Default RE: Great Planes Combat Spitfire GP/EP ARF

Great Planes includes a fiberglass cowl and lightweight, balsa/ply main structures covered in MonoKote™ film. The Spitfire comes already covered with five colors of MonoKote film that represent a typical trim scheme of the World War II Allied fighter. Decals shown are included and die-cut for easy application. You can assemble this model for belly landings or with the fixed wire landing gear provided — and mount your aileron servos and linkages on the top or bottom of the wing.

For my review, I'll be using a RimFire brushless electric power system. This is made from a [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXLWU1&P=V]GPMG4600[/link] Great Planes Rimfire 35-30-1450 out-runner brushless motor, [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0001P?&I=LXKSY6&P=V]GPMM1840[/link] Great Planes Silver Series 45A brushless ESC, and a [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVSEARCH=GPMP0623&FVPROFIL=++&search3=Go]GPMP0623[/link] ElectriFly 3200mAh (20C) 3-cell LiPo battery.

The Spitfire requires four stong servos like the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0095p?FVSEARCH=HCAM0111&FVPROFIL=++&search3=Go]HCAM0111[/link] Hobbico CS-12MG Servo with Hi-Speed and Metal Gears.
