Test Flight Tomorrow...
Hi All!
I wanted to show you-all a photo of my new Model Tech P-47 ARF that was just completed. I has a Saito 91 for power and is guided by a Futaba 9CAFS radio. The tail feathers were stripped of the original covering, then covered with white Monokote and red Monokote stripes were added. I drew the graphics in Corel Draw and a local company printed & cut them out for me.
With a little extra work, an ARF can be made to look different than everyone else's without loosing the great flying characteristics...
The test flight is tomorrow...wish me luck!!!

Very nice. Retracts or fixed gear? On mine, I put some wide black stripes on the landing gear covers and mine will definitely not be called "Bonnie".

Hi All,
Well, after repairing an onboard glow driver that didn't want to work at the field (the ground wire had become disconnected), the Siato 91 fired up and it was off to the "Wild Blue Yonder"! Teh Jug needed about three clicks of left ailerons and three clicks of up elevator in order to fly straight & level.
What fun!
Next week-end, I will be flying the "Arizona Jake" in formation with the "Rabid Rat" P-47 that belongs to a friend of mine.
Auropilot:
I installed the retracts and used a Hitec low profile retract servo to make the Up & Down action work. It seems to move them fine and not too quickly.
