Dru --

I'm sorta surprised to hear someone say their Spit flew so well. I had a ST .40 in mine and, even though it balanced right on the money, it was a squirrelly son-of-a-gun. Always wondered if it was a design flaw because all the parts were molded from foam so the incidences, etc. were already factory set. Could be they made changes in later production runs. I think the one I had was one of the first ones (as I recall, the Spit kit had just come out). Sure Flight had such a good reputation for ARF foam kits, I thought this one would be great, too. Their Piper Cub and Cessna were just great. The Spit was too much of a handfull and I wound up trading it to someone that liked things dicey when they flew - after I repaired the top of the vertical stab, which was ground off when it snap rolled onto the runway on it's first landing! As I recall, it made one snap roll on final about 30 feet high, but recovered. Then it snapped again into the runway from about 10 feet! You just could not slow it down at all. Too much for me!

I found a couple more pics. Here's one of the better half holding it.
