My simple iOS iphone build of the Griffon engined Spitfire Mk XVI. This is the photo reconnaissance model which was stripped of armament and built for speed and this is the experimental one aircraft only with contra rotating props. Take off requires approx 30% power with trim back and pull back to prevent prop strike. You should be airborne around 90-100 mph.
The issue with this build, apart from the undercarraige, is the flexing wings. They dont fall off but alternating pitch makes them flap.

Hi BadmanSalam, you can fix this flapping issue by using a structural wing "wing-2" for the wing root (the part that connects the wing to the fuselage). Other than that, this spitfire is superb!!! : ) cheers
