Perspex Spitfire

This was made for me at Wendy's work as they know I like Spitfires, I thought it was superb     

What engine you going to put in it?

Not sure yet Daron, may go electric in case the heat from an IC exhaust melts the perspex mate   

Yeah I agree with you gbee. good choice.

you must go petrol at least a 60 twin, huge high voltage servos and a power box for safety or the lma will not issue caa exemption certificate

do not forget 6 x 10 minutes test flights are also required

Hi Keith

Yes i really liked it when Wendy came home from work and said the lads had made this for you   
A nice thought and i love it     

Looks great Gary when they going into production  

I think you should control line it so you can compete with Graham for the "Grimsdale Cup"

Hey now there's a great idea Ian, its pretty heavy though and made from 12mm Perspex so need a pretty pokey little engine to pull it round   
Would love to challenge Graham for the Grimsdale Cup but a very hard act to follow as there's only one Graham Wisdom in our club and he's superb

Hi Norm

Pretty cool eh, they do all sorts at Wendy's work.
Windshields for Speed boats and Yachts, Engraved Dash displays for light aircraft and microlights, Display cabinets for musuems etc.
Signs/ Sign writing, Plaques for special openings or where famous people have lived.
They done some engraving for The World Jet Masters a few years back. I find it all very interesting and handy too

Hey Gary...You could probably get a very nice little diesel suited to control line for around £300 !!!!!!
    

To cheap Dave but will pay £500     
How are you mate
