OVERHEATING SPITFIRE PROBLEM SOLVED
In addition to the already discussed cooling system modifications detailed on our Park Flyer forum thread, a decisively important but barely noticeable opening installed on the right side of the tail section in the lower "rudder hinge area" works perfectly to keep the ESC "touchably warm" after a more or less normal flight in 80 degree weather conditions. I used sharpened metal tubing to create the opening in the bottom right side rudder hinge area (can only be seen from the right rear view of the plane) to clear out a channel through to the inside of the rear section of the fuselage. The battery compartment was also made less restrictive for better air flow through the aft sections of the wing radiators and the new vent in the rudder area. Ram air through the hollowed out engine air intake as well as the slightly enlarged three prop blade openings and small spinner/fuselage gap area seems to help provide a nice balanced cooling system for great war combat emergency power demonstrations.
The vertical stabs on both of my Mk IX Spitfires are also modified for purely aesthetic reasons to look more like the one depicted in the above picture that I hope will remain on this post.
It's time to get back in the fight.
Out.
