Product Description
Capture the spirit of the famous Battle of Britain with this outstanding electric powered scale Spitfire. Based on a 603 Squadron Spitfire serving at Hornchurch Essex during August 1940 it is designed to be the most accurate ready to fly electric Spitfire on the market today!
The Parkzone Spitfire is based on the earlier Mk.2 Spitfire that played a pivotal role during the Battle Of Britain. This stunning model has a host of super scale detail with a true elliptical wing, accurate Royal Air Force 603 Squadron codes, the early dark earth and green camouflage scheme, beautifully molded canopy, painted pilot figure with Mae West life jacket, accurately molded three stack Merlin exhausts and a fully detailed fuselage with molded panel lines.
Everything needed to get this Spitfire in the air and ready for combat is included in the box, making this model a true "one box" purchase. The model, flight battery, charger are all included and the transmitter has two switchable modes, one giving a softer more sedate flying model and the second giving the Spitfire a fully aerobatic scale performance. Access to the flight battery is via an easy to use battery hatch with a magnetic lock, so there is no need to take off the wing between flights making the Spitfire ready to "scramble" at a moments notice.
The most exciting feature of this model is the new ZX10 radio system with 10-bit 1024 step processing. It uses industry standard three wire servos with a six-channel receiver fitted in the model and a transmitter with servo reversing switches, whilst looking similar to earlier Parkzone transmitters, the ZX10 has a dynamic new look to compliment the state of the art electronics.
If you want to experience the thrills of fighter plane action, low strafing runs, and glorious victory rolls, this Spitfire is the model to have!

The toy itself is great - however on the description when you buy it I think it should say that you are supposed to be a 3 way radio experienced pilot to fly it. It says it over all the instructions but not the website.
It is an expensive toy because you tend to crash it alot and then need to buy lots of new parts!
It can go very fast - up to 40mph but we haven't got to that stage yet!

Great product and easily replacable spares which are sold for reasonable prices, just seems to always be sold out everywhere. Very durable unlike some of those foam planes - a v.high speed nose dive into concrete required only a new prop, spinner and cowl.

OK ... Perhaps not everyone. Some would prefer a North American P-51D Mustang, an Messerschmitt Bf-109E, a Misubishi A6M Zero, a FockeWulf Fw-190D Butcher Bird, a Grumman F4F Wildcat or a Lavochkin Gorbunov Gudkov LaGG-3 ...
... OK, maybe that last one's just me.
There's a romance and magic to WW2 fighters, and the Mk2 Spitfire is a classic of the type. BUT ... and it's a major 'but' ... a number of the characteristics that made the Spitfire such a great fighter are present in this MODEL of the Spitfire.
Both the full sized Spit AND THE MODEL can be fast, agile and somewhat unforgiving. If you know what you're doing with this Parkzone Spitfire you have an incredible aircraft, but if you don't there is a major chance you will "stuff it" big time and end up forking out for repairs having never really got much fun first.
This is not a model to learn to fly with. This is probably not a "second model" either. This is a model to enjoy when the basic business of flying itself has ALREADY BECOME AUTOMATIC. Then your reactions on the sticks will be fast enough to cope and you'll enjoy it.
Just don't get it too soon. Learn to fly with something ELSE first.

The internal frame on my spitfire had been screwed and glued in crooked, this means that when the wings are fitted they are really crooked too and the plane would never have flown... Read more
