Default RE: H9 60 Size P-47 Thunderbolt-Build & Flying

Well I guess Hanger 9 got the size wrong! It's printed on the box 72-100 four stroke. I had this same Satio 72 on a Great Planes Cub and it would pull it straight up about 100 feet from take off before needing to level out. To fly scale it would take off and climb and cruise on 1/3 throttle. The GP Cub has an 81" wing span and weighs 7-9 lbs. One person that has used the Satio 100 on other models like the H9 Corsair said it gives it unlimited performance. I am not planing on hovering my P-47 inches off the ground. I have no use for that kind of flying. As far as the tail heavy situation here in a couple hours I hope to find out.
