Full flap is not so much flap as airbrake. the real spit used 85degrees worth of it to slow the bird down as it was quite a slippery bird. Did you use just partial flap on the approach? Full deployment would possibly meant your fast idle would be required to overcome the drag.
Not knowing for sure, but I guess it's the one with a Wingspan of 63" not impossible to fly but you should have some skills before you buy something like this, probably consider this as a fourth or fifth plane. I bought one and built it but I have still not had the curage to fly it, I'm on my second plane now. If you don't wanna start out with the very basic planes I would recomend a electricub 58.75". but you have to build it and there are better first planes out there.
I got 19 days off coming up, I am gonna flame up the heater in the shop and get back to work on my TF Spit! It's been sitting stagnate for several months now...shame on me!
I think you will be happy with this plane when you are finished. Keep the tail light. The guy that finished this plane flew it with a two stroke Super Tigre 91 and needed a ton of lead in the nose. By using a YS 1.10 I was able to offset the need for most of the lead and as you can see I have plenty of power.
I still have about four ozs of lead in the front section of the cowl.
Where is this field?

Just my 2 cents worth.

Beautiful plane! I've seen pics of this plane with the 4-blade prop. Is this just for looks or can you fly it with a 4-blade prop?
Thanks for the video!

On models of this size a four bladed prop is less efficient than a two blader.
It is best in the case of most models to stick with a two bladed prop.
