Plus one on the air retracts. The only problem I've had was the air tank spinning and tying the airline into a knot. Glued the tank down with Sho Goo and no problems since.

Sounds like a good approach.

I have seen way too many planes damaged or lost due to excess control throw, particularly pitch and roll. I always recommend a conservative approach.

Excess throw on the elevator is not a good idea. I have never needed high rates on anything on this plane except taxiing on grass.

Ditto on the factory recommendations. I fly mine entirely on low rates and only use high-rate on the elevator to taxi on the grass.

20 or 24, I don't remember. Compare dimensions or bring the old one to the hobby shop with you. In any event, I replace the tank now with any new arf assemblies.

The Dubro tank of the same capacity. I changed mine out a couple of years ago and have had no problems since. Nice photos of your P-47!

Have you calculated the estimated wing loading on the P-38? Once you have that figure, you can ballast another model to the same loading and get a feel for flying a plane so equipped.

I use the Robart restrictors on my gear. If the pressure is below 80psi, they won't lock in the up position. I usually end up at 120 psi. Oddly, the P-40 Robart gear does fine at 80 psi. Could be the...

Glad you enjoyed the video. A member of the club filmed and edited it for me. I could have done without the extras, but it was a nice effort on his part.
