I love the Spitfire…and who in their right mind does not? Anyone starting out in this addictive, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately very rewarding hobby misguidedly assume that a Spitfire is the way to go for their first model, usually with disastrous consequences?
At around £108 the Jamara Spitfire 60 ARTF offers a further step up the Spitfire ladder at a budget price! One drawback is that this model’s instruction booklet is predominantly in German although a basic additional instruction booklet is supplied English.
Here are the Jamara Spit 60’s basic details:
Wingspan …65 inches (1660mm). Length……..49 inches (1250mm). Wing area …45 sq. dm. Weight …….74 ozs, (2100g) without motor and R.C. 4-5 channels. Engine……...60 - .90 2/stroke or .80 –120 4/stroke approx.

Opening the box reveals a well-packed and individually wrapped collection of main components. The colour scheme has thankfully put my earlier fears to rest, as the camouflage green scheme is not too bad at all.
All the main components are individually bagged.The covering is Oracover which is very neatly applied!
Provision is made to fit retracts but these are not supplied. A fixed under-cart wire is suppied however with the option of fitting retracts at a later date if desired!
The suppied pre-painted glassfibre cowl is of good quality. A nice touch is the supplied transparent cowl template for marking out before hacking away at the main cowl. It's a pity that more manufacturers don't supply these with their kits!

this looks like the sportsman arf spit that hobby people sells. they have them on sale this month for $150.
englishmac- what covering is on this plane? is it available for repairs or if you make modifications to the plane? if i got this plane i would put spring sir retracts in it so might need some covering. then there is the possibility of damage for whatever reason.
have you flown this plane? if so how many flights? how does it fly?
do they show you where the wheel wels are? do the retracts go toward the fuse or away?
2100 grams is about 4.6 lb. nice and light i think.
are you associated with jamara, or just promoting a plane that you like?
The optional retracts covers are supplied if required together with a tail wheel and hard foam wheels which will be fine off tarmac or similar but not, imo, off soft grass!
Yes I believe it is identical to the Sportsman Aviation model. I also understand that model is actually supplied with the retracts already fitted for a modest additional cost!
The quoted weight is without motor and r.c gear.
I am actually building it at present!
