I loves me some P-47. I recently murdered my E-Flite P-47: Fuse snapped in half, one retract destroyed, broken rudder and elevator, wing not fairing very well either.
A couple of questions:
1. How are Dynam planes in general? I had a friend ask about a P-51 for his grandfather, and Dynam had the only one (30" mini) in the size he was looking for (24"-ish WS). When I was looking at options for him, their lineup also piqued my interest.
2. I have a wrecked P-47, and debated whether or not to repair. Dynam replacement parts are much cheaper, and I wondered if the parts from a 1.2m P-47 would swap over to another brand 1.2m - i.e., motor, retracts. Any frame of reference on this? If anything, I might consider getting the ARF/PNP Dynam P-47, and swapping over the rx/motor/esc from the E-flite (E-flite is 3s setup, Dynam is 4s).
3. The Dynam calls for a 2200 or 3000 4s battery. My E-Flite used 3s 2200's. Any problems with running the Dynam on 3s batteries? Both planes spec out at close to the same weight (1500g Dynam, 1570 E-Flite), so I can't imagine why there would be a crushing necessity to run 4s instead of 3s. But since I see a number of people running 4s in their E-Flites for more speed, maybe Dynam was getting ahead of the curve? The park I typically fly at gets eaten up quickly by a 1.2m warbird. I really don't need insane speed.
Thoughts/opinions welcome. Thanks!
