The Parkzone Spitfire

The Parkzone Spitfire MKIIB is the third warbird to appear in Parkzone's hugely popular electric RTF 'Charge-and-Fly' series.

The Parkzone Spitfire



Designed and built in my home town of Southampton, southern England, by chief aircraft designer R.J.Mitchell, the Supermarine Spitfire is the most famous fighter of World War II.
The Spitfire (alongside the Hawker Hurricane) was responsible for the successful outcome of the Battle Of Britain, in June 1940, which prevented the Germans from invading and taking over mainland Britain. Although that famous 'battle for the skies' was the Spitfire's finest hour, the airplane continued to play a major role throughout the rest of the war.

The Spitfire MKIIB was just one of many different variations to come out of the Supermarine factory, and the Parkzone Spitfire is an excellent recreation of this much loved warbird.
It joins the Parkzone P-51 Mustang and the Parkzone Focke Wulf 190, two other legendary Second World War fighters.

As with all the other 'Charge-and-Fly' airplanes, the model comes fully RTF and can be flying within around 40 minutes of opening the box, that's the time it takes to charge the motor battery pack with the supplied peak detection charger.
The radio control system gives you fully proportional control to 3 channels - motor, elevator and aileron - and there is an option to change flight modes. These modes change the amount of control surface deflection, so you can fly the Spitfire gently round the sky if you're a novice, or you can use the second mode for full deflection, giving you smooth aerobatic performances - just like the real thing!

Parkzone Spitfire MKIIB in the airThe Parkzone Spitfire looks very realistic in the air; the Royal Air Force camouflage color scheme is accurate, and the presence of a pilot figure adds to the realism, as in the P-51 and FW190.

Performing smooth Victory Rolls (a large barrel roll) is easy with this model, a maneuver that was flown by both Spitfire and Hurricane pilots on returning from a successful mission.

Like the Mustang P-51 and Focke Wulf 190, the Parkzone Spitfire is X-Port compatible. This means that you can add the special modules (purchased separately) and engage in some aerial games, including aerial combat where you can disable your adversary's motor!

All in all, this electric rc airplane is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a scale RTF model that not only performs well, but looks stunning in the air too.
