RE: Parkzone Spit - any pre-maiden advice?
Use the FMS, its really helps a lot. I got the FMS and spent a few hours learning to fly. I bought the PZ Spitfire and flew for the first time last weekend. I left it on the low rate setting and it flew fantastic. It really is an easy plane to fly. I had a little trouble with my landings (i.e too fast) and had to do a few go arounds but the plane is still in one piece.
I guess I shoudln't really be giving advice but just practice on the FMS, use the low rates and don't over-control the plane. Oh and it helps to have a spotter if you get disorientated.
Good luck!!
