Then of course there was that "noisy" Spitfire that somehow had 2 flights, but no landings!

I told Darren that my quest was to actually land it on the strip and not in the trees.

EPO is wonderful stuff......so is epoxy.

Gday Andrew

You are making me very nervous re maidening my Spitty.

Rob,
"be afwaid...be vewwy vewwy afwaid!"

Seriously, the stock spitty is fine to fly, it's light with plenty of grunt. It floats suprisingly well on landing. Mine, however, is about 0% heavier with an extra battery, sound system, metal retracts...... and LOTS of epoxy, So it REALLY needs speed. I'm putting flaps on it at the moment. Darren suggested "scale-like" split flaps for the drag, but I have gone with simple flaps to give it a lower landing speed. (The sound system in flight is AWESOME!!).
