With Mike's high standard of build and it's designer Richard at the controls it was flawless and looks as good in the air as it does on the ground. It really is a peach of a model and Mike should be real proud of it. Here are the pictures of it's first flight.

Nothing wrong with your Spit , Martian . In fact, I rather fancy one with the yellow spinner . I kind of panicked when I sent the kits out this morning , remembering that I was going to put down some tips and options on the standard build . it wasnt till after I 'd posted that I remembered your later thread (had the better photos.....dont tell Paul ) blushcheeky

Richard is quite correct, I ordered mine today. My building has, now, gone full circle as my very first balsa model was a rubber powered Spitfire way back in 1962. Although Richard's kit is of a Mk IX I hope to finish mine based on a Mk 5B flown by Sq. Ldr. Jan Zumbach of 303 Sq. This is my first venture in to building a scale (ish) model and, looking at what you guys have posted on this forum, there is no shortage of hints, tips and advice. My original plan was to use OS 52 power but I may have to have a chat with George and venture in to electricery if the cost is not to prohibitive. I'll have to wait and see.
