Moderation in all things my Brothers.

One deep fried Oreo instead of two...

Just had a bite of one at our State Fair a week or so ago. Not bad, but the line to get one was long.

Fair Food is not for everyday consumption....

Best, LB

Yes, it is good to partake of "Fair Food" when you get the opportunity sometimes, but always in moderation! It's part of the fun and experience of the State Fairs around our country.

So, who is planning on using the new P-51 prop and spinner on the Spit? You would go from a 16x10 to a 16x12 prop.

I’m happy with my stock spit.

I am happy enough with the stock prop, ground clearance on grass is fine and it gives enough power with the 390kv motor. I believe the P51 is 340 kv motor. I suppose if you went to the bigger prop on the 390 kv motor it would be wise to test it out with a power meter to ensure it stays within the amp limits of the stock esc

Why?

Also spinner dia will probably be bigger and look awkward so I doubt anybody would do a swap

It's interesting that you fellas are talking about this Spit and the P-51 motor. In fact, it is this Spitfire's motor that I had to get for my old FMS P-51 1700mm as they do not list it for the FL P-51. However, because it comes with the prop adapter for the Spit, I also had to get the prop adapter for the P-51 (different lengths). It's weird that's how they do it that way instead of just listing the same motor but with the P-51 prop adapter. They just don't have the motor in the P-51 parts list.

I added a wing hold-down (rear) piece to my collection of 3D printable odds and ends for this Spit.
