Thanks! Chatted with Matt Andren on one of the forums and he said he thought the spit flies a touch better than the JUG. Wish it had flaps though. Figured I would fly the heck out of this one now and by Christmas I could buy the spit airframe and put all the jug components in it since it is practically the same bird on the inside anyway. Somehow I got a feeling I will figure out a way to come up with the extra bucks and have both of those birds in my hangar!

Definitely! My LHS used to carry enough props since the same one is used on the T-28 and Corsair, but lately they're slacking so I've had to order 5 at a time due to "parking lot grinding" during noseovers.

BTW, building a second D model with a Power 25 with a 60A ESC, flaps and a APC 10x6 4 blader. This should be fun. Anybody that's done this, I'm waiting for tips. |

My landings with the Jug have improved greatly with flaps. |

Crawl?
Moonbeam,
Mine lands very scale like. Certainly controllable, but requires concentration. No way would I call it "just above a crawl." You do have the wieght of retracts, so what might be differant? Where is your actual CG on this plane? Are your landings slower than these? BTW, I very very seldom nose over. I Put washers under the rear of my gear and make sure I am not nose heavy. Of course, in grass it would nose over.

Well Gents,,
I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods ,but the heat down this way is just absolutely out of hand ! Just thick,humid ,superheated air. At least there's no breeze off the sound today The good news is I was able to catch up on this thread and watch all the videos everyone posted...great stuff guys, thanks for sharing. Hope someone is able to take their Jug up today... ~ grounded |

It's hot as blazes here in the DFW area too. It's been 100+ for several days in a row with no end in sight. The wind has been fairly good for flying but, the heat index has been hovering around 110 F. Too hot for this old fudd. Dag nabit.
I've said it before and will repeat it here. The PZ P-47 is the best flying plane I've ever flown. The designer and builder deserve applause for this one. It's powerful, graceful, predictable, and beautiful ...all in one package. It's almost boring to fly ....goes exactly where you point it and no bad habits. It flies so well I'm wondering if there is an aerobatic competition class it might qualify for? It does all of the maneuvers extremely well ....uh, providing the pilot is up to it (wish I were). I have many other planes, some bigger and some smaller, some with props and some without but, this P-47 is so relaxing to fly ....it's a real confidence builder. RJ |

I use 70% for ailerons, and 90-100% on the elevator and rudder. I always want to be able to climb out of a problem quicker than anything else, but the 70% on the ailerons make it a smooth and very scale like flight.

If you check the manual for the P-47 they list the throws.
If I recall correctly they are... 15mm (Take off position) 25mm (Landing position) If you have something like a DX8, you have a two position flap switch and shouldn't have a problem adjusting both to be pretty close to the book numbers. |
