Default RE: Modeltech P-47 ARF

I have mine here in the "My Models" icon. I've had it a couple years. (Pre Monokote) I installed a OS 1.08 in it and lowered the fuel tank to avoid any problems. Runs real good and a nice flying plane. The covering is okay. Does not take heat very well and melts up easy. Some here have replaced the retracts with better ones.

However with my 1.08 up front , it still came out tail heavy which is something you need to keep an eye on. Beef up the firewall inside and out a bit and around the retract mounting blocks and should be fine. I recover most everything I have and I'm sure the P-47 will get a new kote when its time.
