RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
My son and i recently bought the Top Flite kits. We were planning to use the Tower suggested retracts. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXES04&P=M
Is this a bad idea? Thanks.

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
If we are each going to buy a set we may as well get the ones that will hold up the best under all conditions. I would like to say that both of us land perfectly every time but...... 
What do we need to do to join the Brotherhood? I have watched this thread for a long time but this is both of us first time at building Spitfires.

Here is my World Models Spitfire. Not exactly best scale but a great flyer. Power 60, 6S 5000, Turnigy Plush 60, 8.25lb AUW. Flies on a 14x14 APC Pattern prop.

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
I to could be interested in this electric World Models Spitfire.
Not sure which 60 and battery system is being discussed, but recently I have been testing some 60 and 90 e-Flight’s with e-Flight 80 Amp ESC’s, and e-Flight 6S 5000 mah LiPo battery’s.
Here are the readings from my bench test:
Power 60:
15x7 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 6920 RPM at 36Amps at 22.2 volts
15x7 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 7700 RPM at 45Amps at 25.0 volts
14x9 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 7540 RPM at 43Amps at 23.0 volts
Power 90:
16x8 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 5950 RPM at 40Amps at 23.0 volts
16x10 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 5920 RPM at 37Amps at 23.0 volts
As a comparison, these are pushing the numbers I was getting with a DLE-20 gas.
My first flight was with a TF P-47 ARF at around 9 pounds with the Power 60 with the 15x7 3 blade Master Airscrew prop. Flight was clean with a scale speed, not overpowered, but not underpowered. The 14x9 should add some speed, but no flights with it yet.
We did decide to move up to the 90 combination for the TF 1/7 P-40 kit built which will be in the 12 pound range. Not airworthy yet, but getting closer.
Bob, Good to hear from you.

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
If anyone is interested, we had shirts made for the brotherhood. I had some extras made, but there are only Short Sleeve Collar in Large and 2XL remaining. I will say, if you wear an XL and would like a loose fit with some extra room the 2XL works fine.
Each shirt is $15.00
One shirt + shipped anywhere in the USA is $21.00
Two + shipping anywhere in the USA is $42.00 because of the larger USPS Flat Rate box.
I was able to ship to Canada for around $8.00, and Australia for $16.00
PM me if interested.

I've been looking over that World Models spit...for me, doesn't have to be "very scale", mainly wondering about the Power 60...is that something like a 63-54-250 or more like 63-74-210 ? Is battery access from underneath? Or is canopy the hatch?
Great low pass shot, BTW. Just needs a pilot
ORIGINAL: TTRotary
Here is my World Models Spitfire. Not exactly best scale but a great flyer. Power 60, 6S 5000, Turnigy Plush 60, 8.25lb AUW.

There is some bashing needed, but not that much. I'll post pics. I cut out a battery hatch, just behind the cowl. As with all Spits, you have to get as much weight up front as possible. The 6S packsits vertically, right behind the firewall. This is one of the rare ARFs where the included mechanical retracts actually work well and are durable. Gear looks a little canted forward, but ground handling is good as a result - pretty hard to nose this one over.

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
Here's a question for you about the elevator trim on a Parkzone Spitfire IX full size model. I recently purchased on of these and assembled her and proceeded to trim her out. While looking at the elevator, I mechanically set the control rods so that the elevator and the rear stab were perfectly aligned with one another. All other surfaces were also set to align perfectly with their respective surfaces as well, the rudder with vert. stabalizer and ailerons with the main wing. Everything looked perfect. On the maiden, I could only get her up in the air giving full UP elevator. Whenever I let the elevator go to neutral (I thought) the plane would dive, necessitating constant use of UP elevator to keep her in the air. Is there something about a Spitfire and the horizontal stabalizer and elevator that necessitates the rear edge of the elevator be level with the leading edge of the horizontal stabalizer to get the plane to fly without diving? As it looks, if the elevator is flush with the h stab, it is actually in a "DOWN" elevator state.

I'd say you're leaving quite a bit of power on the table there. I am indeed referring to the Eflite Power 60, which I run on 6S in my Spitty. But I have a 14x14 APC pattern prop and it flies this airplane incredibly well. Level speed is 90+ and vertical is unlimited. I have never been impressed with the performance of the MA props with electric. Try those APC patterns - you'll love-em. You can never have enough pitch as far as I am concerned.

16x10 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 5920 RPM at 37Amps at 23.0 volts
As a comparison, these are pushing the numbers I was getting with a DLE-20 gas.
My first flight was with a TF P-47 ARF at around 9 pounds with the Power 60 with the 15x7 3 blade Master Airscrew prop. Flight was clean with a scale speed, not overpowered, but not underpowered. The 14x9 should add some speed, but no flights with it yet.
We did decide to move up to the 90 combination for the TF 1/7 P-40 kit built which will be in the 12 pound range. Not airworthy yet, but getting closer.
Bob, Good to hear from you.

What's the flight time on your setup? All out wouldn't be long, but what about mixed flying? Or do you fly that slow?

Brothers,
One of my club member use one of these on all his "E" birds, ( see link below ), and he love it I did use this when I was heavy into "E" helicopters!!
http://www.eagletreesystems.com/MicroPower/micro.htm If you take your lab-top to the field, you can down-load the info and see how the system is doing!!
Check it out and see what you think!!

Thanks for adding me to the list, as my Dad (oldscaleguy) said we both just got Spits and are really excited about building them this winter.

I'd say you're leaving quite a bit of power on the table there. I am indeed referring to the Eflite Power 60, which I run on 6S in my Spitty. But I have a 14x14 APC pattern prop and it flies this airplane incredibly well. Level speed is 90+ and vertical is unlimited. I have never been impressed with the performance of the MA props with electric. Try those APC patterns - you'll love-em. You can never have enough pitch as far as I am concerned.

I to could be interested in this electric World Models Spitfire.
Not sure which 60 and battery system is being discussed, but recently I have been testing some 60 and 90 e-Flight’s with e-Flight 80 Amp ESC’s, and e-Flight 6S 5000 mah LiPo battery’s.
Here are the readings from my bench test:
Power 60:
15x7 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 6920 RPM at 36Amps at 22.2 volts
15x7 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 7700 RPM at 45Amps at 25.0 volts
14x9 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 7540 RPM at 43Amps at 23.0 volts

14x9 3 blade Master Airscrew prop 7540 RPM at 43Amps at 23.0 volts
Secondly, the aircraft owner wanted 3 blade props, so I went with the MA’s.
I will test some APC’s on them while I am benching them. It will add to my knowledge because I see some of these in my future too.

Here's a question for you about the elevator trim on a Parkzone Spitfire IX full size model.
