Default RE: choosing engine size

ORIGINAL: Dave trimmer

i Have a p47 with aproximately 6 foot wing span i will send pictures later but any idea how big of an engine do you think i will need

thanks dave trimmer
Dave,

If you are a beginner, please don't put any engine in the Jug yet. You will need at least to have mastered a high wing trainer, and have a couple of sport models under your belt before flying that Heavy Metal 47. Trust me, and I'm not trying to rain on your parade by saying that. It is NOT a model for a low time R/C pilot. I think that your 47 will probably need something like the G-38 gas engine, or even the ZDZ 40 Gasser to fly correctly. But if you are not an accomplished R/C pilot, please think about a different model for starting out.
