Ok all you KMP Spitfire owners that have fitted a gasser into it...
Post some pictures and comments about your experience for the rest of us that are considering a similar configuration.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hey Jeff
did you order a gasser for your spitfire?

Jeff S.

My Feedback: (1)

Not yet. So far the plan is to go with the 26cc from RCS. I think they call it the SV 26.
In fact, here is the link.

I would like to hear what others have to say about it.

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

Did you get a chance to talk to KMP? Will it fit completly inside the Cowl?

Jeff

Scoubidou

My Feedback: (17)

Yes i did and it does not fit completely in cowl.

I did some search and like you know, the spit has norrow cowl and the only gasser that would fit could be the 26 CC Jen but at 325$ US without shipping and without muffler is to much pricy for me.

I don't care if the engine head sticks out the cowl and it's better for cooling anyway. At 219$ muffler included for the RCGF, you can't beat that.

I would be curious to see if the Jen's muffler fit on the RCGF engine to get the best of both world...

So the biggest problem is with the muffler? Did you get your engine yet? How is the fit?
You might try [link=http://www.jtecrc.com/]JTEC[/link] for a custom wrap around muffler. They advertize that they will build Custom mufflers. I think they are the same price as normal production mufflers.

Send some photos. I would love to see how everything fits.

Thanks,
Jeff

The packing is very good and it comes in double box. The finish and paint is outstanding. I am really impressed by this kit.

The RCGF 26 is very light and small. Iam prety sure it will fit without to much cut into the cowl, if i give it a litle angle.

Hello
When i bolted the engine and checked the CG , the Spitfire needed 1 pound in the nose to balance to the recommended CG??

I have to much project ongoing right now and i decided to pass this project to one my flying body (Mike Gravelle) and he is doing a great job.

Is your Spitfire pictured one of the latest models KMP is producing? It looks like it is a different color than the one on their website.

Scoubidou

My Feedback: (17)

It should be the same , i bought mine last fall
Here is the bottom left wing

Scoubidou's photos are the right colors. The KMP web site photos are either distorted or a prototype finish.

Soubi-

I'm looking forward to see how your engine fits. I chose the same engine but ended up using an OS 120 AX. I could not see any way to not cut into the side of the cowl. If you can get it to fit I might just modify mine. I'm using a 3500mAh SR battery for much of my nose weight.

No problems
I'll update you in the progress.

Good idea about the 3600ma Nicad pack. I wanted to use A123 1100mA but i'll keep it for my DA-100.

I got a email from KMP and the new Spitfire's do have a different color. They are not the same color as the original ones.

tevans55

I know the originals did not have the invasion stripes because I almost bought one at a swap meet recently but the camo looked to be the same colors. Maybe there are other older versions.
