I usually solder up a connector of my own using DB9 computer plugs. If I use a common ground or plus supply I can connect all the servos I need with one of these. A 6-pin Multiplex connector can also be used (common plus, common ground, up to four signal wires), the DB9s are nicer/easier to solder though, and they have lugs to screw one side to the wing.

I did my small RBC Spitfire with black/white undersides and it actually is great for orientation. It would depend on the time period you'd like to model - 1939 with black/white undersides, dark earth/dark green topside camouflage, 1940-42 duck egg blue undersides, and from 1942 on the ocean grey/dark green camouflage and medium sea grey undersides, arguably hardest to see. Obviously by that time there weren't too many Mk.I Spits left... Interiors in all Spitfires were grey-green. Great build! Lorenz

Maybe not that popular in the UK, but when I was a teenager (eighties of the last century) Graupner was the gold standard over here. Good wood selection, very well die cut not crushed and printed part numbers, good plans, detailed build instructions including exploded view, even some hardware. Not all the required things, mind you, they still sold you half the accessory catalog. And somewhat overbuilt, never used one piece where three intricately shaped ones would do. But in the end, correctly built they all flew very well. Lorenz

Posted by kc on 07/11/2020 16:41:15: Also says "RCME publishes 13 great issues a year" . Is that correct? Is there a Special included if I buy a years print subscription? The advert in this forum says the print +digital is 13 issues a year - is there an extra issue for print + digital subscribers that print only subscribers don't get? Edited By kc on 07/11/2020 16:44:18 Not this year - covid savings regrettably gives us only 12 "normal" issues, A real pity, as the larger plan in the special issue was what brought me to RCM&E in the first place... Let's hope there will be a special next year again! Lorenz

Being Swiss (and ex Swissair) mine would have to be the Swissair one. Currently thought to have had a dark blue fuselage and a red roundel with a white CH on the tail, so quite the reverse of your drawing... Lorenz -

I'll be watching interestedly, as I have the plan also. For me it's going to be electric. Just ran your numbers through the calculator - 42 can motor, 700kV, 11x7 three-blader (being scale on the Condor) on 4s would do the trick nicely. Enjoy the build, Lorenz -
She has finally taken to the skies today! She is a very well mannered lady, thanks also to Skywriter designer Lindsay Todd. I am looking forward to see all her tricks! Of course there would be plenty of scope to improve her looks. We'll see, for now I plan to fly her.

as covering progresses and controls are hooked up, I couldn't resist putting it together. Tail wheel, wing struts, windscreen and pilot to go...

some progress, finally: having some fun with the panel: standing on its wheels: as may be guessed from the undercarriage, I will be dressing it up as a Spanish Fury.
