The door hinge is actually on both sides. See the picture showing the door hinge on the correct side (port).
The mold maker changed the drawing without telling us, thinking it was a mistake that we had omitted it on the starboard side. An unfortunate quirk, but not worth making a new $40k mold to rectify a hinge line most people wouldn't notice, and if they did, is a 1 minute fix to shave down. This is one of the reasons why I didn't claim it was 100% scale.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

A big biplane would be neat! We've demonstrated that the 1600mm+ class of twin warbirds is a viable market category, as he had established with the 80mm/$299 pricepoint for EDFs, and the Super Scale Series of 90mms. I think a reenvisioned 1500mm-1600mm class of single engine propeller driven aircraft at the price range we're talking ($349 on the high end) is also viable. It is less about category domination, and more about category diversity. I want big stuff, tiny stuff, and every financially sustainable size in between.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

I've always liked the real Spit, but have never liked any of the foamies. Everyone one of those Spits had tipsy ground handling due to the stance and wheels. The things that caught my eye about this one is -- 6s, 1600mm, easy break down, oversized wheels and designed with grass operation in mind. I may have to change my mind about this foamie Spit.
First, the 80mm A-10. Now this. I hope the tax man will be generous with me this year.
