Modelling Mad Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi, Anyone out there still have the instructions for the RC spitfire? I have all the wood parts but missing a lot of instructions, would be willing to pay for post, I can scan them and send back if required? Thanks in advance ModellerMad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Wylie Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 As part of a "shed find" I have the decals, (issue No 52) if anyone would like them (for cost of postage) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Wylie Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Sorry to all of the unsucessful enquiries, decals went to Martin, the first one to respond. Thanks for all the interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 My lad gave me a built DA Spitfire for my birthday last December. It had never flown and the engine never run. In fact, the build was never completed. there was no throttle installed canopy held on with long tacks no flying surfaces glued or installed the fin and stab were held in by a wood screw ! no pipe work for the tank. All these issues are being addressed. If it comes down in flight...it’s cost me nothing but a bit of epoxy and some piano wire. It would be a shame but I don’t hold out much hope. It will be as safe as it can be. The engine had a soak of oil as it was brand new and a bit stiff. After a 30 minute bath was far looser. Installed on the test bed....3 flicks and it was off! A bit of carb adjustment and it has a good idle and installed throttling. Those who don’t know the history of the plane it’s has a Leo 40 2t Edited By cymaz on 19/04/2020 21:19:54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwain Dibley. Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I built this plane from an Ebay purchase of parts. I converted it to electric. It flies superbly Cymaz...... Just make sure of your C of G. D.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Thanks, after some research the CG should be 87mm or 27%...am I correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymaz Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 She finished.....thank goodness. I reckon Stevie Wonder built it! Dwain - and anyone else- would you mind tell me where you put your cg and the throws used please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
