I want to do some subtle weathering, exhaust stains ect. but have a glossy finish. I used polyacrylic clear on my Corsair and like that finish. Any recommendations for good documentation. I have read all of this thread and searching the net for ideas.
Merry Christmas, Rex
Winter project? The TC can be assembled in a few hours, lol. The TC is basically a trainer, amazing flyer, no bad habits. You will love it.

Thanks Tony, glad it is a good flyer. Your right about the assembly, had it all together and radio working in about 3 hours. In the process of adding rivits and a little weathering. Probably be ready to fly at our New Years day club fly. Don't think I can convince the wife I need to order the FMS P-47, they are back in stock. Could just tell her the FED-EX truck brought a package for her.
Happy New Year, Rex

That’s a really idea about running them in parallel.
I do believe it has the stock landing gear, however, that should be simple enough to swap out. The one picked up has a custom paint job on the cowling and tail for orientation. The previous owner even attempted their hand had some weathering.
While I know a lot of people pristine plane, however, I am okay with weathering since it feels more authentic for the time period it would have been used in.

I just picked up a New, In Box Flightline F7F Tigercat at a swap meet. It went together smoothly, but... My motors both just set there and beep about once a second. I don't get the 4 initialization beeps, and I don't get any throttle response. I have set the throttle trim all the way down, just in case that was a problem. I rechecked my throttle connections for placement and polarity, and I even tried another receiver, just in case it was a receiver issue.
But no joy. All the controls work with the exception of the throttle.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom
