My Dad just finished his P47 about a month ago with the G26 in it. I was the test pilot for the maiden and subsequent flights. I thought the G26 did just fine. It is no power house by any means. But after we put a 18x6 prop on it, it did fine. I thought it flew scale like. And it seemed to float in for landings. I think once we get the motor broke in it will be better of course. It is a sweet flying plane with killer looks and cool factor with the flaps and retracts! I hope to get many more flights on it.
