My first outing with this 1/4 scale Spitfire MK IXc. Sadly due to a landing gear proximity switch, I had to carry out a forced landing gear up. Thankfully damage was minimal.

Good airmanship to elect flapless landing , can't imagine there was any damage at all. Flown in a very scale like smooth manner, very nicely done

Thanks. There was a bit of damage to the underwing radiators and carburettor scoop but all fixed now.

It is interesting to hear the technical stuff. In my day it would have been 6 servos, a NiCad battery pack and receiver as far as the radio gear went. No electric power in those days either. Lovely model and great to see it fly so well.

Thanks. Yes, radio gear and electric power has certainly come along way in the past few years.

Great aviation skills, take off, general flying and THAT landing too. The model looks right in the air and when taking off and landing, large scale models have that effect in the real world, more stable, scalable.

Beautiful, from any angle, the apogee of airplane design, no matter the size ... still makes a good noise even with it being electric, scale it up (pitch dropped) and it'd sound just like a Merlin.

Beautiful model, fantastic flying. The only thing that I miss about electric flying is that when you cut the power (to zero), there is no guaranteed prop stop position that you get on an IC engine. So, power off, gear up landings always end up in possible prop damage! At least there is no sticky oily clean up every time you pack up for home 🙂
@ScaleMeDown
@ScaleMeDown 2 дня назад
You can get systems for gliders that stop the prop in a specific position to tuck them away back into the fuselage. I don't know why this isn't a feature on all ESCs

Surely such a lovely model deserves a scale prop? If you can't buy one off the shelf, the world is awash with 3D printers.
@ScaleMeDown
@ScaleMeDown 2 дня назад
A scale size prop is nearly twice the diameter and 4 blades - the motor (in fact any motor / engine) won't turn it. Could fit a static one between flights I guess

Where the hell do you store this monster mate you must have a big garage and how long did it take to build and how much ? so bloody awesome just a beautiful aircraft what Mk is this this looks like a Mk 14??

I didn't build her, I bought her from Phil Anderson. The kit isn't cheap at the best part of £2K ! I am lucky to have a double garage for my workshop. She is kind of full with her and my Eurofighter though (see any of my build videos).

@@ScaleMeDown well i think they both have their places...i have a 34cc two stroke in my 90 inch spit and i would much rather an electric motor as i would not have to test it by holding it up to the sky making sure there is no fuel starvation....very scary. apart from that its fine but some day i think ill convert it.

The appearance is spoilt in my opinion by the glaringly incorrect use of a two bladed propeller. I may add, this is not a hobby I have any interest in. It's just an observation.
