Doug,

That is a great looking Spitfire; you are talking me into the TopFlite kit. I get the feeling it is a handful to fly..... did yours turn out heavy? How difficult are retracts (and what kind did you use) for someone who has never used them? What part of the kit gave you the hardest time? Do I dare ask how many nonkit parts you substituted? Thanks for the pics.... I'm just about sold. The end result for the money seems really nice.
