RE: The complete YELLOW AIRCRAFT SPITFIRE thread.
Hello Gents,
I have a YA Spitfire just about to maiden fly here. It was built 'stock' with a full cockpit. (Wish I'd read here before building). I have a new SuperTigre 3000, Italian version, for power. The AUW, with 3 1/4 pounds of lead, is 24 3/4 pounds.
I was wonder on thoughts as to the flight performance I could expect. Will it fly reasonable or be a dog? To me, a resonable flying airplane needs to be able to do a reasonable loop from level flight.
Does anyone have some thoughts or advice for the test flight? Anything that these bird do that could bite you if your not expecting it? weird snap or stall? something like that.
Now, I do have have a MOKI 1.8 that has a fair bit of running time. Would it be better than the new ST 3000? The ST 3000 has a half a gallon or so of fuel through it. Thoughts on a power change?
thanks for the assistance,
