I changed my mind about the rivets on radio hatch. RR Handy, you were right!!
I assembled the wings and fuselage to do some last rivets. Now she looks like in winter camo

[kallend]

one simple rule for this project: "Less is more." :

That's why I'm not putting any 'rivets' on mine.

[Prekin]

Need rivets around that too.

And my dorsal lamp isn't driven by the blue box, it's a morse signalling lamp with its own controller.

Ok thanx thought as much

MPX stands for "Multiplex". It's a european model brand. They make well known high quality plug such as these https://www.amazon.fr/ENET-Connecteu...7094298&sr=8-2

[f4u ausie]

Im a dummy,, whats a mpx

[Prekin]

That´s it. We do not use their blue box. 2 MPX connectors for almost whole wings are much easier!

I use control ratio according to FL manual. I added some extra weight in nose, well she needs some trim elevator up.
But only one postion of flaps (like in real Spitfire, just for landing)

From attached picture you can see full flaps and elevator mix.
Going to more open the flaps than I had on maiden.

To Corsair... mate from airfield has probably another FL Corsair. There are 4 screws in the wings. I thought you have the same Flightline F4U.

Yes mine is 1600 fline corsair.. at a guess 2 or 300 flights.. with the spit,, it just looks painful removing the ail flap gear wire, from blue box on the wing.. 3 extentsion wires , from receiver,, will make it easier

[Prekin]

Do u use the book mix...?. And rates

What is more difficult than on Corsair wings? Corsairs wings are on 4 screws and on Spitfire 5 screws.

Not the atatchment ,,just the wiring.. corsair has 2 nice ribbon cables

[Elbee]
