OK Friends,I´m now a lucky Owner of a PICA Spit ( 1/5 ),and would be more than happy,if You could answer some of my Questions ( I know TOM,I have to finish my P51B at first , but I think before I die I will start with the Spitty)
- I ´ll try to get the tail as light as possible,the wood needs to be changed ( very heavy) cause I checked the MAC or CG in the
middle section of the wings,it´s by 22.35 % !!!!!!!! ( so the plane MUST fly , but will have a tendency to noseover ( i know these
from my other Spit )
I will do a scale ( glass ) finish and some details , so I would be happy,if the weight of the plane doesn´t exeeds 20 pounds...
a ) Do You think a Laser 180 or a Super Tigre 195 will be okay ( I would prefer the Laser cause of it´s small exhaust)
b ) Which Retracts should i use ? ( planning Shindins )
c ) Building Tips ( maybe strongener some areas ,like retract mounts / ribs ?)
d ) Are the outlines of the front section of the fuselage really scale ( I´m not sure )
Thanks in advance and by the way a nice link,they will sell worldwide and have very nice Cockpits, Spitfire Compass....
