Thanks for the helpful videos, I used your build video and ignored your hint on taking tip of the aerial, you were right, the first time I looked down the battery compartment I stabbed my eye. Luckily I wear contact lenses so no injury, but I rounded it off after that. I am retired and took up this hobby after a twenty five year gap. Used to fly petrol planes that took weeks to build, so this is much easier. This is my third plane. Tought myself to fly again on dynam Piper cub which is still in one piece after a few replacement undercarriages, then added a dynam Waco which flies perfectly....love it. The dynam spit is my third plane and much more of a handful, even with landing gear raked forward I can not stop tipping over on grass, but tarmac road is no problem. Still nervous as hell every time I fly it.... hoping I will get better. Thanks again for your helpful advice. Andy in Scotland.
Just watch out you do not snap a blade off the prop, I lost 1 to day with an old trainer. front wheel dig into the soft sand and the prop hit the hard grass...
Just got one mine is Grey and Green with a 4 blade prop - but my goodness I wish someone had said something about the panel lines - they are so deep you could film starwars in them
Glad you had a good day, most war birds that are tail draggers can tend to noise over, I tend to let my Spit, Hurricane, Mosquito and Lancaster low to the ground, 3/4 ft, and let the airspeed bleed off, then when they touch terra firma apply back elevator, most times. not all, they behave, I only fly on grass, no runway at our club.
Congrats on a successful maiden flight, I have a Dynam Devil Biplane and I love it! It has the same troubles on grass runways but it is caused by it's fancy wheel pants. Dynam makes some nice planes.
I have the earlier Mk24 Spitfire but I just find them a bit small for my old eyes and so, perhaps do you after your little almost whoopsie near the start :) I also found that one of the problems with multiblade props is that if you should nose over on landing then there's always a blade ready to be broken when one gets pushed away. It doesn't help that we fly off a tarmac runway (usually a good thing, especially in winter). There does seem to be a lot more room in this than the HK Mk 24. There's no way I could have fitted current sensor telemetry in that one. Perhaps the extra 100mm wingspan helps. I like your green carpet (portable?) runway. A great solution to a soggy winter field. Have fun with your Spit
If it were me, I might try and extend that runway somehow if only laying down some long strips of plywood or something. but getting it all flat and even could be a bit of a chore not to mention permission with whomever owns that tract of land to do something like that.
+Andrew Newton yea they do look mint in the air, but tbh I'm loving the flying wings. I've got stuck with them & in a "Happy place" ragging the nuts off them every time I go flying :)
Andrew Newton Yea that would be "some" of my Bristolian accent coming through. Look out for the FPV vid later, it's got my two favourite sayings in the intro ;-)
bonito aviao, este e o p-41 sao talvez os mais belos caças antigo mais belos de sempre !! muito bonito e realista no ar, sera muito dificil de pilotar ele ?
ok, tanks andrew , vou mandar vir um pra mim de um site espanhol em versão pnp por 99 euros , eu já tenho uma emissora flysky i6 com receiver e depois uma bateria de 11,1v 2200mha , talvez venha a mudar o esc. pra um de 40amp. que de pra usar bem baterias de 4s ,mas o que mais gosto neste aviao é mesmo seu diesin seu bonito desenho e o recolher das rodas tbm agrada , e vai ser o meu 1- avião !
ALL dynam planes do that on grass... :( The only ones i hve owned that dont do that are the Dynam Meteor v2 and the T28 pretty much any tri landing gear plane. You should try the Fw190... 1.4 meter. On 4s she flies like a dream.!
My own designs by far. These review planes just don't have the character and personal investment for me. Problem is I'm not getting much time for anything apart from building and maidening.
YEAH Baby!! Good to see someone having so much fun at the field mate. Like I was there with you. She really floats along...Now fix that ugly sounding spinner and drop some 4s in there!! lol.. that will get you giggling!!

Ouch, close call. Much less stress with foam
Size is good. Not too small, not too big. It flies great as well. Nice flying Andrew 😄👍
Yes a great looking and flying Spitfire.
Well done Andrew very nice plane indeed ..
Yes it is a sweet flier
Nice Video again Andrew, Thank you for your effort of making them and putting them on the net. I hope you nail that landing soon
Might stick to belly landing until the ground hardens up.

Morning Andrew, just woke up and saw the maiden video. Thanks for the mention! 60 expo on 75% movement, you're a way braver man than me ;) Matt
My pleasure Matt. You have been very helpful.
Glad you had a good day, most war birds that are tail draggers can tend to noise over, I tend to let my Spit, Hurricane, Mosquito and Lancaster low to the ground, 3/4 ft, and let the airspeed bleed off, then when they touch terra firma apply back elevator, most times. not all, they behave, I only fly on grass, no runway at our club.
That is one Classy Looking SpitFire Andrew!
It is a greta looking warbird.
Congrats on a successful maiden flight, I have a Dynam Devil Biplane and I love it! It has the same troubles on grass runways but it is caused by it's fancy wheel pants. Dynam makes some nice planes.
Yes, great value.
Too cool! My 1st RC plane was a micro Nitro Spitfire on control line, many many years ago :)
Ah fond memories
Tough plane to see against a mixed sky like that one ,got to keep the plane in close.
Great flight impression Andrew! :) Congrats on the successfull maiden(s) offcourse :)
You had me worried a bit on that 'lost orientation' part ;)
Yes that was a close call, looked down for too long.
Ah ha, you were digging that Andrew ☺
I was enjoying myself.

