SilentGun Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 Nice photo! Where did you get it? (Just imo I like the P-47 without the bubble canopy as it makes it look more like the tank it was. Anyone else feel that way?)

Crumpp Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Awesome share Crumpp! My first time ever seeing these dive recovery flaps deployed! I know they are called dive recovery, I just quoted the site. "Late in 1943, a few hundred dive flap field modification kits were assembled to give North African, European and Pacific P-38s a chance to withstand compressibility and expand their combat tactics. Unfortunately, these crucial flaps did not always reach their destination. In March 1944, 200 dive flap kits intended for European Theater of Operations (ETO) P-38Js were destroyed in a mistaken identification incident in which an RAF fighter shot down the Douglas C-54 Skymaster (mistaking it for an Fw 200) taking the shipment to England. Back in Burbank, P-38Js coming off the assembly line in spring 1944 were towed out to the tarmac and modified in the open air. The flaps were finally incorporated into the production line in June 1944 on the last 210 P-38Js. Despite testing having proved the dive flaps effective in improving tactical maneuvers, a 14-month delay in production limited their implementation, with only the final 50% of all Lightnings built having the dive flaps installed as an assembly-line sequence" Ahhhh, I can't wait any longer for the P-47, I'm going crazy! Nice images. Learned a little. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the P-47 myself. Was sad to see it delayed. :( Answers to most important questions ATC can ask that every pilot should memorize: 1. No, I do not have a pen. 2.

Echo38 Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Barrett, what's that model? I've been looking at various RC P-47s for a few years, but there's always something wrong with each one. Either the tailwheel doesn't retract, or the main gear isn't to scale, or there are no rivet/panel lines, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrett_g Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Barrett, what's that model? I've been looking at various RC P-47s for a few years, but there's always something wrong with each one. Either the tailwheel doesn't retract, or the main gear isn't to scale, or there are no rivet/panel lines, or something. This is the Eflite UMX P-47. It's about the smallest P-47 on the market. It's pretty detailed for a small plane. The gear don't retract, but are removable. I'd also suggest the other Eflite P-47.... I think it's got a wingspan of 42 or 44 inches... Can't remember off the top of my head. It's considered a "park flyer" sized plane. It comes with flaps and retracts... Though the tail wheel doesn't. It's flight characteristics more than make up for that though... It's probably the best flying P-47 on the market... It flys like its on rails. I can point it in a specific direction, take my thumbs off the sticks and it flies straight and true. I modded mine to have a retractable tail wheel and a bigger engine... But I crashed it and I'm in the process of rebuilding it... Don't show boat when your only a couple feet off the ground!!! Lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nervousenergy Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 But I crashed it and I'm in the process of rebuilding it... Don't show boat when your only a couple feet off the ground!!! Lol! I don't fly RC planes, but I've said this EXACT same phrase mentally more than a few times with my helis. :cry: It's not the expense of the repair... my X3 is build like a tank, and the collection of smaller HH Blade copters use very cheap components that I've usually got several spares of at any one time. It's the bench time. I love building scale plastic models, and building RC models prior to maiden or for upgrades, but for some reason I just dread repairing them even though it's the same process.

Krupi Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 I believe that it is now coming out after the Spitfire IX (which hopefully will be with us this year) so I imagine earlier next year for the P-47...

I'm going to take a long shot guess here and say it has something to do with availability of aircraft.

Solty Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I would say that proper engine and turbo simulation were probably the issue.

DSR_T-800 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 That actually does make sense know that I think about it. The data on the Mustang's engine is probably greatly benefiting Spitfire's development. At latest I hope we see the Spitfire and P-47 in game around the summer of 2016. http://i.imgur.com/LYvIQFB.gifv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmertz Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Going way back on this thread, agree with the OP. Seems the Jug takes a backseat to most other aircraft in WW2, however the P-47D I have a great fondness for. Too bad no recent news of development on it, but getting the new theater out is just as important and I hope this is continuing. Also, unlike probably most here, like the P-47, it seems the ol' B-24 always is overshadowed by the tail dragging B-17. If the Europe '44 theater was out and the B-24 was released as a personal aircraft I really think this would be my "go to" aircraft for WW2 along with the Jug. What others would consider boring I would find challenging while watching the missions completed emblems start piling up on the fuselage while maintaining a high percentage of bombing hits on targets. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the thread but figured while we were on the subject of overlooked aircraft... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadHunter52 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'll take the P-40 as soon as it comes out - already bought. I'll shell out for the Spit, too. But my preferred ride will be the Jug. And like you, I'll go for an American bomber - any of them.
