Die Sea Fury von Topflite als Reno Racer im Riff Raff Design

powered by a Saito 100, enough power for now,
the total weight is now 5.5kg, I have about 300gr lead and the batteries over the engine. I set the CG with retracted gears, but now I read it should be adjusted with gear out, I guess I can remove 50 to 100gr.
could install a heavier engine because the plane is tailheavy wihout weight in the nose.
have Robart retracts and flaps
Plane is fully covered with glas and resin, filler and car-paint.

Top Flite P-47D-23 Razorback im Beuteflugzeug Design P-47D-16-RE T9+LK, Gettingen, May 1945

P-47D coded T9+LK was recaptured by US troops in Gottingen in 1944 when the Germans were forced to make a rapid withdrawal to Bad Worlshofen. The Germans had to leave T9+LK behind because of mechanical problems. T9+LK may have been the Luftwaffe P-47 which flew several reconnaissance missions over England just before the D-Day invasion.
