Spitfire 1939
Maybe you asked the wrong club for help!
Can I suggest you go to the British Model Flying Association [BMFA] website
www.bmfa.org
for details of another club near you.

The others are correct - a Spitfire as a first model is asking for trouble. Most [!] clubs are glad to help beginners. Make sure you have BMFA insurance before you fly, as well. But keep the Spit. in the garage, or wherever, it'll make a good third or fourth model.

Good Luck
