thank you very much for the tips Andrew , I also found a good thread on the RCgroups forums with lots of good tips on how to modify and improve the Spitfire. Have a look here: LINK CLICK HERE if you have not seen it.
I tried the spitfire on the phoenix 2.5 and I am surprised to hear about the right rudder on take off u r referring to as thats exactly what was happening on the simulator. After few take offs, I got used to it and apply a decent amount when going up and then slowly let it go as u clear the ground. Its pretty cool.
I think it will be a while till I fly the spitfire though, I might keep practicing with the Cessna and the P51-D. And, ehm, by some accident I just purchased the YAK-54 from HK, its so cheap, I cant resist!!!! Reason why I got it is I wanted a small plane I can fly at the park which is literaly next to my house
