RE: 1/7 Full body pilot

I had the same issues finding a 1/7 scale pilot for my Spitfire so I decided to make my own. I found a cheap soldier action figure at a dollar store about 9 or 10 inches in height with a molded...

RE: Topflite Spitfire...Finally done!

Hi Malpeake,

That paint scheme will look very cool. One of my coworkers has an uncle that flew Spitfires in Malta in that same paint scheme. I think its cool to model airplanes after...

RE: Topflite Spitfire...Finally done!

Luigi,

At full power mine also flies very fast, so fast that I worry about the wing spar failing and my plane becoming a missile![X(] It flies great at about 1/2 to 3/4 power. My first...

RE: Topflite Spitfire...Finally done!

Hi Luigi, your Spitfire looks great!...Mine is about 10 lbs now. I had to add a little weight in the nose after its maiden flight to balance it better. The Saito 100 I have is more than enough...

RE: Topflite Spitfire...Finally done!

Hi ChuckW,

RE: Topflite Spitfire...Finally done!

The Spitfire's maiden was successful!

The Saito 100 pulled it quite nicely once it was trimmed. It did have a few scary moments including the takeoff as it torque rolled a fair amount but I...

RE: Topflite Spitfire...Finally done!

Actually, the radiators are covered in mesh wire for detail. I have thought about adding the radio antenna and possibly the carburetor air scoop. The problem is, when do I stop adding scale...
