couple of million or so to build your own spitfires squadron?
yes they may be 80%actual size and have a v6 engine but this would be prety damned good.
so who is going to lend me a fw quid until i get right in the head?

I never quite understood people making 90% scale models
Why not just make it 100%? Or, fuck it and go for 110%.

that's the american way
why make a normal car when you can make a car twice as large that uses twice as much fuel and cant turn round corners?

it makes no sense to me
why make something 90% of the original size? why go to all the effort so that you can say "it's actually 90% smaller than the original - isn't that interesting?" and push your glasses up your nose

They sound like really good aircraft according the Air Accidents Investigation Board.

That landing gear control does sound excessively complex.
The prop pitch control also sounds sub-optimal.
The engine failure though can be directly attributed to an incorrect installation of the Cylinder Head Temperature probes during the build.
In short, I'd not be getting in one unless it had been flown by someone else. A lot.
