TiredIronGRB's FMS P-47 rebuild

[TiredIronGRB]

I picked up another junker to rebuild...



Retracts look to have been torn out several times.



Epoxied a thin piece of aluminum over the broken retract mount.

Boy that's a fast way to fill up a hanger. Getting planes people put in the dirt and don't know how or just don't have the patience to fix. You really do some nice work and come up with some cool ideas.

Thanks Dewey, I think it comes from years of restoring military vehicles that you have to fabricate most of the parts.

Geez! The Foam Doctor is at it again. :D
You really do some fine work, sir. I enjoy your threads because I always see something new.

I just wished I lived close to you so you could be my sinsee. I'll definitely be a little grasshopper to learn your talents. People can look at pictures all day long and after a while and probably with trial and error get it right. But standing there watching and maybe helping is priceless.

Finished up the P-47, it's a good flying plane.

Looks awesome!

Beautiful, as usual, but when do you have time to actually fly ;).

Lol...I have a runway here at the house so I fly just about everyday.

Beautiful work TiredIron! It's a good thing I don't have a runway at my house, I would never get anything done but fly. That would be great!!!:p
