There are only 2 flying Razorback P-47 Thunderbolts out of 9 airworthy examples existing. They are Curtiss built P-47Gs which were only used domestically for training and never saw combat. One is owned by Planes of Fame in Chino, CA the other by The Imperial War Museum in Duxford, England. The latter is being extensively rebuilt.
i am building the 60 size kit, and using robart 606 retracts, i noticed you didnt have the shaped wooden side things that go on the retracts, is it really worth it to cut that out or do most people just put that on if they are using fixed gear. im thinking about just having the wire showing
@rcmag1000 yeah, i have been working on mine for 6 months, i havent built/covered a plane in 6 years, i mean its still gonna look great but not as good as professionals. im so ready to fly it.
I have an os 120 pumped engine in mine and it flys great. I flew a friends Topflite P-51 .60 size with an os 91 and it needed more power. I would reccomend using a 120 especially if you are using retracts.
Is that a 63" span? I just started building the Top Flite Gold Edition 63", and I am looking for some ideas for a scale project. Any ideas of how to go about it? I have the "Hun Hunter" in mind.
I really like that color scheme on the T-Bolt.I have the 60 size version with the same pattern and starting to build the giant scale the same.I've had most of the TOP FLITE warbird kits over the years and they all fly very docile with no bad habits.Nice job!Keep 'em flyin!!!

Typical power guy whos clueless. Most power clubs are just old men who cant fly and are so incredibly abusive their own kids wont even talk to them. I know this cause they have confided in me. Plus their negative talk was apparent. Avoid Gas clubs. They will rip you off money wise if you fly electric. Runway use was denied. AKA Thunderbird Field
another comment by this guy(realstory111) who makes blatant untrue comments. I fly Gas nitro-methonal and electric and i have not seen any abuses you speak of. better get out what beef you have in a truthful manor before making these kinds of comments.
Was this a kit or can i get it as an arf ?

Jtec for G-62 I had to mount the engine a few degrees from straight up and down to get it to fit without hacking the cowling up. But it works fine.

If you fly it all of the time like i do, the are hard to keep on but they do look more scale.

@aviationclayton If i were you I'd put a saito 125 in it, cause I have a hanger 9 p-51 that is 65" and it has a saito 125.
the 125 is lighter than a 120 .

what about all silver with only the A/F insignia on it and tell everybody it's the XP-47? That would be sweet and different.

Are there any actual B-series P-47's left? I would hate for models to be the only thing left for razorback planes...
metallicastarwarsfan 2 years ago
There were Razor backs all the way into the early D models... I dont know if there are any of the Bs left. The more the merrier I say!