Haha, yes I think you're right. My eyes are not as sharp these days. I looked down to locate the trim button for just a bit too long. I was lucky
If it were me, I might try and extend that runway somehow if only laying down some long strips of plywood or something. but getting it all flat and even could be a bit of a chore not to mention permission with whomever owns that tract of land to do something like that.
Well it's a cricket pitch at a sporting ground so extensions are out of the question. Just have to belly land I think.
Ya, I suppose if and when the wind might be the right speed and direction you might get a good soft landing on the cricket pitch area.
I really like the war planes.
I love warbird- so nastalgic! I talk with Matthew but he never mentioned his channel- I'm going to sub!
I resisted WW2 warbirds for ages, everyone else has them. But they do have a special attraction.
+Andrew Newton yea they do look mint in the air, but tbh I'm loving the flying wings. I've got stuck with them & in a "Happy place" ragging the nuts off them every time I go flying :)
"Ragging the nuts" This strange SW English dialect takes some deciphering. Most amusing.
Andrew Newton Yea that would be "some" of my Bristolian accent coming through. Look out for the FPV vid later, it's got my two favourite sayings in the intro ;-)
very nice! i gotta get a storebought plane now that i've destroyed a sufficient number of foamboard ones :p
Sound's like you have done your apprenticeship
very nice you are a gentleman flyer HI from LA california
Greetings from Geelong Fred.
that definitely counts!!
Definitely, the cricket pitch must be short.
Congratulation maiden flying !...
Thanks
nice flight, you can balance the prop with bits of clear tape.
It's more the prop mount or spinner I think.
To check the wind I use an eye dropper bottle filled with talcum powder.
Wow that's intricate, but it would work well.
bonito aviao, este e o p-41 sao talvez os mais belos caças antigo mais belos de sempre !! muito bonito e realista no ar, sera muito dificil de pilotar ele ?
Very easy to fly these Dynam warbirds. I'm a total beginner with warbirds and I had no problems, apart from landing in grass,

What do prefer flying these days - planes you've designed and built from foam or purchased aircraft?
My own designs by far. These review planes just don't have the character and personal investment for me. Problem is I'm not getting much time for anything apart from building and maidening.
great, Andrew what is hanging on you back??
Backpack and camera tripod
Hi I just got given one of these.
How much extra weight did you have to add and what is the c of g on it as I have no instructions.
Many thanks
Cant recall but it looks like about 60g. Have a look on RCGroups, all the info will be there.
@@AndrewNewton
👍
Chocks away chaps !!! lol shame no sound machine comes with it making the sound of a rolls royce merlin . . Great flight
You can buy sound units!
Lindo, olhando vc voar assim até parece fácil de controlar essa máquina no ar... hehehe
YEAH Baby!! Good to see someone having so much fun at the field mate. Like I was there with you. She really floats along...Now fix that ugly sounding spinner and drop some 4s in there!! lol.. that will get you giggling!!
It really is begging for 4S, would have to scoop out some foam to make it fit.
try a soldering iron, I found this to work well
Grear flight and well done recovering orientation at the beginning. Maybe next time put floats on it though, your field is boggy!
Ha yes floats on a Spitfire, that will get some reactions
just remember all the races mitchell won proving the concept of the spitfire....
schneider cup
Hi Andrew.How mutch the main landing wheel diameter?
I don't have this one any more but I think it was about 2 1/2"
but will it slope?
I reckon it will. What do they call that PSS?
+Andrew Newton it'll definitely slope, I've seen it some as Andrew flew his off the slope. Plus with the motor, you have instant cheat mode ;)
hi matey, can you tell us what flight time you get with the 2200mah lipo please.
Yo ho, about 15min cruising around or 8min flat out
Andrew Newton Hi, thanks for the information, very helpful cheers.
What is the first word he says in this video? "nerdy" volks? Just to improve my english. thx
He said "Howdy Folks"
oh^, that is easy. Thought about it, but didn't get it.Thank You, Have a nice one.
Nerdy volks work well too.
👏👏👏👏👏😇
Bow
be great if you FPV d it.check put Omegoolibird if you need inspiration.
Just this second watched his video, brilliant and inspirational.
Be cool to FPV her mate
Oh yes, one of those little AIO rigs would fit nicely in the cockpit
