The FT Spitfire is a super flying model, you will love it.
I was thinking that the weight would be ok to. I am concerned about servo damage to. I read the comments for it and no one mentioned that being a problem yet. I will give it a try and let you all know how it works.
If anything make sure you use a metal gear servo not plastic.
Good to have you aboard. Remember to take pictures of your progress and post them. So we can cheer you on all the more
I did go look at the files on thingi, so it does have a support and stopper for the servo and legs which is good. What I would do once you have it assembled is maybe glue it to 1/16 plywood and make the plywood go beyond the leg so it can disperse some of the weight. As is there is really no support where the main impact would be on a rough landing
I think I see what you are suggesting. Like a piece of plywood under all of it or just under the support piece. Maybe about a 1/4" or more out?
I would go under all of it but cut it so the plywood is farther out then the legs , main impact is right at the servo arm. You could possibly glue that plywood to the inner side of the wing so you don't see it
Cool!! But easier and lighter to add sound in post 🤣🤣Here is the older FT Spit I built , flies like a dream and then I added sound to it and the 2 speakers are real heavy and I think it just about doubled the weight of the plane so landing gear will be just fine. It flew ok but very sluggish
That was cool. I like it when it started up. It put a big smile on my face.Here is the older FT Spit I built , flies like a dream and then I added sound to it and the 2 speakers are real heavy and I think it just about doubled the weight of the plane so landing gear will be just fine.

I will, thanks! 🙂Good to have you aboard. Remember to take pictures of your progress and post them. So we can cheer you on all the more
True but this gives it the "cool: factor
It does sound cool, to bad the guns aren't louder. Also to bad the system weighs so much. It was more just for fun and see if it would actually carry that kind of payload and it did .That was cool. I like it when it started up. It put a big smile on my face.
Welcome aboard @Tr33s! I'm very glad you've decided to join our group build. @bracesport has yet to maiden his, and I'll be posting my newby flights with the Spitfire here for a while to come. You're right on time.
Well it’s sure nice to have friends. I will probably stick the the plans (for the first one) 😉. I saw your maiden, and hope I can do that well. Looking forward to seeing more of your builds. It helps a lot to get new ideas.Welcome aboard @Tr33s!

Don't worry if your plane doesn't look like some the examples we've seen from our master builders, here. Mine is white, completely stock to plan, with some colored cardstock and wing tape. I built it just because I wanted to fly it, and I'm so glad that I did!
Like @Jimun said, feel free to inundate us with pictures and video. We love it! We'll also be able to cheer you along, and help if we see a boo boo. I'm already looking forward to your maiden!
