    Spitfire Printing error: " Happy Accident"?

    Not quite sure this is the thread, but it seemed to fit.. I had a friend print out the plans on his plotter, I was done with cutting out when i noticed that things were not quite right. I checked the scale on the plans and even though I asked him to print at 100%, he "scaled to fit" instead...

    Great Speedbuild Kits, Great Service, Great Plans. If you are on the fence, JUMP IN!

    Just wanted to give a shout out to both FT and Lazer Toyz. There was a minor mistake on my order of a Baby Blender with a power pack. It was not only resolved, but they went above and beyond to make it right. I have used the plans to cut my own foam board and it went perfectly. I have also...

    Swappable P-40 Warhawk / Kittyhawk MkIA

    After seeing the Flitetest Swappable Spitfire, and the Swappable Bf 109E and P-51D by Ultramicrobe, I wondered whether you could make a Swappable P-40. Having some foam board on hand, I thought I would give it a try. The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk (Tomahawk and Kittyhawk in RAF nomenclature) was...

    Ft Spitfire removable landing gear suggestions.

    So I just finished my ft spitfire and I LOVE it. But I want a landing gear that I can easily take on and off. Does anyone have any ideas or any creations of their own that they can share? Thanks, Knife-edge
