Initially, I was headed toward the Avios Spit Vb, for the scale features and the 6S powerplant. After thinking about it more, I'd decided that the scale features would only be ground scale gimmicks. Sure, it'd be really cool for everyone to gather around the Spit in the ground as I cycled the flaps, watched the yoke move with aileron and elevator input, and open the canopy. As I don't intend to fly it with a pan-n-tilt FPV system, those scale features have absolutely no value in flight. I'm not a speed-demon flyer. I do enjoy the occasional high-speed pass down the flight line, but I'm very much a mixed throttle flyer. So, the 6S 1450mm size isn't that great of a draw for me anymore. Bigger is bigger, no matter what else you do. Stabilizers make smaller planes fly like bigger planes, but bigger planes don't need stabilizers because they already fly like bigger planes, LOL.
This FLRC 1600mm Spit is clearly the right Spit for me. It'll be my first Spit as well, other than my belly-landing Alfa Spit Vb.---

I like Brandon would like to get an I update to the possible preorder. Originally l believe it was late Febuary and the last l believe was the painting molds also. Can Aros kindly give us some kind of word as to a possible closer month. I dont have alot of disposable income so i try to put up so much per month. If i had a general idea i could maybe buy another plane and have the money saved back for the preorder. Shouldnt also the avanti and the a10 be pn the boat. Will be hoping to hear a little something encouraging soon.Dewey l

Hey guys, this is drifting off topic a bit, and probably in the realm of dreaming, but what about a Buchon Me 109E kit that features two different nose options. If they can make a split fuse for the Tigercat, could they not do the same for an optional nose for the ME-109. I know it's all about the price point, but how many of us are going to buy two just to have both. Cheaper than manufacturing two different kits....Just a thought.
What does it take to hang up an airplane? Time, patience, and, if you’re lucky, some clever staff members. Watch as we hang our Hispano HA-1112 Buchón, a lic...

BTW Shirty, Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have a saying which I will convert to centigrade. In the spring, we say aaaaahhhh 15 degrees! and in the fall we say brrrrrrrrr 15 degrees! I guess it's all relative right? For us it's just about time to throw some shrimp on the barbee and get out my cozy mate!:bluecoolBrad
