MY PARKZONE SPITFIRE SMALL REVIEW
 
First of all , as you saw in my previous posts , this is my second plane , my first plane is a supercub from hobbyzone ,i flew the cub about 10 time.

Today was the semi perfect day to test the spitfire , there was a small wind , but not to strong , in fact some little wind can help sometime to take off.
I was really nervous for the first flight , so nervous that i took off back wind , i lost control of it and it crashed hard on tamac upside down. i broke off the rear of the plane.
Got back at home and glued and taped it , did a real solid job.
THen when it was all dry , got back to the field for a second try , but now i was really concentred , checked the wind , and i trow it at a good angle , not to high or to low , the plane took off REAL GOOD!!!!!!,,,,man i was amazed , its reallly different from the cub , but i was in control , had to tune it while it was in the air , it was going left , after i did adjust it , WOWW ...... so much fun , its faster than the cub and look so COOL. I tryed a couple of pass , fast and low ,,,some loop , some roll........ the plane is smoot to fly.
Can also do some slow pass , as for landing , really easy to do to. I LOVE IT!!!!!!
I recommand this plane for second plane , its a littlebit harder to fly for the first time , but when you get used with aileron , its AWESOME!!!!

I cant wait for the parkzone mustang P51 to get here .

That's awesome, QUESTO! I'm glad to hear that you're having so much fun with the Spitfire. Sorry to hear about the downwind takeoff, but unfortunately it seems we often learn from our mistakes.

Once you get comfortable with the warbirds, you might consider adding the F-27c Stryker to your shopping list. I think you'll really have fun with an 85mph+ flying wing.

Yeah , F-27c Stryker 85mph , this bird was in my shopping list.
Now im ready for the P51 , cant wait to fly it , dont know if it going to feel different from the spitfire.

I was using the B mode , acrobatic mode , controls are more responsive. the A mode look to smooth , didnt want to risk trying it.

It's ironic that the "safer" mode is often more likely to cause you to crash because you can't turn in time.

Have you tried any loops or rolls yet? Your Spitfire should be capable of most of the basic aerobatic manuevers.
