The concern is the amount of power. I am saying my concern might be unfounded due to other peoples satisfaction. A red flag in my head does not mean I am right! The real corsair and p47 had the same engine with similar performances at level flight at the same manifold pressure. Christiantofastforyou, could you comment on your planes performance? -Tom
