Meister P47D Refurbishment

[stewart clifford]

Steve has got all of the aeroplane back now and has been applying rivet detail to the wings using Mick Reeves rivet patterns and painting over them. Heres a picture of the fuselage after the masking was all finally removed. The other picture shows the nose art going onto the cowl.

Thanks chaps, I thought I'd fly the British flag with it this time, like my dad has with his Meister Corsair

Stew, you mean a pic like this from the hop farm!!

[stewart clifford]

Yeah that's the one, hey whats that? could it be the women reaching out to grab hold of a bit of Slashygregg? oh no,it's worse than that, it's Ken Shephard trying to get a dance.

[Gregg Veasey]

All the gear is now in, the engine is on and the whole thing has had a coat of seal. All thats left to do now is fit the retracts, petrol tank, aileron & elevator pushrods and receiver.

[chris willis]

Very nice Gregg but I will miss "ole Cock"

[Gregg Veasey]

Me too but 10 is pretty old in wardog years

[Gregg Veasey]

Steve, yours must be finished now??

[Mike Booth]

Poyfect.

[Gregg Veasey]

Cheers Mike but this one is a 'better in the pics' model! I'll be putting barriers round it so nobody can get too close. I'll be in trouble though when Neil gets his camera out when its flying!!

Wings are now complete other than sticking guns in and doing the wing tip light covers. The servo's are in though, push rods made and all fully programmed. The retracts are also in.

So, fit new batteries, fit a receiver and fit the petrol tank and it ready to test fly.
