RE: TF GS P-47 Engine Selection
most likely will require a little nose weight but with placement of battery packs and the heavy ABS/glass reinforced cowl I think it will be minimal. I am being frugal with primer and top coat paint in the tail area but wish I had done a bit of dremeling in the tail [:@]! always wiser in retrospect
Mine will have 4 battery packs, 2 x 1700 6v nicads for RX, 1 x 1400 6v nicad for ignition, 1 x 1100 4.8v for landing and nav lights. So lots of weight I can shove right into the front behind the firewall.
Glad I could inspire you to get into it. I went for the DA mainly because it is so smooth compared to the G62 and as the structure on the TF kits is a little lacking I thought it might help it's longevity.
cheers
