Has anybody flown one of these yet? I just finished mine tonight, gonna maiden it in the morning.

My setup is a Turnigy SK 50-55 580KV motor with Thunder Power V2 4400mah 5S battery. I used a separate servo for each retract so I could program them individually.

The only mod I made to mine was I used a light pull-pull rudder system to save on 10 grams weight. Those CF tubes with metal rods are twice the weight of a good pull-pull setup.

Hopefully it survives the maiden. It came in at exactly 7 lbs, which is heavy for this plane, but that's the same weight as my CMP P51 50 sized plane and it flew fine with this exact setup.

The maiden will be with a 2-blade 13x10 prop, and if it goes well I'll convert over to my 3-blade setup. I found a nice aluminum 3-blade spinner at www.atsrcplanes.com. Very nice people at that shop.

Anyway, I guess I'll be the first, unless anybody knows of another thread or forum where someone has already flown. I sure don't like being the guinea pig.

I've got a second one in the box, just in case.


P.S.

If anybody is interested, I created a nice custom cockpit graphic for my Spit. I posted it up in the RCGroups forum in the Spit thread. Feel free to print it out on your color printer, cut it out, and glue it into your cockpit.

Here's the thread & a pic. It's post #100
