Great video, looks like a great flyer.

Can't wait to get mine!!!

Hey Tony. I set the timer for 5 minutes of hard flying and still come down at between 30 and 40% or around 3.8 a cell. If I take it easy and just scale fly and stay in the pattern shooting landings I can safely get 8 minutes and have the same results. Super efficient!

Hi Ryan,
Can you tell me the weight of the 5000 lipo and where did you place it, almost forward, middle? Is it possible to use heavier packs, Thank you

He mentioned in the video "5000 all the way forward" :Cool:

The reason i'm asking that because i'm planning to order some 920 gr. lipos and i don't know if this will influence the CG.

Oh I see!

This is the one he uses in the video (Admiral 5000mah), if yours is 920g its almost double the 5000. What brand is that? Seems very heavy. The Admiral Specs are below,

Weight	482g / 1lb, 3.80oz
Length	155mm / 6.10in
Width	46mm / 1.81in
Height	30.25mm /1 .19in
Wire Gauge	12
ESC Connector	XT60 Connector

Pulled this video from someone on the RCGroups pages for this bird. The pilot really tones down the flight for a sweet scale appearance. Enjoy!

Hello Antony and thanks , I have never seen/flown a Spitfire in this category so far ... stall testing and the RC pilot is impeccable ;)

franky,

Watching these two videos Ryan has his Admiral 5000's all the way forward. As you can see on the first video there is PLENTY of room to move a heavier battery aft if it's needed.

Don't want to be a picker of nits but I believe this Spit uses a 6s battery and a 5000mah, 6s is around 730g. So, he's only about 200 grams more. I think such a battery would easily work if it's shoved back further since Ryan says his 5000mah was all the way forward.

Too late

hahaha LOL:):Cool:

In all seriousness though, you are correct in that it is not much over. I wasn't telling him he couldnt, just passing along the Admiral info. Apologies if it came across that way, Franky :spitfire

Thanks Ryan, I like the ability to watch all the tests ... and especially when the ratings are very similar.

No big deal, first i was confused about the 4S story but than i download the manual and it was recommend as 6S, Thats why i was intend to order the heavier packs. Maybe 6000 lipos for longer flighttimes,
although the 5000 flighttimes are nice. I'm only doubting about the width cause idon't want to cut the foam. Anyway thanks for support.
