Great Planes Manufacturing have released a great Almost Ready-to Fly sports scale Spitfire model. The Spitfire can be flown with either a glow or electric power, which makes it very versitile, and great value for money.
The plane is built with a fibreglass cowl and balsa/ply covered in MonoKote™ film for the other structures. It can be assembled for belly landings, or you can use the fixed wire landing gear provided in the kit. Because most of the plane is prefabricated and coated, assembly time is significantly reduced, meaning you can get into the air faster! It also has all the fittings and mountings that you will need for either a glow or electric powered motor.
