Default RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

My Spit is almost ready to go. I went with the recommended servos and a R6014HS Rx, 14SG Tx, DLE55 side exhaust and Robart electric retracts. If the JTEC P51 muffler isn't available, you can use the P40 in cowl muffler. They are both the same, just that the exhaust stacks are longer. Cutting them to length shouldn't be a problem. Using the 14-channel Rx has made setting everything up a breeze, not a single Y harness to be seen! Also, with the electric retracts, you can sequence them so the right gear starts its cycle before the left gear, very cool! I'm also using the servo slow programming on the flaps, they look pretty neat moving slowly. First flight should be sometime next week.
