Thought some people may enjoy seeing some photos of my completed Top Flite P47 model. Something I was doing before I got into FPV. It took 5 years on and off to build, and isn't exactly the normal type of plane shown on this site - but may be of interest to some. It is my first kit build and heavily modified from the original, with many scale details added inlcuding:
- Electric convertion
- Razorback to bubbletop converstion
- Retracts moved to the scale location
- Scale retract doors designed and made
- Retractable tailwheel
- Glassed and fully panel lined and riveted to scale locations
- Working drop tank release
It hasn't flown yet, as I am waiting until I finish my thesis before I reward (or possibly punish) myself with the maiden.
The build thread is here is anyone wants to see the detail. Pictures below...
