Spit-Tec

I'm in with the D, will try and get my Dad along too - he's only round the corner!

Excellent. Still waiting for that list of questions though.

1) What's the 80% Spitfire like compared to fly to the original 100% one? Easier? More difficult?
2) Which would win in a fight?
3) Can you do every kind of manoeuvre in an 80% replica that you could in the 100%?
4) How demanding in terms of upkeep is it?
5) Where do you get parts from?
6) How fast does it go / what's the service ceiling?

There's some to be getting started with, I'm sure I'll have more on the day!

What time is everyone getting there and going on to? I might not be able to come but if I do it wouldn't be until the evening.

Just in time for the swappers Party Mr & Mrs RG are organising at the premier Inn, Bring your Delorean Keys, and don't worry about the rest of it, you can leave that at home in the garage, I know I am!!

How exactly did this thread start?!

James said.........Honest

im in with the de jay is coming as well so 2 cars

I'm only bringing the keys for Mrs & Mrs RG's party like I said before. Infact Tone, we could both bring Just the Delorean Keys, and come in my Wagon instead, more comfortable. Is Sal coming............she'll be up for a swappers party.............she ain't got no delorean keys though.............anybody got any ideas how we could get around this dilemma???

What time does the BBQ start Richard?

Have you got a post code Richard?

[jerzybondov]

Have you got a post code Richard?

CM7 4EP
This will take you up the green lane to the place marked CM7 4EP in the map above.
To get to the airstrip, you need to take the second right off this lane, soon after the thatched cottage on the left.
Follow this lane until you see the airstrip on your right.

looks like a biggish meeting

BBQ time depends on weather, but we're thinking about 4pm. There are a lot of sausages to get through so it'll be cooking for quite a while.

Okay Gez, this will save you half an hour on Saturday:

1. It's 80% scale for lots of reasons, size of hangar required, power of engine (180hp not 1600hp), wing loading etc. He can't compare flying characteristics hasn't flown a 100% one.
2. 100%. would win in a fight. It has machine guns.
3. 80% is not cleared for aerobatics, but in theory yes.
4. not much different to a normal light aircraft.
5. Austrailia.
6. 200mph and 10,000ft limit as no oxygen system fitted.
