Default RE: Another TF P-47 Build


ORIGINAL: raptureboy

Next up are some shots of the fuselage build and the layout for the retractable tail wheel. I am not going to go into the normal building process much, these mods are not what I would call beginner stuff but if you have time and like learning and developing new skills then go for it! I am using air retracts and a pull/pull cable system to control the rudder and tail wheel.
Hi raptureboy,
I'm starting to plan out the geometry for my pull-pull setup. Your post shows some great shots of the tail-wheel cables. Do you have the rudder cables installed yet? I am interested in to see where you positioned your
rudder control horns and where the cables exit. I saw in Connery's Dallas Blonde that he had them almost completely hidden, but I am not quite that ambitious.

I'll be posting some pics of my latest progress later today.
