150% FT Spitfire

[DazDaMan]

Back in February, I was off sick from work, and I was pretty fed up, so decided to build a BIG FT Spitfire to keep me occupied!

Anyway, long story short, I finally finished getting it all together last week. So, this was taken last Saturday, the 16th of August, and this happened the next day......

Sorry for the lack of updates on this!

I've now flown the Big Spit three times, and very successfully. I've changed the battery to a 3300mAh 3S, but may well upgrade this to 4000mAh in the future. She's pretty sprightly when there's less wind, but handles like a trainer. Seriously, she is a real pussycat!

Since these videos were taken, I've painted the Spit, and am currently waiting for some better weather to be able to fly her.

Cheers, guys.

Weather is quite horrible just now, but I'm hoping the weekend will be better.

First flight of the big Spit after painting. This is literally the most relaxing plane I've flown!

The Spitfire is a great flyer. Made a few myself.

This one is the 9th that I've built.

Nice. I'm the same way, except I've done that to the mustang. I made a 200% mustang

I've also done a twin spitfire.

I did the 150% size as that was as big as I can fit in my car!

Luckily I have a truck i made the wings in two pieces and detachable from the body.
