The Handegard P-47

Post by Don Holmes »

The Handegard P-47

It flies like a dream. This weekend we did some 2948 Demos at the Street Brawl as we came up short on aircraft. But 2 flew flawlessly. The P-47 put thru the paces of aerial combat with one of the nations top pilots. You can see in the photo my P-47 carrying a streamer it just took from Montague.
The P-47 was a big hit and no one could believe I was flying it with an ASP .25A

Nice Job Don, looks good! Better watch your six Kirk! Too bad more guys don't get with it and build for scale. They are missing out on some of the best combat around!

Well Chris. The cat is out of the bag, Don Grissom told everyone about the Avery by Calon.
All though I have a sign shop full of Gerber by 3M, and on the P-47 I used the metallic. On the wing one piece top and one piece bottom; the fuse in 3 sec 2 pieces each. I did use a hair dryer to shrink it a little and a needle to poke any bubbles. It makes these planes look good. Then I have a wax that I wax my wing with to reduce drag.
We will be seeing some sharp looking 2548 planes coming out now.
PS love that J1N1-S Gekko (Irving)

Watch your 6
