RE: Engine for Hangar 9 60 size P-47
balsabandit,
From one old geezer to another.........you'll love this plane. I was going gangbusters on mine and then some family emergencies waylayed me. I 'm back on it now and hope to have it in the air this spring. I'm using a SuperTigre G75 with in-cowl muffler and header. Had to get a bit creative because this same setup is designed for the Top Flite P47 but does not fit just right in this ARF. With some copper fittings from the local plumbing shop I fashioned a pretty darn nice exhaust system and it will all be within the cowl. I agree with Old Navy Flyer though.....the OS91FS would be a good match. That is the motor I'm using in my H9 AT6 and it works great. I'm also moving the servos from the tail into the main cavity in the fuselage and that should eliminate some of the weight that I read about that has to go into the nose........that and the copper manifold should help me balance out just right.
Cheers,
Andy
