We followed all your suggestions, but the most important was to work this project as a Father & Son project.
We enjoyed a lot working together. I am 51 and my son is 21. He knows how the electronics work and I have a little more experience with painting and details, so we make a good team.
We add some weapons and we painted it with simple spray paint, adding some yellow details and decals we printed at home.
We worked with local 5 mm board we found here in Mexico, so at the end the Spitfire was a little heavy, 950 gr final weight with the 2200 mA battery, so we upgraded the motor to a GH2217-09; 70 gr; 225 watts; 950 KV.Motor
We use the spinner and prop from HK P51 and it balances perfect. Spinner. Propeller was also from a P51 Prop
We added a landing gear from HK. Landing gear. For the tail I attached a spare tail landing gear from a Supercub.
Thank you very much Flite Test for this amazing opportunity to spend time with my lovely son. We will always remember this time together making this nice plane.
Thank you very much Josh and David.
It flies excellent!
