Default RE: Spitfire Brotherhood (All Spitfires Welcome)

I'm in too. Great idea.

1978 Guillows free flight and I was hooked.

Dynaflight 40. (still a partial kit for my kids??)

Two Pica 88' spits.

- First was silver and Belgium cockards with cannons for high altitude MkIX. ST3000 and 26.5 lbs
Later converted to gas 3w-50. Lost to enemy action 2008. Ignition magnet came loose and gas engine died during a loop. I thought I had the field made and lowered the gear. you know the rest...Stall, spin, crash, burn and die. Should have bellied it in.

- Second Pica done up in American colors in Sicily scheme: Dark earth and sand HL*K .
Moki 2.10. 23 lbs. Upgrading with yellow scale wheels , Mk IX fiberglass cowl from England and smoke system for 2012 season.

Future Goal is the CARF Spitfire. So really looking forward to this.
I may paint in restored colors from www.militaryaviationmuseum.org. see pics.
