Nigel, Its a metal backed Spinner, that yes I just cut the front off. Originally it came from 4-max "light weight plastic spinner" Colin

Nigel, The Bf109 flies slowly as well quite nicely, and so does the Spitfire. Weighed it again last night - just under 1 1/2 kg > about 3.3lbs

Nigel, I'll have to weigh it again. Its heavier than I expected but the same as Ic version if I remember. But this hasn't proved to be a problem, just makes it more stable in flight. Substational weight could be saved by modifying the ply fuselage doublers etc etc.. Covering wize......... It actually fibre glassed, aerosol primer filler from Halfords and then airburshed using Vallejo 'model air' paints. You could use a 4S just needs to be the correct motor/prop combination. Mine has a 4-max 3541- 1070 +12x6 prop. This motor can take 3s or 4s batteries, but you'd have to drop the prop to a 10x5 or simiar. All my electrics were supplied by Georgte at 4-Max. Colin p.s. we also built a Spitfire on a 'hot' 4s setup, which was then recorded at 128mph at our club speed event.

Nigel, I built a Cambrian 'Electrified' Bf109 and to my surprise it flies really really well..I have hand launched it myself, but it requires a really good throw if theres no wind - best to get a club mate to do this bit. Construction is simple and agree with the comments above about the Ply fuselage doublers they could easily be replaced with something lighter or with big hoiles drilled in them. I also lightened all formers where I thought I could. Its got a 3S3300 which gives me long enough flights (8-10mins) - and balances with no additonal weight. The construction guide could do with updating as the electric conversion bit is a bit adhoc! ... Tailwheel mentioned but not supplied. So far broken props have not been an issue with the brake off.

Hi, I have one of the Timbertech guns and have had reasonable result with it. They also come with several needles and tips for various spray pattern sizes. They do need the paint thinned correctly as they clog quick quickly. Or use something like Vallejo ModelAir colour which start off the correct 'thinness' to start with. Couple of example attached...

"Target weight" with or without battery? I've just about finished the build, and am pleased to find that without battery I'm under TN's "target weight" of 1,300g. But the 400g battery pack is going to take me significantly over Hi, Mine has come out at 1060g without a battery installed, it has been glassed and painted, so potentially heavier than just a film covering.
