Overview
Spitfire Mk.IX 1540mm (60.6") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1008-001
The Supermarine Spitfire is a British single-seat fighter aircraft that was used by the Royal Air Force and other Allied countries before, during, and after World War II. Many variants of the Spitfire were built, using several wing configurations, and it was produced in greater numbers than any other British aircraft. It was also the only British fighter produced continuously throughout the war. The Spitfire continues to be popular among enthusiasts; nearly 60 remain airworthy, and many more are static exhibits in aviation museums throughout the world.
The Nexa Spitfire Mk.IX is a .50 size electric or gas option scale series warbird with a 1540mm wingspan, constructed primarily from balsa wood and covered with a fuel-resistant covering. This ARF requires assembly and installation of your choice of servos and power system, and includes split flaps, painted pilot, machine gun, antenna and other scale details. The large battery hatch affords ample room for either electric or gas setups. Impress at your flying field with this iconic stunner!

My Nexa Spitfire Experience

Nexa spitfire and o 40

My nexa MP40 I'm running a Avion 500 KV motor and a e-flite 70 amp ESC and I'm only pulling 46 amps at a 1100 watts at full throttle with the master air screw 14x9 3 blade prop.... On my spitfire I bought the recommended ESC and it's pulling 62 amps at 3/4 throttle with a 16 x 8 3 blade prop and I'm using the admiral 400 KV motor.... This plane has no ventilation holes in the front of it to cool the ESC and motor in the first place if you run a prop spinner at all there's no air getting to either the ESC or the motor...if you run the recommended prop with this plane 15 x 7 and this plane weighs right at 6 lb without a battery it is way too underpowered and at full throttle it flies like a RTF dynam...my p40 with the avian 500kv and 14 x 9 prop reaches over 90 mph and with full throws is fully aerobatic....Nexa isn't for everyone but they are attractive solid planes once you get them together and overcome the weak motor mount design and retract headaches...but stay away from an Esc that will fit in a cigarette pack rated at 65 amps...don't be mislead by the ESC amps are only based on the draw of the motor and prop...I changed the ESC and now the same watt meter shows 55 amps at full throttle..

Nice kit but the retracts are not the right ones for a spitfire
The kit comes together really easy, minor adjustments, but the retracts when cames out are pointing out , not straight, they dont turn a little bit,
