spitfire

Hey all, just a question from a noob, me and a mate bought electronics to build a couple of spitfires a while back...with no flying experience lets just say our beautifully made rc planes weren't looking so beautiful after there highly successfully maiden flights (about 10 feet) after some...

Our first flight with 100% enlarged FT Spitfire: Best regards, Robert, Simon & others / SLOVENIA - EU

I'm pretty well-versed in spray painting, but I've yet to paint foam board. Any good tips anyone wants to share? I'll be painting a Spitfire, by the way.

This is my 7th scratch build from the flite test downloads, by far the pride of my mini fleet! The baby blender v2 was the best flying plane for my growing skill level to date but when I purchased the 2" spinner I knew I had to build a proper spitfire! So here it is, after I put the wing and...

Hi Guys, Im a great fan of the show and now want to start participate in the great community that grew around these awesome Dudes! :D I want to scratchbuild a FT Mustang and a FT Spitfire. Are these Motors too big for that plane? Flyzone F4U Motor (35-36-920kV) with 40A ESC Parkzone 15 BL...

Just wanted to share a few pics of my FT Spitfire. I think it came out pretty sweet. Should show up nice in the bright sky. :cool: Maiden coming soon... Cheers, OGBugsy

Here's my FT Spitfire I've been working on: I finally got everything ready to fly after waiting on components from hobby king (we've all been there) and went out to maiden it. Maybe i should have filmed it for comic relief as it flew, but only to the left and down despite several attempts...

I have read many posts that people keep asking if this motor, prop, esc combination will work. How about people coming here and post what Plane-Motor-Prop-Battery-ESC. combination you have used and it worked well. People also ask how long you can fly with the combination. How about telling us...

There are a lot of firsts going on here. My first post on the FT forums about my first successful day flying my first R/C plane, the FT Spitfire. I say first 'successful' flight because today was the day I flew without breaking anything. The first two attempts had some interesting results...

So I have just recently built a spitfire from the speed build kit, went to go give it the maiden flight and of course something goes wrong, the motor (SUPPO 2208/14 1450KV BRUSHLESS MOTOR) will start up and go up to about 2/3 throttle, once it goes any higher it will suddenly stop and create...

Hi! I'm new to the hobby and been flying a FT Spitfire and now a FT Mustang. Both seem just a bit underpowered with the NTM 2826 1200kv motor... Running a 3s 2200mah and 9x6E prop. I really want a little more punch so I want to upgrade but I don't have a idea what to look for. I've come across...

Bij deze de eerste Belgische post :D Mijn 3 Swappables: FT 3D/ Spitfire / Bloody Wonder V2 D Vandaag wordt gestart met de paintjob van de Spitfire. Locatie: Poperinge

I have landed my spitfire a couple of times pretty hard. I found one of the weak points int the spitfire is the front wingbox. The foam just doesn't hold up. So I made a reinforced front wingbox for he spitfire and my BF-109. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks, Brad

In the past, I generally stayed home when it is windy, but I found out recently that I can get along with a steady wind. My FT models are best due to their low "pucker factor". I was itching to fly so I went out thinking the wind wasn't so bad- but when I got to the field, I find it above 15mph...

I always loved Spitfires and when David released his foamboard version, I went straight away and ordered the speed build kit which including shipping to Europe cost far and beyond ridiculous. But once I built it (my first foamboard plane ever), that thing flew like a dream and I think to this...

I recently finished building the FT Spitfire but when it came to fitting the swappable power pod I found that the sides of the pod became stuck on the spray adhesive (on the inside of the fuselage) I had used to temporarily attach the plans to the foam board for cutting. I almost destroyed the...

Greetings! This is my first post. I've been lurking for a while and I've finally reached the point where I need to reach out for some advice. So I've just finished building my first FT Spitfire. She looks pretty good considering my limited experience with scratch building. I'm installing the...

So,I am hoping I am in the right place....Mad (Scratch) Builders has a nice ring too it :),anyway,I thought I would post a few pics and hopefully a vid of my latest mods. Let me know what you think,I'm still a ways off from testing this mod in flight,still need to build the fus for this bird and...

So when deciding to build the FT Spitfire, I thought maybe it could do with some extra detaining. I mean don't get me wrong, it looks totally awesome already, and I have seen so many fantastic builds, but I feel like doing things with those few extra elements. I am personally building a 1938...

Hey guys, first post, love this stuff, I have a little heli but my passion was always for planes - and now I can afford it. I'm all ready to crash my first 4 dollar foam plane! woo hoo! not even gonna paint it 😜 So that brings me to the swappable. At first I thought there was this...
