RE: cmp p47 thunderbolt
WOW !!! I was considering a CMP P40 72" span , now i may rethink that !
I know the Big CMP Spitfire was reported to fly very good as well as the hellcat .
Its sounds like weight is a factor considering the P47 is usually a good desing .
It also sounds like there could be a "factory" alignmeny problem, what I am suggestng is that possibly the wing is off slighty or stab , do you recall in the assembly process if they were right on the mark as far as alligment .
I am putting together a VQ P40 and I can tell you the wing mounting holes if simply as is would set the allignment off .
