Default RE: Meister 1/5 scale P-47

Here is a look from inverted.

Interesting to note is the change in lateral balance that occurs as they come down. You can see how the plane rolls to the right as the gear comes down. This, plus the aerodynamic drag differential due to the stagger is commented on by the full scale pilots of the jug. My hope with the model version is that the extra drag and weight on the right wing will actually help with the left yaw as I go for the gear switch on the left side of my radio.
