Waiting for it not windy
I only handle the sports TT well in those conditions, I've crashed it twice
so nothing spit with wind
860g with 3S 2200mah battery to balance and the servos inside under the cab
I will try a CF2826 1200KV and 1047 to see if I can fly quietly
If I don't buy another motor

NOW THAT IS A CLASS BUILD

Hi,
Well, I ended up making a lot of changes.
Added cannons, vac formed humps for the gun magazines, 3D printed radiators, hand carved oil cooler, filled in the front with foam which was shaped. Made the top into a hatch, added a cockpit and 3d printed pilot. And 3d printed exhausts. That's basically it.

And now, as promised the maiden video. With some fun added sound effects to stir the soul...

That's one hell of a build! I need another in my life.

Love the soundtrack! What was the song?

 

[DazDaMan]

It's the theme from the film 633 Squadron.

It's a great piece of music. I think I've used it myself!

After building a ton of different FT models there is one model that i enjoyed flying alot, THIS ONE!!!
With that being said I've decided not only to build this model again but build it twice the original size! That's right 200% scale!
Check it out on this thread: Spitfire on Stroids.

Wow it’s been that long since someone posted something here. So I’ll just say that my desire to rebuild this model and rescue this thread has still been burning, even though the group build model is long gone.

With that note I’ll just drop this here.
