TM Spitfire .60 ARF

I ordered this spit with few hesitations. After I opened the box I was relived. I have it for few weeks now and had 9 flights. Very good value for money even with the shipping costs!

The retracts are the only weak point and can be slightly bent in normal landing conditions.

It would be a good idea to reinforce the wing struts in the landing gear meeting points with epoxy\fiberglass. Small weight addition for a needed reinforcement.



It fly's great with my 90 4 strokes engine.

This aircraft went together very well - perfectly straight and true. The retract mechanisms were good and strong but the mounting points were strengthened as recommended by others.

I used a Quannum 36-70 KV1000 inrunner mounted in a graupner cylindrical mount fixed to the firewall. It was a perfect fit. Two LM 2250 4s cells in parallel give six minutes of excellent performance. Possibly the easiest aircraft I have ever maidened, in that no adjustments were made at all.

Highly recommended.

Great value for the money! Goes together so well, only plane that has taken 5 min. to fit the retracts. Love the fit of the wheel wells too, they actually conform to the shape of the wing...first time I have found this in a ARF. Quality right through, best money I have ever spent.
