RE: Great Planes Combat Spitfire!
Welp, finally got to fly my spitty. Hand launching is a little rough. Takes it a bit to get enough speed up to start to climb. Thank god i launched over some really tall grass, cushioned the first two attempts as it didnt make it in the air. Once in the air, i love it tho. This thing is fast! Tracks well too. Not used to the speed have been flying EPP park flyers and an E-flite Eratix before this. The engine tries to stall alot and hasn't been running very good. Its a GMS .25. Loops and rolls it tries to flame out on me, hasn't yet tho. Dosen't come to the pipe unless im going straight and divng a little. I think it was due to a dirty fuel filter. Removed the filter and did a couple mods to the engine (drilled out fuel inlet like posted in that really long GMS thread, removed the remote needle valve and put it on the carb, and removed one of the copper gaskets under the head), it really screams now on my test stand. Hopefully in runs the same way inverted in flight. Great plane though, really tough and fast, cant wait to try it again.
