Warbird Pilots Please Vote (TF Giant Kits pole #1)

Uncle Heinkel:

I just finished a TF Spitfire, and you are correct in that TF took liberties with the LG placement in the name of ground handling. Two things, they angled the struts out to far, and...

.61 two stroke really enough for a TF warbird?

I have flown the P-47 and the FW190 with .61's and it flew them just fine.

My FW190 is glassed and painted, with retracts, and 9.1 lbs. Flies great with the .61.

My Spitfire is glassed and...

EZ Zero Decals

Hi Scott:

It's been a few years, so I went and looked at mine. One of the decals, no 4 I believe (shorter one), I put on the trailing edge of the flap next to the fuse (like a "no step" warning)....

Yep, sounds heavy.

My TF 60" span Sport Scale Spitfire, which has a reputation for building heavy (I don't necessarily agree), is 8.9 lbs fully ready to go. This includes almost a pound of nose...

Pictures are being added Now I would mention T.F. Spitfire MKIX underway

I assume you are talking about the TF Spitfire?

If so, keep the tail light! Most of us have had to add close to a pound of nose weight. Use the lightest wood for tail sheeting.

Advice on plans-building

I have just started the Ziroli 70" P-47, and is my first plans build. All my other warbirds have been kits (TF, Yellow AC).

Good job on your Spitfire! Too bad we are not close enough to fly in formation.

Your weight of 8.5 lbs sounds about right, considering no retracts. Mine is 8.9 lbs with retracts and...

No fear, the OS .61 FX is plenty of engine for the Fw190. See my post above. I can cut up the sky, fly it way over scale, and have power to spare when I need it. Fly-by's are fast, and at the field...

I second Wulfman, he is right on. I also built the TF FW190, and built it sport scale (see my gallery). I used the CJ retracts, and they do not fold completely in the wing. My wheel covers are just...

Sounds like we went through the same process on color selection. The more I look at my Spit and compare to the pics I have, the more the colors may be about right for the P-47 camo.

No, I took a shortcut and used the kit decals. They look more painted on because they are applied over the first gloss clear (sticks really well this way), and then sealed with the final flat...
