As much as I love you guys' P-47's, I DO have to point out that "Real" jugs have round engines!!!

They also have pointy things. At least the nice ones do.



How is your corsair coming?

Corsair is Ken's, I have the P-47. P-47 has been on hold due to lack of time and workshop space.



My oldest is off to Nebraska for University in a week and that frees up the whole basement for "workshop" space! Ken and I spoke at Huckfest and are both committed to finish them up this winter, and plan a joint maiden next year, possibly at Wenatchee. I just need to get the gear doors mounted and sequenced, install the cockpit kit and sliding canopy, install throttle and choke servos, then I can disassemble it all, and get it ready for paint and other scale details.



Just met another local who was flying at our field this weekend. He had a Moki 250 in a Pilot Yak. He said it was just the testbed for the Moki, he plans to install it in a big FW 190!!! The three of us will definitely have to get together with these three birds and do some WWII flights!

I hope I can swing Wenatchee next year. I'd love to be there for the maiden.

Speaking of P47's here is one a friend of mine built and a couple of pics from the maiden flight without the gear doors on. It is a Meister I believe.

I saw a Meister Corsair fly over the wekend with a DA85. It was fast and flew great. The muffler was horrible sounding but if I had that plane I could fix it.

Tom,

Your planes are always top shelf...I only wish I had the time or skill to build like you and Terry.

Thanks for the props on my Jug. It was my first scale build and looks pretty good for it being the first. I hope to have my job situation, situated soon so I can take the time and $$ to repair my hangar damage.



I'll post some of the build pics later this week

Thanks. I just build kits and Terry Scratch builds. There is a big difference there. I'm a big Terry fan.

Awesome planes Tseres I loved watching them take shape of on that site that shall not be mentioned.
