Re: 1/3 Spitfire

The tail incidence should be correct as the model was built to be 100% correct. If you look at all air to air pictures of all full size spitfires in flight they all fly with a slight down trim,,, we actually know paul bonhomme who flys mh434 and i have chatted in depth regarding the spitfires flying...
