RE: Realistic Expectations to build a big P47...
I have built about a dozen kits and feel confident I could do it. Under 300 hours, but closer to 200 would be perfect. That is WAY less time than I thought. I just love the big ones, but am afraid of the runway. Would 200 feet really be long enough? There is about another 50 feet of grass on each side, but then a short fence after that 50 feet.
I have had enough kits for now, and can buy more of those. I want a longer term building project that just doesn't take forever. So, any of these would be good for time, as it sounds like. I am not too big on foam or fiberglass, and would want a built up balsa one. I am surprised to hear I could put a ziroli kit together faster than a TF one....
Thanks for the help everyone. I'll figure out what to do sooner or later!
