I finished my P-47 a few weeks ago. I'm hoping to put the maiden flight on in a few days. (Waiting for a calm day) It's an early Yellow Aircraft. I used an older but very reliable 3W-60 for power, Sierra retracts and sequencer, JR high torque servos for all the controls. I'm guessing it's about 24-26 lbs.This is my first warbird. I'm hoping it flies as nice as everyone tells me it will. I haven't checked the CG yet. Any recommendations? The point where the instructions say it should be seems a bit nose heavy.
