[jedimasterkyle]

What kind of camera were you using???

[kaiotie1]

ok. right i have one of these that only needs a engine. i have collected all the parts to put it together piece by piece but im not a skilled builder. either i need help to build this model or i might sell it. any surjestions?

[Naturepheonix]

The engine sounds sexy!

[paul0367]

Beautiful model, just one comment, slow down those retracts they are far to quick in operation. Oh and watch the wind generators

[JackLipnick]

Fantastic work, Ronald! Can you recommend any beginners modeling or flight clubs near Amsterdam? Thanks.

[RonaldKunenborg]

Try google: modelvliegclub amsterdam. Spaarnwoude is ok.

[RonaldKunenborg]

I don't think so. This is an exact scale spit.

[NICKOFAN]

Is it true that if you scale down the exact Spitfire, it won't fly, without tweaking the plans slightly?

[RcUniverseGuy]

its not true

[AECRoutemaster]

Superb!

[keithrussell]

Can you tell me how much elevator throw you have up and down please. How do you minimise the over controll with the elevator?

[RonaldKunenborg]

Hi Keith,

The elevator has about 6cm up and 3cm down throw. Just use a lot of expo on the elevator. You really need a lot of up throw with taxing.

[w4k4]

this planes has torque effect like real ?

[MaxRCkona]

That thing is huge!!!!

[RonaldKunenborg]

Hi Gentarion,

The wingspam is 280 cm (110")

Ronald.

[gentarion]

how big is the wingspan?

[jimcarmar]

it is massive just unbeliveable

[sealife56]

I enjoyed the video and the flying skill.

[planethaven]

A beautiful model beautifully piloted. I just wish I could afford one.

[luv2flyrcplanes]

Very stable cloud carver! Excellent piloting skills!

[wallenz]

My favourite plane when I was a kid, the Spit is so darn nice :))

[hsxakj]

Just a question: I'm going to build the 71" span YT Sea Fury and I'm gonna provide it ample power: a 2-stroke Irvine 150. Could anyone please tell me which prop could be more suitable for speed: the 16 X 8 3-blade Master, or the 18 X 8 2-blader?

[rcmadnessp51]

very nice,the wind mills in the back ground look very close?IM SURE IT JUST LOOKS THAT WAY ON THE VID.YOUR SPIT FIRE IS AWSOME,THE ENGINE PULLS IT WITH AUTHORITY, WOW!!!

[grahamnachos]

what size engine is in that monster?

[RonaldKunenborg]

Hi,

The engine is a zdz80.

Greetings,

Ronald.

[klef77]

that fucking great well done

[freddles1991]

thats just pornography.

i have a smaller spitfire with a span of around 5 foot which is almost complete and due to have its first flight soon, im hoping it wont crash and burn but videos will be put up whatever happens :)

[sxakj]

That's an AWESOME Spit!!! I have the 2.02 metre Mick Reeves Hurricane and it also flies beautifully!!! Congratulations, GREAT work and nice flying RonaldKunenborg!!!

[RonaldKunenborg]

Hello sxakj,

Do you have some video's to share with us?

Ronald.

[sxakj]

Unfortunately no, I do not have any because the Hurricane has been flown only twice-and I do not feel very comfortable because the aircraft is overpowered-the designer states that the engine should be from .61 to .91(max), and I've fitted an Irvine 1.20, so the Hurricane really flies at about 120-130 mph!!! I will try to tell a very good friend to record a 5-minute video, and if succesful, I'll upload within 5-10 days!!

[Motorflieger]

hey, beautiful plane- but you could fly it more realistic =)

[stevejamesmorris]

Super, thanks for that.

[JonskyGBR]

Bit better than my Parkzone Spitfire Mk11B :)

Pity no-one makes a tiny V12 Merlin then you'd be really hard pressed to tell the difference from a real one!

[malexpeterson]

Very nice spitfire and great flying. Thanks for sharing your handiwork.

[andyrooo636]

ahh fantastic, thanks for that, im not so worried now lol, just got to get the courage to fly it.

Many thanks again and a great vid.

[RonaldKunenborg]

Hi Andy,

It flies super! No stall at all. You can really come in very slow especially with the flaps.

In this video i land at high speed.

[andyrooo636]

lovely spit mate, ive just got the topgun smaller version. How does it fly ? im a bit worried about the wingtip stalling ???

[tubexi]

awesome. thanks Mick from Turkey.

[flyby321]

Beautiful Spit! ..once its up there it looks just like the real thing.

[RonaldKunenborg]

Thanks flyby321!
