Default Building Topflite Spitfire

Hi Cal,
Your probably right about the weight issue, l guess it makes it
that more important to control excess weight during construction
to allow more during the finishing stage. l had another suggestion today from a guy who finishes his planes with super
coverite iron on fabric, then a thin coat of clear dope and finally a
camo flat paint job. He swears by it and l saw his finished plane
that way today and l must say it looked great. l am told nose
weight in a TF Spit is gonna happen no matter what engine you
use, amount will vary depending on engine used. And the beat
goes on!
TTsboy l read in another thread that the TF kits are made to
fit Robarts, others have used Spring Air etc. but modifications are
needed how much l'm not sure. Search around for that subject its
in here somewhere. By the way nice Spitcrazy site.
