Default RE: modeltech maiden flight

belive me, it is the modeltech P-47 ... with a lot of mod.

the gun barrel are not from the box, because the vacuform ones looks not so good. I replaced with the plactic guide of a pushrod set, and then silver painted.

the engine is a magnum 1.20 4s. the maiden and the second flight were done with a 16x8, but with that it is not fast . probably with a 15 apc may be better.

the wing looks different because I cutted a "like" scale wheels bay, and I removed the covering and used monokote to reproduce a museum warbirds. the b&w stripes come from selfadesive matt pvc.

there are another pair of place with construction picture here and there.

there are no in flight picture yet, because I was so excited for the first take off, that I forgot to take that. next time.

on last landing, she soffered a little damage on gear rails due to my bad landing: too slow and not "soft" enought, but I already repaired it and she is ready to fly again.
