Default RE: Spitfire question

Completely agree with GeeBeeJim, I had a BT Mk14 with clipped wings, in Belgian colours, liked it on the ground, but once in the air, although it seemed to fly as well as the other full wing BT Spitfires I have had, it just didn't look right. After only a couple of weeks, I gave it tips, new ailerons and the other changes and turned it into this PR19. Back to looking good in the air too. I can confirm though, having flown the same model with and without tips, that there is not much difference, apart from the clipped version rolled quicker, or seemed to.
