200% Spitfire , Remaiden

Here's the remaiden of my Monster Spitfire , with new stronger motor. ( Underpowerd for first maiden )

During the second flight of the day, the wings folded up slightly but was landed intact.


First maiden -

Looks good man. just got the foam board and planes printed out to make one myself.

Go for it, it's a great plane !
Just make sure you reinforce the wing spar. I originally used plywood spar with the foam spar, but the paper came off the foam and the
wing folded up a little. Reinforced with 24 inch carbon fiber arrow & expanding foam (it added 1 ounce to the wing)
Flies great now, had a bad landing and nosed over and I bent the motor shaft

Thanks for the tip, Ill keep it in mind as I build mine up. Im going to start by reskin the foam board with red rosin paper and polycrylic to add strength plus making it waterproof
