A master series style, 46" wingspan Spirit of St Louis. Uses 4 sheets of DTFB. Not a Swappable.
The spirit is not a hard plane to fly, but you do have to fly it all the time; no letting your mind or thumbs wander, else the plane will go with them.
I would say this is an intermediate flyer. It is not self-correcting, but it is relatively slow and has forgiving flight characteristics.
Original used a Turnigy 2826 1400kv motor and 2000mah 2S. The cowling nicely fits a 1-3/4" spinner, but I've gotten used to how she looks without one.
