Greetings all. First post on this forum.....
I've built several FT "swappable" types, but got this little Spitfire a few weeks ago. Finally got to maiden it last last weekend. What a sweet little flyer! Most Spitfires I've had are quite tricky to fly as they tip stall at the blink of an eye. This one still needs plenty of speed but doesn't tip-stall nearly as bad as the others I've flown. Likely those huge under-cambers on the wing tips. But it floated out of my hand and only needed a few clicks of down elevator.
A great plane for sure.
Here's my little build..
And the maiden flight..
