RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
Well Brother's,
After all day in the workshop and lots of T.L.C, my Spit is back!!!
It was not as bad as I was thinking on the day it went in. I had to rebuild the motor box and firewall. The plane went in nose first and rip the nose off at the box. I check the rest of the fuse and found no damage!! Wow, was I lucky, Here are a few shots of how she look now. Yes she has been in a war and will live to fly again. Hope to maiden her this weekend and I will let the hood know how it went. I love this plane!!!

Sonny,
I am glad you were able to repair the Spitfire. Sometimes it takes an extra day to reflect before we realize they can be put back in service.
By the way, is that a Cessna 310 sitting in the photo?

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
Thanks for the vid . Now thats the way a airshow should be . The one thats local to me is so lame , sure we get our Mustangs and what not , but the flight line is far away , you might as well be at a RC show In fact , the guys that fly Rc before the show starts , get a more positive reveiw than the full size show . This fact has not been lost on me ... I might have something up my sleeve

We don't get lots of warbirds in my corner of the world... but the Spitfire pilot I've seen flying is pretty good:

It is not my video but I was there.
I heard he's bringing a P-51 this year.

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
cool , glad you liked it. i am lucky to live so close to a great show. they are trying hard to recover the fame of years past. It is the former National Warplane Museum. they had a nasty split years ago and took the b-17 "Fuddy Duddy" with them . i got a chance to ride in her and i will never forget it. The movie variant " The Memphis Belle" now lives there along with a real D-day vet a C-47 that was a lead ship in the invasion of Normandy . i live 5-10 miles off the approach end of the runway and they fly over my place a lot.
