This is an impressive RC Spitfire! A 6-channel scale model of the famous Battle of Britain warbird. Retractable electric main landing gear is installed along with 4-panel split flaps. The AS3X® technology with SAFE® Select ensures stable flight.
This is a state of the art, injection molded foam warbird. It is a nice size, with a wing span of 1200mm(47.2").
It is a BNF (Bind aNd Fly) model, so of particular interest to flyers who already own a transmitter and consequently have some flying time under their belt. In no way can this RC Spitfire be considered a beginner's RC Airplane!
There is a lot of detail molded in and it definitely looks scale. The paint job and markings are expertly applied but are susceptible to "hangar rash". I would suggest that a clear coat of water based polyurethane (Minwax Polycrylic, applied with a roller or sprayed) will make things last a lot longer. One thin coat is enough and weight is not significantly increased.
Interesting that no glue is required for assembly. The whole model is bolted together.

This is still a relatively new RC Spitfire so there are not many reviews.
Most of what I was able to find were all positive except one. This chap unfortunately crashed on the first take-off. These things can happen! Always double check everything (especially aileron direction) and if possible get a friend to check as well, before that first flight.
