RE: Dynaflite 81" Spitfire
You won't be dissapointed with this bird. It's one of the best flying fun scale planes around. I've had more people ask me who makes it and they're pretty bummed when they find out it's discontinued. Mine weighs in at 16 lbs, covered with super coverite/chevron paint, powered with an OS 1.60FX and it really hauls it around. Definitely go with the Robart retracts (Oleo version) made for this kit if you can still get them. I've been flying mine now for 5 years with a few hard landings and no problems with the gear. Two structural changes I recommend are to beef up the fuselage to stab area and also beef up the stab itself. It's all open frame construction and the stab will not hold up to high speed dives. Flaps are not necessary but would be nice to have. Other than that dress it up a bit with wing fillets, blisters, guns, and scoops. Here's a couple of pics of mine.
