Title: Slope Soaring Spitfire by Mark
Post by: b4ggu on March 31, 2015, 12:42:41 AM

Hi ,
I share this video with you all...Tim Mackey and the designer Mark Kettle first test fly a model Spitfire before it is decorated, Flown of the cliff slopes at The Great Orme North Wales.


I hope Mark will expand on this and come up with a powered version soon....



Spitfire test flown this week here's the video.

Hello Deepak, yes I can add to the details it's 40" span and 22 oz in weight that's with 5 oz of lead in the nose for balance, with electric power it should go well, it flew in very low wing conditions and with power should be fine even if it goes a little heavier.

On the balancer:
