Plans & Instructional video here: http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?4288-FT-Spitfire-Build&highlight=foamboard+weight
A word of caution - The foamboard I got is at least 1.5 times the weight of the foamboard used by the FT team. So the model worked out very heavy. The earlier two builds were from biofoam, and they were lighter than the FT versions.
Sir what is the scale or dimensions
Good starting
Build is pretty straightforward if you've built a few FT foamies
No scale colours here, went for visibility and orientation. Recently bought a bunch of coloured tape, so used it :D
Abhay, it is 42"span, so I guess 1/10th scale....not too sure though
Being maidened tomorrow morning. Join us at 7 onward, in front of IFFCO building, Sector 29. Join us :thumbsup:
Very nice build sir! {:)} {:)} {:)}
Even mine was too heavy , so i removed one side paper from depron so it almost came to FT Spitfire weight.
are those retractable LG sir?
Nice build. :bow:
Sir where did you get those landing gears?
The darn model worked out massively heavy, and tail heavy to boot :banghead:
Switched from a 2826-1400 KV to a 2836-1400 KV, extended the nose, and gave down and right thrust
Made a custom smaller power pod
front view is very nice
In case anyone is interested, I used this cheap L/G I had got from HK about a year ago. Was lying around gathering dust.
I don't think it can take a rough landing :(

Thanks Praveen, Aniket, Abhay. No, these are not retracts
Fitted up now. Praveen, next time I'll peel off one side of the paper. Thought about it, but was too difficult in the built state.
Lots of FT models now ;D
Good going sanjay sir {:)} :hatsoff: waiting for some more FT builds. :thumbsup:
Thanks Nitinraj

Thanks Arun :D
Yes, maiden was done, and rather successfully ;)
Flies real good. Decent glide too
It's a pleasure to fly a fast, sporty low-winger. Very tight loops and rolls too. No self-correction after turns, the pilot has to re-level.

Low passes are great - fast and level :)

For some reason the second video has come at 90 degrees :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:
very nice sanjay sir {:)} {:)} {:)} {:)}
Thanks Tushar :D
Nice build sir!!
Thanks Maahin. Long time!
When do we see you?
Coming back on the 20th of December.
{:)} {:)} {:)} nice sir i see you are an FT fan whats next
I wish you had applied a WW2 camouflage...................
Very Nice Sanjay Sir. Fantastic. {:)} {:)} {:)} {:)}
Thanks Roman :D
Currently building the low wing FT Racer. Next plan is the twin motor low winger Cruiser. Waiting on some HK parts (which are taking forever)
After that.......?? ;D ;D
VC sir, I did not do that because I had a doubt as to it's flying capability. In any case, the Supermarine camouflage is terrible for RC; sky colour below, green camo on top. I used that in a Guillows model. The Battle of Britain scheme is a little better from that viewpoint.
I'm cracking the Depron mysteries; figuring out how to live with the grams per square inch, and, one day, I promise, I will make that Spit in camo ;) ;) 8) 8)

Sandy :salute: :salute: :salute: Thanks a million :D
Sir Awesome build just can't stop admiring it.
You are building a lot of ft planes so why not go for the latest disney planes movie based planes The ft duster or the FT stinger
You know Sir this an awesome build really you can build any RC PLANE really hatsoff to you :hatsoff:
Thanks Nitesh, Aman.
Nitesh, I'm leaving the Disney stuff for you ;) :D :D
How is the foam working out? Any wrinkling or cracks? Do the wings flex when flying fast?
Not that I've noticed. With biofoam, I did have the Nutball wing fold up while doing aerobatics, but after repair/reinforcement it's fine. The Spit is solid.....and heavy, being made from the laminated foamboard
sir let me come to the level first
Ahhh Nitesh, once you start, you'll reach there and move ahead in no time. Just start - that's the key. Later you'll move into the 1th/12th, Board years; no time then
Your correct sanjay sir.Nitesh should do it in these days only.:) now i am in 9th sntandard but next year is 10th so board years. But then also i will give time to this hobby :)
you are right sir
