alexf Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Recently I bought the A2A P-47. Wow. I'm impressed and have flown it almost exclusively for the past week in a tour of Australia down the East Coast. Some shots: 1. Bonnie at Warnervale [img alt=http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/alexfel/P47_Bonnie_YWVA.jpg]http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv198/alexfel/P47_Bonnie_YWVA.jpg 2.

Iain Emms Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 A very nice aircraft indeed and nice shots showing it off. cheers Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzer Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks Paul. Accussimed of course! Hehe, yes it has to be really. Very rewarding to fly too, a bit tricky on the take-offs and landings just needs a bit of practise (I need more lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Landing is my problem at the moment. Gets way off center (off-runway really) easily on the cross winds. Also hard to slow down to be able to lower some flaps. Once gear comes down it really sinks and needs to add power. Trying to improve landings. Tough. Love the use of extra tanks for long runs and fuel management. Sounds are the best I've heard in any aircraft. At the moment it is my fav a/c. I am getting all available paints for multiuser flights, but have not had the chance to find another user online yet. Been flying online a lot but have to switch to Dodo 206, Tecnam Sierra or A2A Cub to have everybody see the planes, which I much prefer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not having too much fuel (i.e. weight) on landing helps a lot, but I generally find it easier to come in hugher than normal than normal, descend quite fast and flare to land. Too much weight, with too much drag from the undercarriage with limited visibilty makes a low glide slope very tricky. Ca't say I've mastered it myself though, I simply don't fly it often enough TBH.

jankees Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 glad to see you're enjoying yourself! I usually come in relatively high, and more or less fly it onto the runway, but it can be a bit of a handful... with gear and flaps down, it's easy to lose speed and you drop like a brick if you're too slow..

alan2 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Good to see you've come over to the "fun" side . She's a bit of a tank but a great model . Your next warbird fighter is going to seem so agile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Indeed. I flew the RA Spit today in multiplayer online as that is what the other gentleman had. What a diff! I still like the Spit but the P-47 is my current fav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
