Previous from this thread, which is primarily on the P-51 which I think I'm just going to have to order.

Anyone tried the Spitfire yet?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but these AK-Models are very similar to China Model Products?

I fly IC-helis, but this forum makes me want to try e-warbirds.

The quality is top notch on the Spitfire and the build goes really quick. I just put mine together about a month ago and am still ironing out which power system I need. Up until now I've been using a cheap outrunner that just isn't cutting it. So next flight will be with a geared himax system. That should make it much more of a pleasure to fly.

WARNING: DO NOT USE THE SUPPLIED AILERON/RUDDER/ELEVATOR CONNECTORS!!! I screwed mine on with a pliers and they still vibrated off 1/2 way into my first flight. Leaving me without aileron control and spiraling into the ground. Upon inspection of the crash I discovered that my elevator was also unscrewed and seconds away from being disconnected as well. As a plus though, the plane is somewhat crash resistant.
