RE: cmp p47 thunderbolt
Ok, just got back from the field today and added another 20 minutes of flight time to my p47. I think I have gotten it as good as its going to get. It is now fairly stable and predictable in normal flight, I can make it look like a good flier unless I try doing any aerobatics. When the engine is cut back to idle it flies about as well as a brick with butterfly wings attached to it. With my engine/muffler set up the plane is pretty slow, I would recommend putting a larger engine than the recommended 40 size since nose weight is required anyways. The larger engine would help in two ways, more power and a larger prop that would stick out past the cowling more than my 11x6 prop does. Anyways I just wanted to revise my previous review I dont think this plane is a terrible flyer anymore, just very mediocre.
