Mick Green’s Top Flite GS P-47 ARF

by Mick Green
 
This one is powered by a Saito FG-60R3. Model is complete and has two tanks of fuel through it. Needs a few more and then it will be ready for certification. Photos show baffling to ensure adequate cooling of the motor, addition of functional doors for the tail wheel, pilot and gunsight, internal layout (25 pin plug for single point wing connection visible at bottom of pic) and first ground run.
