With a 3s, try a 12x6 apc, you'll like it. You have to remember to plant the tail with full elevator as soon as you can to keep it from nosing over. Very good flying plane.
@canamwingso so is the Mark IV Spitfire. Looks wonderful in the air. And the shape is a little more aerodynamic so it flies a touch faster if you want to. Many of our hardcore scratch-builders in our club have one of these three just for some fun flying. The best is having 2 or more in the air and do some chasing. I love my Spitfire for a nice afterwork flight. Or six flight actually since you will want to fly more than once and buy some more 2200 batteries :)
This plane is fantastic. our field is cut like a gold fairway and it still wants to nose over. i belly land mine. its big and round and comes with a skid guard, so I use it
@RyanWehr putting a small piece of plywood in the retract bay helps with that. key is to tilt the struts to the front a little. so place it between the retract and the bay. And to help with that you will need larger elevator deflection by changing the hole the linkage is in at the servo and control surface. That will help you keep the tail down. probably you will want to put elevator on dual rates for flight and takeoff/landing. my spitfire and friends p47 work fine of grass now.
@RyanWehr i would try putting like a washer or two were the wheel mounts, so the wheels are angled more forward. i did this to mine and it really helps
That is a nice plane, I think the next one on my list after watching this, I love the retracts but our field here on the Isle of Wight is a bit rough so not sure how it would handle that. Thanks for sharing Chris
Great video boys and i can remember watching this one on the main website (RCM&E) a month or so ago now ;-) i haven't flown mine no where near as much as i'd like all because of our great British summer ;-) still it can only get better can't it LOL.
The new Parkzone Spitfire looks to be one sweet model this time around and should be out some time next month,fingers crossed ;-)

I have one, beautiful plane, hard to avoid nosing over on the bumpy landing field
