Joe,
Sorry I didn't responded sooner,the short version I've haven't yet,alot of family issues kept me for flying much at all last year.On a happier note things are looking good for 2017 and I plan on flying her this spring. Cheers Rich

I also have one I could scan, no charge. let me know

Thanks Guys,

NCRC was very kind and sent me the files.

proteus-x3,

Thanks, Keep us posted once you fly it in the spring. There is a fair amount of CG info in this thread, however, it's hard to tell how people are actually balancing the F6F. Some wheels down, some wheels up at various points but it's hard to tell how and where people ended up. With rotating retracts I'd hate to get it wrong.

I know it's a great flying plane and need a solid CG to recommend for success.

Joe

one gear up and one down...
 

Short answer upside down one gear up and the other stowed.since the gear moves aft and chances the C.G. this is the best way. herer read from post #533 http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/rc-w...erhood-22.html Cheers: Rich

I finally got mine in the air the other day after a three year delay. I recently found a set of Century Jet retracts that allowed me to finish the plane and maiden it. It still needs a lot of cosmetic work, but I'm glad that it appears to be a pretty decent flying warbird and should be worth cleaning up. A fresh paint job, some Callie graphics and a few pieces from Mr. Veich (hopefully) and it might come together pretty well.

I'm flying mine with a Turnigy 5065-380 motor, CastleTalon 90 esc, 6s 5000 lipo and a 17 x 8 prop. I'm still trying to get it dialed in, haven't tried the flaps yet and looking forward to seeing if they can help slow my landing approaches a bit...

Just a quick question, I picked one of these up from an estate sale, while it was mostly complete it is missing some key pieces. It is missing both elevators, the rudder and the flaps. Can someone point me in the direction of someplace where I can get the size balsa I need to be able to cut the control surfaces out in 1 piece, I have bad thoughts of an elevator that is pieced together breaking mid flight. The widest I can find locally is 3" wide, but that is in no way wide enough to make the elevators. Any help is very much appreciated.

Elevators
 

The original ones are stick built, just make sure the joints are tight and it will be fine. You can always sheet them if you are worried about your work.

C m p hellcat

Anyone know were i can get a hellcat or p47??? Even buy a built modle

Thanks

I have gotten the control surfaces taken care of now but have a couple more questions. Would someone be able to tell me the measurement from the prop washer to the firewall please. I know it is probably someplace in this post, but have not found it yet, where is the CG balance point for this plane? Thank yall in advance for the information.
John

The manual says 160 mm for the firewall to the thrust washer and the CG is 120 to 135 MM from the leading edge of the wing.

Here is mine
