Hey James, Thank you for the kind words and acknowledgments with regard to my modified Spitfire. I built it from August-December 2018. It is meant to replicate a Seafire F.45 variant which is basically a 'navalized Mk.21 Spitfire'. I did not modify the fuselage nose profile to match the Griffon engine, though I did mod the wing tips to match the updated profile adopted for the Mk XV wing plan and added a couple degrees of washout. I 'pointed up' the rudder and added 3/4" to the aft portion to increase the overall area and sanded in the stressed skin look. I added 3D 'signal lights' similar to Mustangs and Corsairs, which were typical for the variant. I also designed and 3D printed the longer spinner, cable guard for the tail wheel, a pitot tube, strut/rudder tie downs, and additional cockpit details, etc. I used the Flightline cockpit resin printed 3D parts as my inspiration to continue with a few more parts. It flies incredibly well, but a bit rudder sensitive, go figure. So there you have it, another modded Flightline Spitfire, a great MotionRC model of the most beautiful silhouette in aviation. Best as always, LB

Hi James & the MRC team,
2 weeks ago my good friend Frank from Germany and myself visited pilot Robert on his home field in Germany. The day after, Frank and I attended a closeby EDF meeting in Belgium. Here's a vid showing one of his Avanti flights. His jet is blazingly fast because of the 8S upgrade. Enjoy the vid!

Well look what arrived at my door this evening!
Took about, oh.. maybe 3 minutes to unbox and fill. Unboxing video to follow soon.
Fit and finish is absolutely amazing! The livery is second to none.. stunning colors.
CG is spot on at about 7/8ths full. Any more and it becomes tail heavy. Otherwise...
... I freaking love it!
