Spitfire
A Sport Warbird For Everyone

Historians consider the British Supermarine Spitfire to be one of World War II's finest fighters. This sport-scale ARF version does the legend proud — with a high-quality design that has the versatility to please every low-wing pilot.

  • High quality, built-up balsa/ply construction.

  • Includes mounting components for either glow or electric power.

  • AMA Event 750, Combat Class 2610 legal (when used with recommended glow set-up).

Spitfire parts layout
Great Planes includes a fiberglass cowl and lightweight, balsa/ply main structures featuring an attractive Allied trim scheme.

Corsair micro servos
You can assemble this model for belly landings or with the fixed wire landing gear provided — and mount your aileron servos and linkages on the top or bottom of the wing.
Spitfire trim
The Spitfire comes already covered with five colors, that represent a typical trim scheme of the World War II Allied fighter. Decals shown are included and die-cut for easy application.

Electric setup
For an outstanding brushless electric power system, outfit the Spitfire with a 1450kV outrunner brushless motor, 45A ESC, and 3200mAh LiPo battery.
Electric setup
Laser-cut parts for installing a complete brushless electric power system are supplied. Accessing electronics for maintenance is as simple as removing the wing.

Spitfire glow setup
If you prefer to fly using glow power — as required for AMA-sanctioned combat contests — Great Planes provides the mounting materials needed to install a 2-stroke .25 cu in engine.
