Default Building Topflite Spitfire

:thumbup: Nice joint at leading edge l'm jealous! l am leaning
towards using flaps for realism and help at landing. A fellow club
member who owned one complained about having to come in very
hot to avoid stall and was hard on his and eventually sold it.
He also put his finger through his wing a few times but used
monokote not glass. l am undecided yet but is the strength of
the glass a good trade for the added weight and of course then
you are painting your project. Other posts on this subject warn of
a heavy plane never coming close to the advertised weight by TF.
That is one reason l went with a Saito 91 plus the awsome sound Warbird scale builders would cringe at the thought of using monokote instead of a camo paint job and they
are right but the ease of monokote is tempting, we'll see l have
time to make a decision. Thats it for now, time for some zzzzzz
l am going to the hobby shop in morning for a few items.
Who said xmas is over.
