Official FlightLine RC 1600mm Spitfire Mk. IX Thread

[Shirty]

Agreed. A 109 is what I wan next, then a wildcat. ;)

[Starck Mad]

Pretty sure Adam and grossman made a typo, and they meant a wildcat. Sorry for any confusion motion, it's def a wildcat they wanted.
:)

Oh damn...did I misspell "Wildcat"?? Sorry Shirty!!;) Actually...Bearcat or Wildcat would make it in my hanger...

Not big on 109's but if it would make you happy brother I'm good with it! I'm so happy to get a big Spitfire that will do me for a while.

[Aros]

Would love, love, love a giant scale BF 109G... No warbird has made me more honest with my takeoffs and landings than the BF 109. Great fun and challenge to nail a 2 point greaser without the dreaded ground loop or wing tip salsa at the end.

It was definitely a typo. It's spelled 'FW-190D9'. ;)

[TSHobbies]

aw man this is killing me... we're in home buying mode, so my funds are on lock down. guess I'll have to wait till 2018 for this one.

I wish FlightLine would produce at least a 1400mm Beechcraft Stagger wing bipe -

The BeechCraft Stagger wing is one of my favorite planes besides the Spitfire, P-51D, Corsair, Spitfire P-40, B-17, FW 109, FW-190, Wildcat, Bearcat - the usual list.

Ordered my Spitfire a few days ago ,cant wait

[Dewey H Lee]

Hey TS i feel your pain. Im on a very limited income and had the money saved to get this plane. I really wanted it bad and have had to sacrifice alot to get the money. A few weeks ago i had my only transportation to mess up and had to spend the money to fix it. It broke my heart when the preorder came up and ive only been able to save part of the money to get it.:Crying2: Not only that people preordering two knowing that more will be coming soon. I just hope that its not over by next weekend and maybe i can get what i have really been wanting. If not i will just have to wait. Maybe there will be a preorder two. I really hope so.:(

I know what you mean. I have seen a few of these at Van Nuys and Camarillo airports. They are beautiful aircraft. I had one but it was very small and the performance was only so so. But the look of the plane was still fantastic.

Pilot Ryan on a presentation pass with the new FlightLineRC 1600mm Spitfire Mk.IX...

To get us in even more of a Spitfire mood, watch Ray Hanna's famous low pass... look at the picture at the end of the video...!!!

Cussing in this video so mind the volume button and any babies nearby.

[Grossman56]

That's enough to make a Priest swear !!

[Oxotnik]

Come on, Pilot Ryan and Cpt. Mike, we need a flight video!! :-)

[Grossman56]

Captain Kevin Fraser got some footage at Nefi, around 14:00 of Ryan flying the Spitty, he was having some difficulty with the camera, but check it out

Excellent flyer! So glad Kevin captured the maiden. That was thursday evening, NEFI started friday. I received it on wednesday finished the build thursday morning and then hit the road.

We took our official photos the other day, video is next. We can't wait to wring her out at our home field! You guys are going to love it!

[Shirty]

Can't wait to see it mate.
:)

Ps: Funny you giys call it a "presentation pass". We generally call it a "glory pass", or I personally like to call it a "lookatmyplane pass".

[benjack71]

is there any chance we could get a picture of the battery compartment/interior? Sound system possibilities.

[benjack71]

Oh, hell i just realized. The air scoops under the wings. Perfect place to put speakers! Yeah, this could be a fun one.

[Alpha]

Hey there Ben, one of us can get a photo for you soon. There's plenty of space for speakers inside the fuselage, otherwise the radiators would work, too. I'd think being enclosed would be better for resonance, but I'm not an expert in sound installs.
