I see you had for lad "the wing man" out last night then......when do we see the Bf109 in flight then?

I need a spinner or nose cone for it,.i think ive found one so hopfully within the next few weeks!!!!......thing is its quite a unique shape so i cant use a standard one which i can buy on the shelf at any model shop. also its about half the weight of a parkzone spit so i need to figure out motor size ect,i might go with a e-flite 480 outrunner....

Hi, Speaking of time!,, as ive only had 5 or so flights with my spit, (still in 1 peice i hasten to admit),..... thats torn it now!. My flights have always been in zero (not even the birds were coughing!) wind, i find now all my time looking out staring at bloody tree tops. To you experinced warfliers, can i fly the spit in 0 to wind MPH after such short time?, i know theres not a set answer but who's flown in Max wind itll take?...

Cheers.

go for it, keep plenty of height,.no low fast passes.,if you feel uncomfterble land it....

I've only flown a Spitfire and Mustang a few times, but as long as the wind is constant you should be ok... the last evening a flew on there was a chap with some kind of wheeled surf board being pulled about quite fast by a parachute shaped kite; I thought the wind may have been too strong for my planes but they were fine. The problem is when there are sudden gusts, especially if you are unlucky enough to be turning near the ground at the time.
