RE: Phoenix Spitfire .40 ARF
I picked one up a couple of months ago, but haven't flown it yet. I'm converting it to an electric capable of 1300 watts of power. The quality of the plane is top notch. It even comes with a painted pilot and this a true arf. Most of the work is already done, including the hinging. Not sure if this is to scale as the fuselage looks to be a little short compared to my ripmax scale spitfire version. The weight of the plane is a concern, 7lbs for a 55" warbird is a bit hefty. However, it is a warbird and with 1300 watts of power on tap, I don't think it will be an issue. I should be done building it in a couple of weeks. Waiting on some machine screws to attach the motor. Will give an update on the first flights. Hopefully, it will go well.
