Default RE: TF Spitfire build

Well Navy18 It's not a handfull until the speed bleeds off. Even then landings are pretty striaght forward. Mine come out heaver than I had hoped for. About 11lbs. If I'd a known that it would have turned out this heavy I'd paid more attention to the tail assembly. And probably monokoted it. But the Laser 1.00 pulls it with authority. (Stock muffler)
Century Jet retracts with a robart control valve(left over from another effort). There was no real hard part to the build, and no I'm sorry to say I didn't take any assembly photo's. But I've built several TF kits and have a couple more that I'd like to get to in the future. The only substitutions of parts that was made, was a fiberglass cowl and some wing sheeting that was way to soft.
If you've never built any of the other TF kits this may seem harder than it really is. Just take your time and follow the intructions and it should turn out okay. Just pay attention to the weight in the tail. [&:]
