    Happy New Year!!! Maiden successful. I moved 6S 5000mAh into nose as possible and add 35g of extra weight. Just only little trim elevator up.

    I went thru the manual once more and probably I will set the CG at 85mm and also use smaller control rates. She will need some extra weight. Also on the FL B24 I moved the CG little closer to L.E.

    I'm still waiting for better weather so I did only some cockpit parts such as gunsight, spade grip with brake lever and canopy latch.

    Very nice cockpit parts!

    Of course I have several 3D printers in our workshop. I am going to use only the CAD designs from our office.

    PK, again great work. I had designed and then redesigned extra cockpit parts for my Flightline Spittie, as well as some semi-scale Seafire Conversion Parts; however, your parts appear to be "spot-on".

    Do you have a 3DP Printer or access to one? Also, do you have the original MotionRC OEM Spitfire Cockpit STL FIles?

    Best, LB

    Since Mk.VII there were not 3 blade props.
    Nevermind I will replaced them by the labels I did last year for Spitfires.

    Anybody knows, why there are Hamilton prop logos on the prop? I suppose, that Spitfre props were not made by Hamilton.

    Anyone happen to have a spinner for one of these? My son biffed his and they're out at Motion. What alternatives work with this plane/motor? TIA for answers or a spinner!

    Happy Holidays!
