Here is some pictures of my Top Flite 1/8th scale P-47 that I just finished. Only thing left to do is install the servos and receiver and she's ready to go.

You aren't actually going to risk flying that masterpiece, are you?

Eventually I will. But I'll fly some ARF's for a while before I decide to put this one in the air.

That's beautiful! Great job!

I have a top flite p-40 powered by an O.S 90 surpass. Flies wonderfull but takeoffs are tricky.

Let's see it then!

Fantastic work, well done

Super workmanship Connery..yeah..you don't wanna' solo on this bird!!! Lotsa practice.

On another note, your photos show why only the highback Jug can be known as a Razorback,
and the highback P-51's cannot claim the same name...regardless of what some ill-informed writer tried
to coin the non-bubble models of any aircraft type.

Compare the Razorback Jug to the Arkansas feral hawg..and you'll instantly realize, the
P-51 has neither the girth...nor the spine!

I always agreed--A razorback is a hawg, not a pony!
Dude, you'd better put more prop than that on it! That thing barely stretches past the cowling

It's beautiful work. Your detailing is particularly nice- I was a little miffed at the work on the vertical stabilizer until I relized you put it there thought it was just sloppy painting at first doowp!

I'd sure like to see that thing fly one day, so make sure you have lots of ARF time before you try and taxi this one, lest you bounce it on its nose before it ever gets off the ground

Nice work, its something that I've always wanted to try but never seem to get around too.

However, I do have one question, I have only seen RC aircraft with the 2-blade prop, never 3, 4 or even 5 blades, why is this?

Here it is. Not as detailed as your p-47 but flies great.

love your choice of livery on the 47.
What size engine are you flying?

The reason is torque. The typical gas powered engines don't have enough torque to spin "scale" props fast enough to be able to fly. There have been some that have made geared adapters to enable their use, but the current focus is on electric engines as it seems that they have more torque than a similar sized gas powered engine.
