Luke I would not recommend a spitfire or any other warbird as a second plane. you would be better off with a plane like a 4*60. Warbirds generally have a high wing loading and are very unforgiving. If you have a deadstick with a warbird you better hope you have enough altitude so you can increase speed to make it bake to the runway, if you don't it is going to sink like a brick and your great looking spit will now look like tooth picks. As i said warbirds are not forgiving planes to fly and are more likely to stall and snap on you that you may not be able to recover from. Also spitfires usually have a tendency to want to nose over on take off as the landing gear is so close together (more so if it is scale). If all you are flying now is a trainer leave the spit alone.
