Spitfire Mk 14 03 Oct 09

Another low quality movie of my Spitfire Mk 14, with some real Griffon engine sounds dubbed on.. I have just been running in a new engine for it so hopefully there will be a few more films with a bit more thrust.

cracking video, you've timed a couple of passes very convincingly with the sound. a) what is the model? The wings are beautifully and prototypically thin! And is that an electric motor? If so what is it and whats the wingspan? I have a YT mk14 with an eflite 160 which dos the job, but doesn't look as elegant as yours. Beautifully flown too, well done.

@wheelsdown1 Why thank you!! It's from the Brian Taylor plan, 69 inches span and weighs 10 1/2 pounds. it was built way back in 1983 and has a Webra Champion 10cc 2 stroke up front - I recently managed to buy a brand new replacement motor for £25, and it's had 2 flights with it. I should have spent more time synching up the sound track but it takes ages and I got bored!! Cheers, Al

What kind of engine do you use ? it's a great sound (like a V12)

@Ukulelemagratt Hi, I wish I could have had a V12 in the model :-), but it's the real Griffon engine sound dubbed on - as per the movie description.

The contrast of the film makes it look old and some of the passes are perfectly timed with the sound track. Well mate.
