Is this a good setup for the FT Spitfire?

Would this be a good setup for the ft spitfire? It will be constructed of 5mm Foamboard apparently its twice as heavy as the stuff used in the FT kits.

NTM Prop Drive 28-36 2700KV / 595W (UK Warehouse)
NTM Prop Drive 28 Series Accessory Pack (UK Warehouse)
TGS Precision Sport Propeller 7x4 (1pc) (UK Warehouse)
HobbyKing YEP 60A (2~6S) SBEC Brushless Speed Controller (UK Warehouse)
HXT900 Micro Servo 1.6kg / 0.12sec / 9g (UK Warehouse)
A lemon RX and Sat

I will be using 2200 3s packs.

Others may have better advice as it will be heavier but I used the 1200KV NTM on my setup. However, mine was built with dollar tree foam board.

The 2700kv may be over kill then

A 7x prop is too small. Get a lower kv and bigger prop.

Would a 9x6 and 1400 kv be ok?

Perfect.

Hey Trex

Just finished mine (U.K. Hobbycraft foam) AUW is 888. Knowing a fair a fair bit of nose weight would be needed I went for a turnigy 3530 1200kV which was about £9. Balances perfectly and is giving over a kg of thrust on a 9x7 master airscrew prop. Waiting for the "summer" to cooperate before I can maiden it - can't wait

Cool looks good, I flew mine yesterday and today, it flies so nicely and so easy. Just a bit slow for me im using a 9x6 and 1400 kv.

Im going to swap it for a 750kv and a 11x8 off my durafly spitfire and see what happens, just swapping them over now. Did you paint yours or use decals?

Mine weighs 680g without the lipo, nice and light.

It's painted with the decals cut from vinyl. Same weight without the battery
