Default flight-models spitfire 60 size

I received a spitfire arf by flight-models as a gift today. Anyone had any experience with this airplane? It looks great in the box, but I am wondering about it's flying qualities. Thanks for any comment, Logair

Yes, It has a web site. Go to www.flight models.com. It is a rendition of a later mk Spitfire with the bubble canopy. The quality of the airplane is very good. nice covering with camo paint, retracts,all hardware, wheels, engine mount, cowling etc. The airplane appears to be of genaric nature of later marks with bubble canopy.

Sorry, To be more specific try this one. www.flight-model.com you will have to type in the search word spitfire 60 and it will bring it right up. I have found a problem with the retract gear location on my airplane. The instructions and their web site shows a scale gear location as per typical spitfire, but my wings have the retract mounts toooo far aft and also a wide stance to the gear. in my opinion that is not going to cut it. Part of the spitfire look is it's narrow tract gear, or should I say undercarriage. The number of the arf is F004 Logair

Found it that time. Not a bad looking plane. You might just have to relocate the gear forward to where you want it. The gear placement looks to far aft to me and would only make take-off and lands a nose over event.

Looks just like the World-Models Spit .60.
