RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
Here is my first engine run of my Hanger 9 Spitfire with a Saito FG17 engine.

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
@108buzz,
Sounds really good. My Keleo exhaust is on the way. Last time I checked, it passed through San Fran. The spinner is at the powder coating place for a matt off white finish and I hope to have it back on Friday. I also have a Topflite cockpit on order. It's kind of getting a bit cold here to do test runs of the engine outside (-11c) and snow. Oh well, I might heat up the garage once I am ready. I will find out on the weekend if my design of the eight 303 machine gun mock ups will work. Will post some pictures of the progress. I am looking at the robostruts 650's, but am still searching for a good deal on them. @Moggy, thank you for the link to the building forum. Lots of good building tips. I had a look at the cockpit scratch builds. Now that is modeling. I'll have to give that a try. Andreas Happy Flying and stay warm. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ular_smile.gif <br type="_moz" /> |
RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
I have just added Aeroloft dry- transfer "nomenclature" to one of my warbirds. It is an awesome finish detail to any warbird.
Directions say to cover with a clearcoat. I have been using Top-Flite cler-flat Lustercoat on all of my warbirds as I love the finish look. Does anyone know if the Lustercoat is compatable with the Aeroloft dry-transfers? The can has no desription of the contents make-up. Must be Top secret. thanks |
RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
<span style="font-size: small">Mist it on in several light coats. Allow each coat to dry before doing the next one.
Cheers,</span> |
RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
Does the new UM Spitfire AS3X from Parkzone qualify? I just got mine and it is definately a kick to fly!

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
Thanks for the info, I will carefully mist light coats.

If I qualify for the Spitfire Brotherhood I'd like to be 'in'.
I'm scratch building63" Spitfirewhen I'm back in Thailand. I'm in North Africa right now. When I sayscratch I mean no proper plans. Iscaled up a small electric model plan just for the overall shape and I've made everything except the RCV SP90 engine,propellor, radio and servos, even down to sawing a plank of linden into strips and sanding them down to make thelongerons and spars.I'm hoping she'll be finished by Christmas and in the air early in the New Year.

Hooten Park,
Brilliant manoeuvrings on your build. Best of luck. Can't wait for your post of it flying. |

RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)
ORIGINAL: WARBIRDRCER I just finished scanning the entire thread for order information on the shirts. It appears the light blue pocket T shown here is the closest to what we are looking for in the blue. This shirt with the logo attached silk screened on the back is going to run about $20.00 each delivered. Well at least in the US, but will work to ship anywhere they need to go. Below is the thread info I found. Please review and confirm the sizes and number of shirts desired. I told the shirt guy there would be about 25 to start with and it looks like we will surpass that number. The collared shirts run around $6.00 more each, and he did not indicate we could not mix the order up. Let me know this next week and I will go back with our orders.
