Ziroli 92" p-47

[Raven]

hi everyone,

I am currently in the process of building a ziroli p-47 and am looking to find out if anyone has installed a twin cylinder engine on this bird. I want the biggest engine i can fit without having anything protruding out the sides of the cowl. For those that have built this bird, what engines have you installed?

build pics? you can't tease the build and deny us pics!

razorback or bubble canopy?

I would think great answers to this question would come from rc scale builders members. Maybe the Zenoah gt-80?

Here you go Bartman, this is the progress thus far. I am building the razorback version and it will be a semi-scale build. I chose not to do the scale hinge points for this build as i just wanted to build it and have it ready for spring. This is my first kit build.

After doing a bit of research, it looks like the only twin that would fit is the zenoah gt80. HP wise, it only puts out 6 hp, right inline with a 60 cc, so i am now thinking about a DA 85 single, but that will be the last thing to do so i have some time to figure it out

Da, zdz and a few other's have some inline engines around the 100cc mark. Nothing wrong with the gt80. Can't always rely on hp numbers.

3W does an inline 110 that is a cool option for warbirds.

 

[Raven]

Thanks for the leads on the inlines, might be a viable option.

A few more pics of the build so far. Have yet to decide on an engine, but that will be the last thing i put on it. Robart mains and tail with U.P.3 for gear and doors.
