RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

Due to time contraints I haven't been able to post, but I flew my Spitfire a couple of weeks ago. For the most part, mine performed pretty much like ronht's. The differences I had was that mine...

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

No maiden yet. Waiting on the weather, it's been raining on and off, low ceilings, just plain miserable. Work has also been demanding.

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

Lifer: good catch on the ignition lead, its been rerouted.

Capt: I balanced the Spit tonight, it was a little nose heavy, but not the same experience that you had. I'm looking at maybe an...

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

I didn't bother with the floor, can't really see anything anyways. The pilot really fills up the cockpit.

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

Now you tell me! LOL! I didn't even think to attach the muffler after installing the cowl. My exhaust tubes extend just a tad below the cowl. I'm concerned the exhaust heat will deform the dummy...

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

Capt, I like what you did there. One big question though, how did get he cowl over the exhaust tubes?

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

OK, took the Spit to the field this evening to run the engine and do some taxiing tests. It took a some effort to get the engine running, but after putting some fuel in the cylinder, we finally got...

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

Thanks for the heads up on the CG. Not that there's too much you can do differently, but is your Spit assembled as recommended? Also when you say the CG is close, which way is it off? I'll post my CG...

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

Great idea lifer! That's what I was looking for. The largest diameter they have is 5/8" and I don't know if that will fit over the exhaust outlets, they're 22mm. I'll have to give them a closer look....

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

I'll try to get some posted this weekend.

Does anybody have a quick/easy way to extend the exhaust tubes? Mine extend just barely below the cowl and I'm hoping the exhaust heat doesn't have a...

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

RE: Top Flite Giant Scale Spitfire ARF

My Spit is almost ready to go. I went with the recommended servos and a R6014HS Rx, 14SG Tx, DLE55 side exhaust and Robart electric retracts. If the JTEC P51 muffler isn't available, you can use the...
