Owner: Graham Pettifer<\/p>\n

Manufacturer: Not known<\/p>\n

Model: Spitfire<\/p>\n

Maiden Flight: 2022<\/p>\n

This is my 54 inch wingspan Spitfire (make and model unknown) which I would think is must be about 40 years old. I managed to pick it up for free and converted it to electric and it runs from a 6s battery. I very quickly and roughly put it together to get it in the air with a wooden prop and undercarriage that happened to be lying around. As you can see it\u2019s held together in places with gaffa tape and string!
\nThe first time I flew it I took faith in the gods, opened up full throttle and it flew beautifully, responsive but very stable and it looks great in the air!
\nIt could obviously do with a full restoration to make it look more scale but time, money and all those other jobs I haven\u2019t yet done !!!! Graham<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

Model: Tasman Bushman<\/p>\n

Maiden Flight: 26\/7\/2023<\/p>\n

Another from the Cobb hangar, this has STOL capability and runs on 4 cell 3000 batteries.
\nIn addition to the usual controls it has flaps and nav. lights. The wheels are just under 4″ and inflated. Apparently it is capable of 3D aerobatics and prop hanging…..<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
