Merlin Man

Hi All,

Does anyone have any links/ info on the CMPro Spitfire 50 size ??

( I have done a search here but there appears to be nothing on this specific model. ) I am fairly sure I saw a thread on it somewhere ???

It has a 52" wingspan and a fibreglass fuse for .46 2strokes or .50-.60 4 strokes.

Any help would be appreciated .

Cheers,
Merlin Man.

Hi Merlin

I saw it at the Ontario model show. Nitroplanes is out right now, but I'm looking to get one.

It is done nicely. Its typical current CMP. ployester glass fuse, wood wing and it has air foiled stabs. really nice shape to it as well.

Just an FYI , Hobbyking has a really nice spit in eletric aprox 55" span , complete with retracts for about $199, I think the killer is the $64 for shipping from China , all epo foam but outstanding paint and finish -
You have to provide an email to see the pics , there is a very long thread under giant electric warbirds in rcgroups

Hi,

From what I have looked at with this model, weight seems to be the only possible issue.?

Does anyone have a finished weight and comments re wing loading and "flyability" ? It seems its P51 stablemate is a little on the heavy size and consequently fast , especially on the landing.?


Thanks
MM.

I just finished building mine tonight. It came in at exactly the same weight as my CMP P51 50 sized plane. I used the same gear, so it makes sense, but I build heavy. It came in at 7 lbs. even, but others have built theirs at 6 lbs. I'm using a big motor and big battery.

Here's the thread I've been following.

I created a nice cockpit graphic that I posted in that thread, at post 100. It looks great in the plane, way better and more authentic than the crappy cockpit graphic CMP stuck in it. I posted it so others who are building this plane could print it out and glue it in.

I'm doing the maiden in the morning. I hope it flies!
