The trouble is the ARFs you been building but don't let it get you down, when finished you will know again why you went through the trouble of building from sticks.

I go through it all the time with all my warbird builds, get tired of just looking at all the work that needs to be done. However when it is finished, really appreciate it a lot more than any ARF.

I'll be doing a BT Spitfire Mk IX myself next after finishing my Fliteskin 109F. I'm procurring all the needed matierials at the moment. I'll be using Sierra gear(mains and tail), Glennis Wheels, Hacker A80, CC ICE HV160, Thunder Power Cells, Benedini sound... I'm playing with the idea of a Solo Prop, but I'm concerned about the p-factor created by a 4 blade prop and the Hacker motor's.


I hope to start mine this spring...I'm glad to have another to follow.

After crashing a p47 on a maintenance flight this pilot was transferred to a spitfire squadron defending Malta.

He looks like a seasoned veteran but I never trust them after they crash.

tfarmer96

ya i hope hes better in the spitfire

Yea, Homer Simpson's career as a pilot is over after he crashed this one. You have to give the guy credit though, when he crashes he goes all out. Low 8 point roll with wrong stick input, total loss......

Nice build Terry, can I ask where you got the hatch hinges you are using for the door. I am having trouble getting my Ziroli Spit hatch to work properly. Those hinges look like they might solve my problem. Thanks, Kevin.

Hi........came across this old thread and couldn't help but comment. Nice shot of the Spitfire MKIX. I was in Malta last year and I visited the War Museum and noticed this Spitfire MKIX, it's a beauty. The Museum is located at Ta'Kali which by the way was used by the RAF during and after WWII.
Close by the Museum is the Malta's Modelers Flying Field, using the same airfield the RAF Spitfires used. A bit of imagination and you could almost hear the old Spitfires take off on their missions.
I've uploaded a couple of pictures, more of close-up of the RAF Spitfire , and part of what it used to be RAF TA'KALI airfield.

Tfarmer.............great job mate ! looks fatastic in flight.

Garthwood

By the way, excellent documentation on your build.

tfarmer96

Thanks. This spit is such a easy flyer and is fast with a 50 cc in the nose.

tfarmer96

got the chance to get her out and fly this weekend. Here are some photos with the stacks on it.
