Help...control throws for a TF .60 size P-47?
 

I dug my old p-47 out of the moth balls today and installed a new 2.4GHz radio, I was wondering if someone could give me the control throws including flaps because I forgot to measure them before I removed the old RX and my manual is long gone...thanks for your help.

AHHH thanks buddy! Does it say anything about mixing flaps with elevator? Maybe I'll get a picture of the old girl for you tomorrow.

You will both be fine, it's a great flying bird! - John.

Thats one of the reasons I bought this kit!.. What's she powered by?.. fine work on the details!!.. mine is a go between a scale job and a fun flier.. a little here and there and practicality..

Thanks Kirby, she's about 13 years old now. Magnum 108 2 stroke for power. Good luck with yours. John.

I flew my P-47 yesterday, first time it's been in the air in about 5 years, everything went fine as hoped. Still have some questions about programming the Futaba 8FG raido. Boomerang-Do you have any close ups of your bomb racks and drop tank rack? Yours looks awesome in the picture!

RE: Help...control throws for a TF .60 size P-47?
 

Here's the photos you wanted. The bombs used to be droppable but after a crash & repairs I left them off.

The tank is released by a mini servo pulling a piece of nyrod. The 4 dowels keep the tank steady on the belly of the model. - John.

Well done Boomerang! I always had my trop tank release on just never decided on a way to stabilize it during flight so I never used.

Here is a couple pictures of the old girl.

I am thinking about this plane for my next build and would like some engine suggestions that fit inside the cowling and still provide plenty of power. Thanks for your help . I currently have a OS FS-61 four stroke and an OS max FX -91, would either of these engines work?

RE: Help...control throws for a TF .60 size P-47?
 

FX 91 for sure, I think the 61 four stroke is not enough power. I clocked my jug at 91 mph with a OS 91 Surpass, verticle is ok but certainly not unlimited, thinking about a gas upgrade.

I have a DLE 20cc for mine.. looks like it will cowl in completely and only will need a hole for the exhaust tip

RE: Help...control throws for a TF .60 size P-47?
 

If I do the switch that's what I will go with. I think it would look cool in the air with a bigger prop arc also.

I mostly hate Glow fuel cleanup and I like the $3.75/gal vs the $25/gal.. plus my dad's 20 pulls for days..
