Default Modeltech P-47 "maiden"

Got that baby off the ground this morning. Every thing went well. I saw a friend of mine fly his a few months ago and was ready for the nosing over on takeoffs and landings.
* I have an OS 1.08 (inverted) up front which there is more than enough room for. Pulled just great with a 15/8 prop. Retracts were fine using Kavan wheels.
After a couple minutes of trimming, I started to relax but then a few more laps it was time to come in. I couldn't see the darn thing.
Gray and black was not good and my vision is still 20/15. I am going to add a couple of wide white strips near the out edge to help on those turns.
Definitely a keeper.
