PLENTY OF TIME TO BUILD NOW BOYS!
« on: March 27, 2020, 05:09:42 PM »
From every negative there's a positive, like having the time now to retrofit your Spitfire with a brand new Ro Jett 67 Long Stroke!

 Beautiful model.  y1

 And, as sick as everyone is of hearing about and dealing with all the current difficulties related to the Coronavirus problem, it's definitely not a hoax.

Kevin,

You do what you want to, but a suggestion to the wise, I would change the title of this thread to "Plenty of time to build now Boys!"

Given the medical Chinese Wuhan virus disasters in New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans to name several in the US alone, this is definitely not a hoax and it shows a level of insensitivity to state that even possibly in jest.

Kevin,

What a guy! What a model!

Outstanding how well your Spitfire came out.

Kudos on your labor and effort.

I still have a long way to go before it's done. Finish the ink work and alot of other small details. I have photos of every step and will post them in the "TIME TO FINISH THE SPITFIRE" thread. Thanks to all the people on this forum and behind the scene it will soon be finished.

 Sounds good, but now I don't understand your "retrofit" comment in the beginning of the thread, did you initially have it set up for something else?

Yeah the Spitfire was built for a Ro Jett 65 originally, but I would have had to add weight to the nose to get it balanced. So, I opted to buy the heavier 67.

Spitfire looks good.  I don't think I could handle the big planes any more, even if they are trimmed out.   Been working on two different planes and ready to stab/elevator on one.   

How many realize there was a virous that killed over a million people back in 1957 according to WHO.  I was barely in high school as I graduated in 1960. S?P
