PKZ P-47 Thunderbolt...OMG

[19000rpm]

PKZ has done it again with the new "JUG". Another iconic WWII plane for all the fans, me included, that wanted it in a foam parkflyer.

And this time around they're giving us retracts and flap option add ons. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.

These guys are doing amazing things!
That new Jug is perfect sounding!
Now if they could go back and rework all the other warbirds to be the same scale and have these new features!
It would be more awesome to have a fleet of these birds then!

That would be nice if they scaled stuff the same, but they say that's difficult to get the power and flying characteristics they are looking for...

I saw one on Monday and it was looking very good. Eventually, one of these will find a way into my hangar. I don't think a 15 is going to cut it though.

How close are you to having ALL the famous WW2 warbirds, 19k? Seems to me that you're about 8 or 9 at this point. Either you have a very large den/garage or I can see an addition to the house very soon.

Actually, I have/had the Spit, P-51 and Corsair in several versions of each. I don't have the BF109 or the Trojan although I've flown both. I'm looking forward to getting the Jug sometime this spring.

I live in a condo...My wife is kind enough to let me hang them everywhere and our SUV is a rolling hangar. I think I may need to rent a storage unit this year and set up a shop in it.

I'm not going to buy another house. I like my time to play with my planes and boat. Let the maintenance people plow the snow and tend the grounds. I love the freedom.
