Hi George,

I remembered the thread on Ron Burn's F-4-F Wildcat, and thought of something for you!

Pat Johnston does absolutely wonderful CAD plans for a lot of "scale" stunters.  He has a .60 size Wildcat he designed for Bill Hummel.  He reduced them slightly for me so that I can use a T&L ST G51.  It was a small percentage reduction, down to about 625 sq. in.,  but he can blow up or reduce any of his plans to suit the size you need.

I recently asked him for a ".35 size Zero" which he can do, no problem, so a .35 or .40 size Wildcat would be a simple thing for him.  (don't shoot me, Pat! )

If you are interested in these planes, please get hold of Pat.  I do not have his contact info here at work, but someone else will jump in with it, I hope!

Hi Mark,

I found Pat's email addy and PM'ed George with it.

Didn't want to post it in public, seems there is an aversion to doing that, and I didn't ask Pat permission to publicly post it.

Pat is a great guy and does great plans too, hes my design mentor, however he is out of the country for the rest of the week. He is in Brazil with the contigent there that built his P-47 design for the nats,, he should be back end of week. I too dont have his contact info handy its at home.

 
Howdy Mark. My apologies with my response. I thank you for your input. From my view, it appears that small band of Brazilian C/L stunt flyers have a zeal for the P-47 D (Bubbletop) Thunderbolt design, which I believe are of mostly of Pat Johnstons design. Fantastic to see these modellers dedication. Further, I understand a number of Latin American countries at some stage in their history pressed the P-47 Thunderbolt into service with their respective air arms. These Brazilians seem to have picked up the thread, and their P-47's look to be extremely well finished as well.
    No doubt about them, these Brazilians know a semi-scale stunt modelling subject when they see one! The "Jug" is certainly appealing.
Do you think every budding semi-scale stunt flyer should have one? 
Best Regards: George Knott.
