This section describes our recommendations to help you in deciding which types of accessories to purchase for your new
P-47 Thunderbolt ARF. These suggestions are not set in stone, but they should provide you with a good starting point.
SECTION 1: OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
What Engine Should I Use?
If you Want to Use a Two Stroke Engine:
If you want to use a two stroke engine, we recommend using a .61 up to a .91. A strong ball bearing .61 will fly the
airplane with good authority and result in scale speed and performance. A .91 will fly the airplane with a lot of power to
spare. Use a .91 if you plan on really decking out your model with scale details and add-ons.
If using a two stroke engine, the engine should be mounted sideways and a Pitt's Style muffler should be used to divert the
exhaust out the bottom of the cowling. You can mount the engine inverted and use a special inverted in-cowl muffler, but
inverted engines are usually more difficult to operate reliably so we don't recommend this.
If you Want to Use a Four Stroke Engine:
If you want to use a four stroke engine, we recommend using a .70 up to a .91. A strong .70 will fly the airplane with
authority and result in scale speed and performance with the great scale sound of the four stroke engine. A .91 will fly the
airplane with a lot of power to spare. Expect great vertical performance and plenty of extra power.
If you are using a four stroke engine, the engine should be mounted either sideways or inverted (if you want to keep it
hidden completely within the cowling) and the stock muffler pipe should be rotated to divert the exhaust out the bottom of
the cowling.
We don't suggest you use larger engines than we recommend. The airplane flies very good with the recommended
engines, and using a larger, heavier engine will only result in the airplane being heavier with an increased wing
loading. Airplanes with higher than necessary wing loadings tend to exhibit poor flight performance especially at
slow speeds. Be careful when adding scale details to the finished airplane. These add weight and in many
instances the weight adds up fast. Just remember that for the best flight performance the airplane should be kept
as light as possible.

If you will be flying at high altitudes we strongly suggest using engines in the upper end of the recommended range

What Servos Should I Use?
There really is no reason to go overboard on high-priced ultra-precision servos. A good standard dual ball bearing servo
with a minimum of 40 ounces of torque will work well on the flight-control surfaces and a standard bushing servo will be
good for use on the throttle. If you want to use the included retractable main gear, you will need to purchase a 180º low
profile retract servo to actuate them.
Do I Need Anything Else?
All the hardware is included in the kit, so there really isn't much more that you need. For more scale realism, a pilot
would be in order. And to make fueling easier, a fueling valve would be convenient. You'll also need a couple of
aileron extensions and a Y-harness for the aileron servos, some foam rubber to protect your receiver and battery, and
some fuel tubing. You may also want to have paint on hand to detail the canopy frame and the machine gun fairings.
