Official FlightLine RC 1600mm Spitfire Mk. IX Thread

[crxmanpat]

Having recently purchased the new A-10 (gets here tomorrow!), the upgraded 8S Yak-130, and the upgraded 12bl Me-262, I'm going to hold off on pre-ordering this beautiful Spitty. It will be in my hangar eventually, probably later this year. So, there will be an extra one available for someone else to pre-order. ;)

Peorder. Preorder. Preorder. Preorder Is there a pattern developing here.

Motion RC Your Killen me smalls! LOL pre-order That Spitfire

[Grossman56]

Seems to be a bit of a delay on this bird, originally it was supposed to be out around the same time as the Avanti if I recall.
Yeah, just looked at the first page, February !!
No wonder everyone is getting nervous and itchy:Angry::Sick2:

Im keen as to get my hands on this bird, but happy to wait whilst they get it right. In the meantime, I'll just have to play with the avanti and a-10. :)

[Aros]

There's been some minor delays that have to do with ensuring that the quality is what we demand. Our first priority is making a model we can stand behind so rest assured the delays are for good reason and will guarantee the best possible Spitfire once she's in your hands.

:Cool:

[Shirty]

Two classics... ;)

[Grossman56]

I hear you, just curious as to why the long delay and I agree wholeheartedly that the planes should meet your/our expectations before it's released.

Im with Dan
at least on the a10 there was some word always coming back with a reason from Alpha coming on to give some assurances. But with this one its been dead. Shoot im super happy for all the a10 guys but there are some that this bird is just as important to. It would be nice to hear something besides im sure it will be in a couple of weeks and then that never happens. Juat some insight as to whats going on would be great. Great birds are no good if there not in your hanger.

[horsefeetky]

as i remember they stated that now pre orders start when the container is filled so i know the next container is getting filled up with the second a10 batch so i think the spit will be posted very soon. im ready it looks amazing and even though i bought the new avanti and it is a perfect edf im wanting the spit even more to fly this year.

[Aros]

I wish I knew. Alpha would have that information but with his 16-18 hour work days (I'm not kidding) his availability is limited at the moment. If I get any additional intel I will be relaying it to you guys just as soon as I get it. We are always appreciative of your patience and understanding.

[Shirty]

All good with me, I've waited literally years for a nice big foamy spitty, I can wait a little longer. Appreciate how busy you guys must be with the avanti and a-10 on top of your normal business. Keep up the good work, loving the bigger models you're releasing, thank you!

[Shirty]

In the meantime, this one is awesome. Enjoy!

Father's Day is this Sunday. I'd really like something in Mark IX and size 1600. I'm just saying... ;)

otherwise, I may be stuck with another god-awful tie!!! :Confused:

[Aros]

Here's the latest...We are hoping to have the pre-order in the next week or so. We are waiting for the notification that the container is on the water so we don't have to change the ETA on you. Sorry, not in time for Father's Day but it's coming soon!

[Plastic_Aviator]

Nice! Really looking forward to this bird. :)

[ryramZ]

Our production version for photos and video should be here this week. I'm hoping tomorrow maybe Thursday. Might be Unboxing at NEFI
