Spitfire Mark 26 Fly By

[Anacinc]

Now install a propdrive so your able to fit a 3 or 4 blade prop ;-)

As for the 2 blade it sounds a bit inefficient due to the fact that you can clearly hear the proptips ripping through the sound barrier!

Yes you are correct! I must still convert an old VHS video with some genuine Spitfire video and upload it....

[juzzi07]

it's an 80% replica...hence the Mk.26 designation. It's a homebuilt.

[OuKrokodil]

Great! But all your vids are so short:-(

[dvdmerwe]

Mmmm yes, mainly because of slow upload speeds I have at 192kbps and many South African users working on dial up or capped ADSL. Hopefully this gets better in the coming year....

Shame it hasn't got a Griffon. Which engine note do you prefer?

[dvdmerwe]

I go for the Merlin any day....

[Motorflieger]

which engine does this spitfire have?

[dvdmerwe]

Not sure exactly which engine, but its not the original engine.

[mjs9691]

Nice to see flying; the only obvious difference btw this and the original is the sigh of the merlin being replaced by someone farting in a tin. Still it's great that spitfires are being made again!

[dvdmerwe]

Yes quite true! Nothing matches the growl of a Merlin!

[DazDaMan]

80% scale replica, not full-scale.

Thanks I have updated the note.
