I just looked at the "whats new" section at Avsim and found Spitfire Mk2a NK-K (P8088) as flown by my father from Ibsley in Hampshire during 1941! Amazing....I think I better make a purchase!

That is fantastic! And yes, you had best "make a purchase". You won't be disappointed

OK, Boss. Will do!
It'll be the first time I've bought something with these new-fangled propeller things but watching that video finally explained to me how they work
And that model looks totally gorgeous. So with next week off, I'm hoping for lots of rain

Ian, in the meantime, download the manual and give it a good read. You will need
to fly this kite "by the book" or spend a LOT of time in the Maintenance Hangar"!
The Accusim manual is particularly important.

Don't worry, I'll sort it!
Melt down a few pots and pans and some railings and I'll have another one knocked up in no time!
Ian!

This is what you need
Watts propeller, 2 blade wooden prop for an early Spitfire halfway down this page -

Unless you're good with a hammer and can bend the 3 blade one at the top back into shape.
