Default TF Spitfire Build 2010

<span style="font-size: larger; ">Its a new year, and after a ton of Guillows kits I think it time to tackle one of these larger scale RC kits. For Christmas my wonderful wife splurged a little on me. She purchased a TF Gold Edition Spitfire kit, with a Spektrum DX7 radio and an OS 91 surpass 4 stroke engine. There have been other TF spitfire builds, which show details of the build that the black and white photos from the instructions don't seem to explain very well. :

So this is my cramped work space, just checking to see that all of the parts are there. Inside the box are all of the bits of balsa and stamped parts, with the larger plastics vacuum molded tucked very nicely in its protected area/places inside. Included are a hefty instruction booklet, all hardware needed, and rolled plans.



Well after making sure all of the parts were there, Iunrolled the plans and held them down with some biology text books.

Now to decide on a few options:
-Flaps?
-Retracts?
-Supplied hinges?
-Covering?

It would be really nice to hear some feedback from experienced modelers. THANKS
