FINAL FINE TUNED SPIT
Enjoyed three (3) "Spitfire flying days" recently where the temperature was warm enough to fly dressed in my "Spitfire Brotherhood" T-shirt. I found it necessary to modify the battery compartment so as not to accidently install the battery too far forward. In addition to the marks and note reminding me where to place the battery I finally added a well ventilated sponge plastic spacer for use in front of the battery to force me to place the battery correctly. I had just pleasantly experenced putting up three enjoyable flights with the TF F6F "Cat" that requires the batteries to be located as far forward as possible - habits can be tricky. Thinking correctly can be a blessing. I found it to be very unnerving to fly my Spit with the CG too far forward.
With my split flap system adjusted a little over 20 degrees deflection down, (flap area is restricted to the wing only - none under the fuselage) that it now seems possible to fly as slow as my F6F on landings. It also seems practical to hang it out as slow as the F6F up in the thermals "motor powered glider style."
ParkZone's Spitfire is a real winner!
Out.
