Hello :-) Im new here

Hi, im Ds is an and im 14 I got into flying about 3 years ago, but have stopped and started a bit I have mostly had 3d and sport planes, but since i saw the man at my club with a spitfire... I WANT ONE As im 14 i dont have that much money so i cant just go buy what i want! but i have saved up abit + christmacoming. I do want one with retracts, and dont really want one with a bigger engine than a 60 2 stroke as the engines start to get costy I have also just seen this on ebay and now its got me worried!

That engine stuck out the top is so ugly... but how do i know if i buy one (online) it wont be the same? Also will a spitfire still sound good with a 2 stroke insted of a 4 stroke? I have been looking at this one:

Its everything i want! Flaps retracts, and a nice looking model (to me)Anyone got one and are they any good, And if not is there one you would recomend? The thing i would most like is a spitfire that would take a irvine 40, 46, or 53 (as these engines are cheap and good) That has retracts. Anyone know of one? There is a bring and buy sell at my club thursday so i might get some servos etc if i see a nice airframe on the net, as i cant afford new electrics too
Hope to meet you all soon!

A friend of mine has just bought a Hanger 9 Fokker DVII and the quality is very good for an ARTF so I would expect the Spitfire to be of similar quality.

cool, thanks

Also will any servo work for the retracts? And are retracts included with the model when you buy it?
Thanks,
Dan

If you follow this link to the Hanger 9 website you will see the recommended servos including the more powerful retract servo:-
