Plantraco 1/72 Scale Spitfire & ME109
At 6 inch wingspan and 2.7 grams flying weight, the Supermarine Spitfire and ME109 really show off the unique technological advantages of Plantraco's microweight R/C system. Low weight and high thrust - these are the factors the give the Plantraco RTF models aerial supremacy wherever they are flown. You are going to love flying these models.
The Spitfire Fighter is the most recognizable icon of World War II. From the throaty growl of its Rolls-Royce Merlin, streamlined fuselage, to its beautifully tapered elliptical wings, the Spitfire is a true aeronautical thoroughbred that is loved by all. Without a doubt the most famous combat aircraft the world has ever seen. It is a British national symbol for triumph over a superior German air force. Plantraco's 1:72 Scale R/C Model Spitfire Mk XVI is painted in the markings of the RCAF's legendary 421 Squadron (Red Indian Squadron).
The German Luftwaffe ME109 had a sleek and menacing appearance that is unmistakable in the air. It just has that 'evil look' to it. Dogfights between the Spitfire and ME109 are now possible on a micro scale! The sharp aggressive lines of the ME109 are beautiful in their own way of course, but you definitely feel that the ME109 was a well designed evil fighting machine as compared to the beautiful aeronautic lines of the Spitfire. Fly this R/C micro indoor and outdoor airplane and you'll get a taste of what the German air force had in their arsenal.
The low weight makes this model very durable in crashes. About the only thing you can break on this one is the propeller, and these are easily replaced. It's nowhere near as easy to fly as the Carbon Butterfly or even the Classroom Fighters or MicroMAV. The Micro Spitfire is a bit tougher to fly than all of these, but it shouldn't take you very long to get used to it. Fly it at half or 2/3 throttle and go easy on your stick inputs, it's quite sensitive - just go with the flow for a while keeping the plane in sight and work towards controlled level flight.
The 'Aeroplane Only' option includes all airborne components apart from a battery (receiver, rudder actuator and motor/gearbox). The 'Full Kit' includes a 20mAh LiPo cell and the Plantraco HFX868 transmitter. Please contact us if you wish to purchase a full kit with Monolith instead of the transmitter.
