RE: New 81" P-47 ARF coming from Hangar 9
Top Flite was right after them on the big P-51 and I would assume it would be the same for this plane. If they arent, they are going to miss out on some serious cash. Honestly, looking at the instruction manual, the retracts look pretty beefy. After loading the area with epoxy and securing the retracts with some more backing blocks in the wing they look like they should work.
If you can build a kit that big, cover it, and supply what look to be pretty decent retracts for less than 600 bucks....... go for it. I work for a living and have a young baby at home. I couldnt build that plane in a million years of evenings.
Hangar 9 can have my money.
