NOTE: Instructions for mounting every possible
engine cannot be incorporated into this manual.
Modelers using another engine may refer to the
instructions as a guide for mounting their engine in a
similar way. If using the BT-43EI-2 engine an optional
muffl er is recommended.

Per the IMAA Safety Code, magneto spark-ignition
engines must have a coil-grounding switch on the
aircraft to stop the engine and prevent accidental
starting, The switch must be operated manually
(without the use of the transmitter) and accessible by
the pilot and assistant. If using a spark-ignition engine,
refer to Install the Cowl on page 25 for details.
RADIO EQUIPMENT
The radio equipment and number of channels required
to fl y the Top Flite Giant P-47D ARF depends on the
capabilities of your transmitter and how the servos
will be connected.
The Giant P-47D ARF requires a servo to operate the
air control valve if using retracts, a throttle servo, two
fl ap servos, two aileron servos, two elevator servos
and a rudder servo. Servos with a minimum of 50 oz-
in [3.9kg-cm] of torque are required for operating the
elevators, rudder, ailerons and fl aps. We recommend
that metal geared servos also be used. Standard
servos may be used for the throttle and choke (the
servo operated choke is optional). A micro servo is
required to operate the retract air valve. An optional
servo operated kill switch may also be used (this is
in addition to the IMAA-required, manually operated
engine kill switch. A servo operated kill switch is only
really necessary for engines that do not reliably shut
off by closing the carburetor, but could also serve as
a backup.

A receiver battery with a minimum of 1,000mAh is
recommended for fl ying the Giant P-47D ARF. The
battery voltage should be checked before every fl ight
to be certain it has enough “charge”.
In addition to the servos, the following items (or
similar items) are also required. The order numbers
shown in parentheses are for Futaba servos.

RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR
The Top Flite Giant P-47D ARF may be assembled
with either the included fi xed landing gear or optional
retractable landing gear. If fi xed landing gear is used
no other items will need to be purchased to install the
gear. If you wish to install retractable landing gear,
this model is designed for Robart pneumatic retracts.
Following is the complete list of items required to
install the Robart retracts:

Note: An air pump will also be required to pressurize
the air tank. The Robart hand pump could be used,
but is not practical because of the large capacity
of the air tank in this model. A small, 12V electric
pump is recommended and can be purchased at an
automotive or hardware store.
