Default HACKER Spitfire

any tips on building one of those?

1- the gel-coated fuse seems a little too soft near the tail; plans show NO formers to be added... ?

2- type of retracts? (with semi-scale legs) was thinking Spring air 103HD or Eurokit CRA/15331/000?

3- the pre-sheeted foam wing has no flaps- is it possible to mod the wing for flaps? has anyone done this?

4- PILOT? the Spit is a 1:6.5 scale any Brit wwII that size?(has to be good looking too! )

5- cockpit/ instrument kit (1:6.5)? or plans to build from scratch?

6- looking for an interesting color scheme (MkIX)

7- am using a .91 MVVS (2 cycle) : 2 or 3 blade prop? (for looks and realistic flight)

if anyone who has built this kit has any good info let me know,

all tips are welcome!
