The P51 and P47 have dihedral in the wings. It's the amount of movement in degrees the gear moves from fully up to fully down. What does that mean? Whats the difference between between the 90 and the 85? (besides one being 5 degrees more than the other!) Is it that the struts iin the 85 degree ones are ''bent in'' 5 degrees more in the locked position whereas the 90 degree ones are straight (90 degrees to the wing) in the down position ? įor instance in the first post John wrote :Ĩ5° main units for you P-51, P-47 guys out there'' I'm new to retracts and am somewhat cinfused as to what the various types ''in degrees'' mean. The mechanism might be a little light for a 10-12 pound airplane though, you'll want to make sure the gear lock down before you land. Overall they look pretty good for the money, I'm glad I got them. I might try to find a way to support the motor wires better before I use them. But it looks like it's there for insulation of the solder joint and not stress relief, so the wire might be prone to breaking there over time. Where the motor wires are attached they're potted with some RTV. I think this all means that you'll have to make sure your gear doesn't bind on anything and definitely make sure they're locked down before you land. Also, since the brass pin hits a limit switch, it doesn't let the pin seat all the way to the end of the W cutout. The jack screw is a little light too, looks to be the size of a 4-40 screw. I was surprised that the brass slider hits limit switches to shut off, so I'm wondering if that means it doesn't have a current limit shut off. The trunion looks typical size, but the brass slider pin looks to be a bit thinner than most retracts, but I didn't measure it. The side rails are machined out of 3/32 angle stock and look strong enough. The trunion is brass bushed with no wobble. The machining and workmanship look top notch. If you like RC Warbirds, the 1500mm P-47 is a typical one that you cannot miss.I got the 60-120 size. The new P-47 is far more than a RC model, it is a great new addition to your RC Warbirds collection. To complete installing the main wing set simply inserting the wing port into the fuselage half, then fixing the wing with four screws. All channels on each wing are brought together in a fuselage to wing port. The P-47 has a lot of new customer-friendly features based on easy of assembly and transportation by eliminating the wiring problems.
3DLABPRINT P47 RETRACT STRUT UPGRADE
The 2016 FMS electric retract gets a commendable upgrade on both appearance and performance. Furthermore, this 1500mm P-47 adopts the latest 2016 FMS electric retract. All servos are now metal gear digital servos. The new 4258 KV460 motor coupled with our Predator high quality 70A ESC completes a stronger more powerful system. The control horn now adopts the new ball link design which helps provide a more accurate flight. The new CNC processed shock-absorbed front landing gear effectively helps to withstand those less than perfect landings. Additional structural changes include the lighter and larger EPO 52 foam, this change alleviates the airplane weight for an impressive flight performance, without weakening the airplane strength. The water-based paint is environmental-friendly, and is designed to protect the foam parts under any condition. The original oil paint has been replaced by the latest environmental water-based paint. The new P-47 shows great detail by including 99% scaled control surface, landing gear cover, cockpit interiors, plastic cowling, gun turrets, retracted landing gear, and panel lines. After two-years of numerous flying tests and continuous improvements, the eagerly anticipated 1500mm P-47, is coming! The 1500mm P-47 features many new and innovative features over the original 1400mm P-47.
