I'll be starting the exact plane soon. Did you do lightening holes? If so, how many and where? Also, how old is your kit, did you find any part-labeling errors or improperly fitting pieces?

That would be okay if everything stayed on this thread, but I have no knowledge of the way this idea would work.

Any thoughts Squadron?

Great plane. The kit requires a little thought as you assemble it as compaired to some of the other TF 1/7 kits, but if you review the thread for the builds it will save you some shop time.

I have mine I need to glass.

My hangar 9 30cc spit. Powered with a dle 35 ra, hitec mg servos all the way around, elite electric retracts. This Spit is a fine looking model, and flies awesome as well. The looks are impressive and always grabs attention at the field! Hangar 9 has delivered another winner!!!

Sparky,

It looks complex, maybe you should give it to me to try for awhile. Really, it looks great. How did you fab the exhaust.

Thanks Ramstein-44, for posting my Black Spitfire. (My computer is still down, using the wifes). You did pick out a good subject for me to do.
it is running a 120 Four..life batt with regulator...Airtronics reciver with an eagleTree stab. I have no switches on the outside of the spit. I made a
hatch up top with my gas fill line..power..charge..reciver compartment that I can get to with or without the wing off. Callie graphics did my decals.
This is the: LF.Mk.lXe Spitfire Unit: 101 tajeset, lDF/AF Serial: 57 (ex Te554)

If anyone can help....I need some exhaust ports for this120 size bird...Any One....Any One. Let me know.
Thanks, Again
