The Supermarine Spitfire, made by Durafly (a Hobby King brand), is a beautiful warbird that is just plain fun to watch as it flies by! Josh Bixler talks about the retractable landing gear, durable construction and scale appearance while Josh Scott gets a little stick time. Don't miss this episode of Flite Test or all of your RC buddies will make fun of you.
Please note: You need a 6CH RX or a servo reverser to get the landing gear to work properly.

*Note: This model has a wingspan of 1.4m, it is noticeably larger than a normal foam plane. Due to the Spitfires elliptical wing it has a tendency to tipstall, however Durafly designers have created the model with 2 degrees of wing-tip washout to help prevent this phenomenon.
