Default RE: Phoenix Models Spitfire ARF

I looked at the pict. but that is all I know about the plane.....
the price and that fct that Towerhas great shipping rates, or lack of shipping charge.... 25 off and the retracts, will make this a attractive offer for some...
Throw a 51 ST with a tuned pipe and you should have a plane that is fun to fly and is a fun-fly- stand off sclae to boot....
I do know that they cover in H9 oracote
the hardwere will all be metric and you will want to uprade it....
The other thing to wonder about is the retracts..... Will they hold up?
At least they have tried to do so... I have no idea what there wood work is like and if it is quality or not.....
I do know that you may be better off with a CMpro spitfire from Nitromodels.com.. These have fiberglass fuses and look faily good...

And all ARF's are made in china (for the most part) Seagull models are made in Veitnam...
