Default RE: GSP Spitfire ARF build

kqutob,
What model did your WM retracts come out of? I was considering doing the same thing, that is put a set of GS WM Zero mechanicals in the Spit and using my Spring Air 103 HDs in the Zero. Of course that would require me to buy that WM Zero that I have been staring down lately.

I worry every day about my TT 91 FS not being enough engine. It should turn a 14x6 @10.5k. The one in the review flew with a 13x8.5 prop. It's been said that the power of my TT 91 FS is comparable to a Saito 100 with some extra weight added in for good warbird-measure. If it doesn't do well, then I will just drop in my Brison 2.4!

As far as distinct appearances go-- you could paint some invasion stripes on it like I did. Once the decals are applied I expect there will be a worthwhile improvement in appearance. Also there is often seen a yellow stripe on the leading edge of some warbirds (spit included). I plan also to paint this on each wing. I guess I should post some pictures...
