Phoenix Models Spitfire ARF 55"?
 
I am thinking about getting the Phoenix Models Spitfire ARF for my OS52 four stroke and would like to know if anyone has any experience/owns one. I already have all the servos (including the retract one), so being that is inexpensive, I would like to buy it as my first warbird.

Thanks,
Ed

i had one of these and in my opinion the 52 4 stroke wont be enough. mine came ot a little over 7.5 pounds with an os 46 two stroke. and needed to be flown at 3/4 throttle minimum. 70 four stroke or 55ax 2stroke would be my recomendation. also go more towards front of cg range as mine was a little tail hevy. hope this helps.

Thanks.....I guess I will wait until I get my hands on a 70. I have a 52 and a 91, but not one in between.

If the CGworks out with the 91, I'd use it!
