Beautiful Spitfire

Sep 12, 2023

Fantastic model with lots of scale details. Looks authentic, and flies nicely like the real one (as far as I can tell, I have not flows real Spitfire..) Scale details are amazing in this class - nice looking realistic size, placed and angled retracts (many other models have too small tires, and retract placed wider that the real destroying the Spitfire looks) , authentic split flaps including the small moving doors for the flap pushrod/horn on the top, led lights, the cockpit with nice dials and even moving control stick! (needed an extra servo for that). Realistic look and size propeller, etc, etc. Quite easy to put together although manual is not describing all the details well. Biggest task is to place the decals. I did on my model some further scale enhancements like partial pilot seat and some weathering like exhaust smoke stains and made the radio mast removable for easier and safer transport. I have flown it few times now and overall it is surprisingly stable for a RC warbird. I have done and flown quite many and this is from the most gentle one to handle. Takeoff is easy, not need to use the whole power and not much torque roll issue. The motor, 6 cell power line and big 3 bladed prop pulls the plane with authority, there is really much reserve power. In the air my model tend to raise nose quite easily even I think CG is ok, I needed to trim it down quite much. There does not seem to be much down thrust for the engine, maybe that is why it likes to pull up a bit. Landing is quite easy as well, no tendency to stall surprisingly. Noses down quite easily on landing if grass is a bit longer. In my model one of the aileron servos centers poorly, I may need to replace it at some point although I have flown with it without much issue. Overall very positive, 1 star minus because of the servo and some other small issues.

Great size that allows for some awesome scale details you’d usually expect in much larger and more expensive aircraft. I dont so fpv but the plane even came with a pan and tilt setup. Still assembling and adding my own touches but really look forward to the maiden

Tolles Scalemodell mit ordentlich Power

Aug 03, 2020

Sehr gute Verarbeitung, gute Komponenten und viel Spaß beim Fertigstellen und Fliegen. Den beigefügten Regler hab ich nicht benutzt und direkt gegen einen Neuron Regler von Frsky ausgetauscht. Aber nur wegen der Telemetrie, regeln kann der mitgelieferte Regler sicher auch gut. Habe einen maximalen Strom von 50-55A und auch der BEC Strom ist mit maximal 3-4A im normalen Bereich. 7min gemischte Flugzeit ergeben einen Verbrauch von ca.2200mA. Bei dem eingesetzten 4000mAh 6S Lipo sollten also gute 9 min Flugzeit mit genügend Reserve möglich. Fliegerisch ist die Spitfire nicht sehr anspruchsvoll. Nur Start und Landung wegen des engen Fahrwerks etwas knifflig. Hab hier ein wenig modifiziert und auf dem Flügel etwas Plastik aufgeklebt damit sich die Radverkleidung hierauf abstützt, die Mechanik eher stoppt und damit der Radstand etwas breiter wird.
Der von mir eingesetzte Turnigy Heavy Duty 4000mAh 6s 60c wiegt 675g und macht mind. 10g Blei im Heck notwendig. Der Lipo wird nicht mal handwarm, daher wäre auch weniger C-Rate mit weniger Gewicht machbar.
Das einzige was mir wirklich fehlt ist eine passende Pilotenpuppe, Platz ist genug vorhanden. Bei den Rädern unbedingt die zweiteilige Felge verkleben.
Ansonsten völlig zufrieden.

MTO Spitfire

Mar 22, 2020

Nice plane, finish is a little rough. Instructions appear to be complete until you come to the wiring...not a single word about what to connect where, especially the LED lights, of which the leads are too short. Also no mention of where to place the rcvr.
