Re: spitfire in sport

You have any photos/video of it? Does it have a name?

Having only seen a real Spitfire once in my life (having traveled to London just to do it) I'm real excited about this.

Let me know if there's any help you need!

A Falconer V12 in that would be sweet. I can't wait to see it in Sept.

Re: spitfire in sport

Took these the day after Ranger field Tx fly-in end of May. Kid I talked (Jarrod) said it had to be trucked in, still not certified in the US. Has this been resolved now??
Looks like redline is about 200mph.

Re: spitfire in sport

The weight is right, the redline is 190 kts set by the owner the real redline is around 300. The reg is going to finished before Oshkosh they already have n numbers.I will have tigermouth for a while in midland while they do a few mods I suggested on highlady. We are trying to get some new mt blades it has aerobatic blades now , it needs mo fasta blades. I will have more pics in a week or so.
