The FA-220 will fly the giant TF Spitfire but with no reserve power if you need it. I had the FG-36 which is the gas version of the FA-220, installed in my TF P-51D (25.5lbs), flew and sounded great but was limited to basic maneuvers. I switched it out for a DLE 55RA, made a world of difference to what type of flying maneuvers I can now perform, large loops etc.

The FG-36 is now at home in the H9 30cc Spitfire, have not flown it yet, the FG-36 should fly it with authority due to the H9 being a lot lighter then the TF 50cc Spitfire.
