Default My 1st Scale Project Finished

Hi guys,

I just finished my Top Flite P-47 1/8 scale. This is really my first scale attempt, but certainly not the last, it was lots of fun. The airplane has a YS 1.20FZ for power, one Hi-Tech 655MG, three JR 811's, and four Airtronic standard servos. Radio is a JR XP8047. Retracts are Robart with Robostruts.

Hope you like it, let me know what you think!
Happy flying.

Falconwings, Nice job on the 47. You will love flying it, it is one of the most enjoyable warbirds to fly. Did you cover it with monokote?

No, I fiberglassed it with Minwax Polycrylic, then painted it using Acrylic Laquer (Plasti-cote, from Pep Boys), then fuel proofed with Top Flite Lusterkote Clear.

Im glad you liked it.

Default Nice!

Nice job on the P-47! It should do real well with the YS for power.

Bring it over to the Warbird next month.

Hi Rex,

This is the one I talked to you about when I met you over at Roy's. it's finally finished. The YS 120 is giving me problems though, good idle, good mid-range, but it starves at top end. I disasembled the carb and supercharger, but everything looks OK.

Im glad you liked it!

Default YS

Try giving Dave Shadel all your info on the YS Support Forum.

http://rcuniverse.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=156

Dave offers some good assistance. Let him know what fuel, prop, plug (etc, etc) you are using. Tell him what you have tried up until now. I'd bet he will have some ideas.

If the weather settles down, we should get together and do some flying.
