Easy Tiger models actually offers a larger version that would be better.

Cool. Thanks for the info. I'll check those out too.

Well, my friend @iahawkflyer has been giving me static constantly about my two year old P-47 ARF "build" project that is done nothing but sit....... Even @thelaw chimed in tonight saying that I probably have a new CRAP-72 enine in my P-47!

So, I buy this Ziroli AT-6 that is built and "RTF" less RX this spring and haul it home. What I paid for it did not even cover the retracts and aluminum wheels so I'm not out anything. We'll, it's collected dust for over four months now and honestly I have not even looked at it, never even took the mid wing section off to see what's in it for servos.

Well, Tony started talking to me the other day and got me all amped up to take a look at this old bird. It has some strange things in it that I'm not used to like servos the size of a Kleenex box.....WTF? Well, everything seems to be in working order, just needs a few things tightened up, a few servo keepers and test out this engine in the next week or so. It's a G-62 with CH Electronic ignition, a huge canister and a Harley style header. Should be sweet!

We'll see how things go this week, I have two weeks to get this baby ready for maiden in Ottumwa IA wounded warrior event

I like it! But, our friends up north might be insulted calling it a T-6 and not a Harvard since it's in a Canuk scheme and all.

I had the pleasure of getting up close to four of them a few weeks ago. They were parked right in front of my trailer and then later they fired up to leave and all of them had to stop and say "Hi" on the way by, as seen in the pic.

I'm kinda dumb when it comes to warbirds. I know the main ones but not all the variants. The paint is bad on mine but it looks 50 years old so It's kinda starting to grow on me. The gas that was in it was about enough to make me puke so I got that out, I think they built the plane around the fuel tank so that's actually the biggest hurtle, I'm going to look at that shortly.

Terry....leave the old paint, it makes it look that much more realistic!

I like it Terry. Whats the wingspan on it. I would love to build a scaled out Texan. Just think it would be badass with a smoke system pouring smoke out of a scale exhaust location.

Not a bad looking bird!! Good buy!

I agree.
Get it mechanically as sound as possible. Then fly the chit outta it.
