Default RE: cmp p47 thunderbolt

Hi Guys,
I really think this airplane has an Aft CG it sounds like it.
I just sold my CMP P-47 with 3 years and tons of flights and it flew like a dream. I had to add 12 .oz of lead to the nose. The elevator is very sensitive as it is on any warbird, because it is large and has a short fuselage. it just takes a light thumb. also I flew mine on an O.S. .46 FX with a 12x6 master airscrew. this combo worked great. Just keep it a bit rich. this Model is not a sport plane it has to be flown accordingly, and is a good trainer for the TF Warbirds.
anyhoo just my $.02
