Default RE: cmp p47 thunderbolt

I have tried pretty much everything I can think of, I never come close to using up a bettery in one day of flight so dont think that would help. I am going to take your suggestion on the wheels, the plane came stock with the heavy duty rubber style wheels so I think I can save a bit there.

The total damage is 6.2lbs total weight ready to fly minus fuel.

I have a total of about 3/4lbs of lead in the nose.

I think 6.2lbs flight weight isnt too totally bad for a .46 engine 55" wingspan model, what do you think?

Planning on giving it another flight test on monday, so I will see how it goes.
