Modeltech P-47 Razorback 60-90 ARF
Well, the brown airplane truck showed up today but unfortunately I was headed out the door for work. I went ahead and took a quick look inside. This plane is covered very well with not a single wrinkle or bubble.
The tail surfaces are either fully sheeted with thick balsa or made from a solid block. They are very tough and hefty. In fact the entire plane looks well built. The rear hatch for the steerable tail wheel looks large enough for the small robart retract to fit.
Wings looked to be good also.
The cowl and belly pan are made from somewhat stout(compared to others)fiberglass. The cowl looks like it might completely enclose a saito 100 but we'll see. Also includes a thick manual. About the only thing I didn't like was the sight a hot melt glue. So I would think it would be wise to go over it with ca.
This is just what I noticed after tearing through the box quickly before having to leave. I will go over it more tomorrow and post some pics along with a few of assembly as I go along. First impression of weight; looks as if it may hit the 8lb mark easily. Saito 120 may be a better choice.
I will weigh everything included in the box on my digital postal scale and let you know.
