U going to the electrons flyin Saturday or taking your Bird to the
War Birds and Classic In St Charles Ill. Friday looks good but






Yes, that was Tom Kunath. He will be flying the Jug again on Saturday. Tom flies Snoopy to my Red Baron.
Our club The Flying Electrons's charity event is Sat.
Saturdays forecast for Milwaukee is:

Sunny, with a high near 74. Northeast wind 5 to 15 mph

Come fly with us.

Looking for information on a Jug I picked up in trade. I have a P-47 that I acquired from a friend it is about 69.5" WS with a fiberglass fuse. I have no idea (and can no identifying marks on the plane) who manufactured it. Any help you can give me would be great. The planes can be seen on my Flickr sitehttps://www.flickr.com/photos/pekinr...57647693320130 /I do have a couple guesses on the P-47 possible one of these two.

I give her to the new owner next week. Ziroli 70" P-47D-5-RE ish w/ a G-38 for motivation. Rx and battery ready

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2106938http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2106939http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2106940Delivered to new owner. Hope to test fly soon and will have final weight then.

Looks really nice Ed. The one I built was right around 17-17.5 pounds which seems to be about the norm. They fly great at that weight although I am a firm believer that it would not be too difficult to remove a pound or two from the design without working too hard. I think Mr. Ziroli was still stuck in the giant scale mind set when he designed this smaller model as it seems to be a lot more, shall we say "robust", then is really necessary.

TFGS P-47 kit built wings with three spare for correct gear location, Siarra gear, RTC fuselage, DLE85, ultracote brushed aluminum, aluminum tape finish, Chad Veich surface details and rivets.

Balanced without any additinal weight, dry weight 33lb

Hi LEE LEE , I also have the 1.50 P-47 Razorback , great flying warbird . What I wanted to know is if your using the orignal retracts ? If not, would you consider selling them ? meatball 1 Thanks

Finally got a chance to to fly my rejuvenated Hangar 9 150 P47 with G62 swinging a Beila 20x10 4 blade.http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2111069http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/atta...mentid=2111070

Why weren't U guys a Timmy at lake Land today? Lots of war birds and 3D to thrill the crowd.
Even Toms favorite Jet guy.

Hound Dog,

Tom went to EAA and I had to work..........................As far as Tom's (least favorite jet guy) that would be a reason for Tom not to be there!

Count me in. I have a top flight p47 razor back with a sato 100. Looks fine and runs great. I also have a park zone P 47 bubble top E P.

Old message and probably OBE, but the difference is in where you measure. The ARF measures 6 3/8 back along the edge of the fuselage. The kit measures 5 1/4 back at rib #5. They're both at the same place.

:cool:Hi Gary,
On page 54 of this thread you posted a pick of your Moki 150 with a prop hub nut that has a small extention on it. Did you have that made or did you purchase it from a vendor? By the way, I have fitted a Moki 180 in my Byron/Iron Bay T-28 Trojan.
Thanks
Craig

Been planning a build of the T/F G/S P-47 for a while now, and have a question about the flaps.
Has anyone been able to use the Robart Fowler flap hinges in this model? Does it require major mods, or will they even work?
I have a set I have been hoarding for a long time, and it's time to find a good home for them.

now that im the proud owner of 2 p 47 in wanna join .

Howdy, completed the maiden on my T-F 20cc powered Razor Back. I love this plane, totally hooked on warbirds now.
I now have GS Spitfire and Sis-T FW-190 in the works.

Hi TLH101 : aka Terry

When I built mine I don't remember them being available, but with proper pre planning I do think they would work, that said I would look into some type of liner actuator, I don't think a rotary servo even with a long arm would work.

But that is just me.

Cheers Bob T
