Hello,

I'm trying to but a spitfire kit for a .40 size engine. Do any of you guys know where I could find one? I tried major places like tower hobbies or hobby lobby but can't find anything.

Sure Flite has a nice flying all foam kit for a .40. Its a good looking airplane and goes together super easy. sureflite.com Don

The great planes kit has been discontinued.

I managed to pick up one second-hand NIB, and am going to be building it myself this winter.

I have not been given much feedback about the kit, it seems that there are relatively few of them flying (which is why it was discontinued). I am going to put it together, and see for myself.

If it is anything like the rest of GP's kits, it should be fine.

Just thought I would tell you that it was discontinued, and not easy to come by.
