Fabulous work fokke and I am following with interest as I will need to make a scale spinner for my Mk V Spitfire when I build it,,,,, after I finish your 109. (that I will not be able to continue with just yet)
I think you are now going to fill with foam and shape??

raaf

Shayne, I plan to make the sminner after two weeeks , I will make just the composite part, I can't make the back plate ...

and how does it fly again...?

shultz21

are any of these kits flying? if so how do they fly?

fokke

The first model fly in France, Unfortunately I do not have more details ..


So I have several orders for bigger Spity , so I up the plans to 1/4 scale . One of my costumer want to use Kolm 150 cc, so I made the plans for this engine, off course can use other engines to


Here some pics , the first big kit will fly to Australia, so I hope the guy will post some details around the buiding proces

Any chance you might drop that Spitfire down to 1/7th scale?

fokke

Yes I can rebuld all details for 1.7 scale but like the bigger 1/4 I do not have composite sowl and canopy .

Before several months I made 1/5.5 scale , for this size I have composite cowl , the model is around 2 meters

shultz21

staying tuned in for details...

I second the 1/7th scale, I'm sure a canopy from another manufacturer could be made to fit.

Josh, it sounds like you have the same transportation and storage limitations I have.

fokke

The problem in rescaling is not the stringers holes or other wood stuf, the problem is that I have to make the all molds for cowl and canopy......

FlyerInOKC

My Feedback: (6)

If you scaled to the same size as an existing kit like Top Flite or the old Royal/Marutaka then you could put out the short kit and plans and the buyer could order the cowling and canopy from another source whether it be Top Flite or Fiberglass Specialties who makes cowling to fit both the Top Flite design and the Royal/Marutaka and the canopy to fit the Royal/Marutaka..

fokke

Yes, for the Canopy can be done, but for the cowl I can;t make it because the shape of formers of the fuselage is probably different from other companies , So I can make make the cowl by wood ribs and stringers , and make 1/6 and 1/7 scale , then the guys have to buy just canopies
