Default RE: New 81

I had my maiden with my P-47 150 last week. I am hopeing to get some video up in the next day or two. Going to video more tomorrow. Awesome flying plane. Had a little trouble getting used to the flaps, but tomorrow and going to keep a little more throttle in her while using the flaps. I encourage you guys to look at your axles for your wheels. The axle that runs through the wheel and into the strut is hard plastic JUNK. One of mine broke with a marginal landing. For about 6 bucks, I bought a set of axles that you can buy for fixed landing gear planes and dremeled the threads off and replaced both sides. Now I have metal (steel) axles that will hold up. Check it out on your planes when you get a chance. Hope to get some vids up soon.
