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

Hi,

What diameter prop would be closest to scale in appearance on this .60 sized plane? Would it have sufficient ground clearance?

Also, for those that have the OS .91 four stroke or something very close in dimensions and weight, did you have to add any weight to the nose of the model? Could it handle another 8oz of engine weight?

And is there more than 1/2" of clearance between the cowl and the valve covers with the .91?


The reason for my questions are that i'm thinking of the new OS FSa 1.55 purely for the ability to run larger props. I think it would look neat with a 4 bladed 16" or 17" prop
