Clark 1/4 Spitfire
Hi, does anyone have any experience with this kit? It's very expensive, but also looks very detailed too.
Was wondering if anyone has built one, or knows someone who has, and what they have to say about it and the engine that comes with it.
Thanks!

RE: Clark 1/4 Spitfire
We are flight testing one this week end so I will be able to give you a flight report.
Check this out for how forgiving the model is. Man I thought this Spittty was going in a couple of times but it just kept on flying.

I'll get back to you.

RE: Clark 1/4 Spitfire
Yes, that is my Spitfire on that Youtube link. I found the engine/prop combination to be less than satisfactory. The 26x8 3 blade just didn;t have the umph to really haul it around. It is true it is more scale in appearnace, but I would prefer aX 2 blade for flying, or at least a 24x10 3 blade to get the RPM up. i never got over 5800 RPM on the groun, but with so little pitch, the plane would not get out of it's own way. The video does show the stability of a great model, however.

It will be worth waiting for.

sorry mate []
at least you can build, yeah tell me about time.
I just got back from the storage place to get my old R700 and NER-649 Rx which had just sold on ebay. At least I could get at the chest of drawers they were in!
cheers
