Hi all!

Here comes my first post to this forum.[8D]

I had own YAC Spitfire kit over year, but I didn't start it yet seriously. I was thinking many different modifications and retract systems and details.

Few ideas:

1. Retracts
- Plan to built own construction, not from any shop. I have many pictures, books and 3-views, so I'll try make them very scale looking and mechanically with servo. Even tail wheel retract.

2. Engine
- Using 50-60ccm gas, but fitting it as back as possible to hide it(Idon't like if some peaces of engine watching under cowl) and using longer, ballbeared propsaft. If it need extra cooling, I'll fit electric fan. Cooling outlets to radiator holes.
-Home made muffler with orig. place exhaust. Carb. intake from original place(scoop).

3. Horisontal stab.
- Lighter version than glassfibre.

4. Guns
- Scale look with strobolight.

If you guys have any opinion or/and advices, write to this thread.
