DB MK1a Spitfire

 

This Spitfire Is fitted with fataba gear as standard but with a heavy duty servo for the elevator.

...........

The Engine is a 42 US petrol engine from Tower hobbies in America.

Fitted with a trumpet which will give you an extra 500 rpm, which is quite a lot with petrol engines.

The decal set was supplied by DB Scale .

..............

As with most and also the real thing the Spitfire does not track along the ground to well so alot of attention was spent on the undercart system

.........

But once in the air this model is a pussy cat to fly and the wide wing is looks great in the distance.

And on a dead stick,she is a great glider and does not want to come down.

This model has since been update by DB Scale with flaps which means a lot less walking to retrieve the plane
