Working on the cockpit now. Almost done. Once this is done I can get the air and electronics finished and then get the motor installed.

Here is a nice bit of kit from Jet Model Products. It is custom made for your application. It is an air manifold for the P-47. The air from the electronic valves comes to the manifold. One from the valve for the doors and one for the valve from the gear.
It then distributes the air to the lines going to the gear or doors.
Eliminates a bunch of T fittings and tidies it all up.

Two 1000ml air tanks installed. Pain in the butt trying to get arms and hands inside to do this so it is not as pretty as I would have liked.

I have finished the aileron and flap servo install and the gear main door actuators as well.


I could not resist putting a bit of flight metal on. That is scale as seen on the full size. The whole wheel well will be painted once I can roll it outside for the spraying. Not likely to happen until March,

Going to go back to the fuse and build some hatches for the electronics and pneumatic access.
I will also need a smaller hatch for the charge receptacles. Note the correct zinc chromate colour
 This one is much smaller and will only have three plug in ports for the three batteries


Work is proceeding some what slow with too many distractions but will keep moving it forward.
Electronics tray roughed in. Waiting on some components
 Gear installation

 Gear door installation  is always trial and error with patience needed.     



. One more to go .
