at full deflection. Check out how the aileron horn bends sideways at full defection, that is just not how it is...

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

This TF P-47 ARF has some serious design flaws. The most serious is a flaw in the aileron-servo connection design. They instruct you to place the control horn in line with the servo horn rather...

RE: Top Flite P-47D Thunderbolt ARF .60-.91: Building & Mods

Never had a Futaba servo strip out on the internal gearing until now and it cost me a TF P-47 1/7 scale ARF on its 8th or 9th flight. During pre-flight the ailerons checked out but once in got in the...
