New build, finally built the spitfire.

All up weight with battery is just a tick over 1 pound. With a 1500kv 2836 on a 9x4.7 prop.

Maiden it yet? If so, how does it fly? I built a 125% FT Spitfire and it flys amazing!

I have not, should be going after work today if the wind holds off. In florida, the last 2 weeks has been 15-20 mph winds all day. Haven't flown much lol

I love my FT spitfire, one of the best flyers they designed. Just watch the torque pull to the left on launch.

 

[Kyle124rombo]

I am a little worried with that, its a 1500kv motor, I'm gonna maiden on 3s, butttttt I have a 1800 4s. Ill go down to a 8x4.7 or similar prop for the 4s

Anybody that has flown it, is she a little pitchy with the elevator? Seems like a big control surface a long way from the wing.

After you get by the launch it flys great!

Awesome I can't wait. I have LocalFiends 42" A6m2 zero, and i love it, its just slow because I used the much heavier foamboard from Hobby lobby its literally twice as heavy as my spitfire. I have an eflite power 10 laying around I mayyyy have to,put in the zero
