Did you get a disclaimer with the plane that advises against using the supplied hinges?? The RCU Universe review of the GSP Spitfire mentions it. I must have read this review a tousand times. I love spitfires!

I forget that the Zero specs for a larger engine than the spit even though they are the same wingspan. Don't necessarily know why that is, especially since they are the same weight with comparable wing loading.

I fear I may end up with a hangar full of these CMP warbirds...
