@@stevec7596 I 100% agree. I couldn't believe it didn't have a carbon spar when I was printing it. I was pretty certain the wing wouldn't be strong enough but it held up even through some high G maneuvers.
I end up using epoxy often for 3D prints, because CA glue rarely seems bond well enough for me. Which is odd because CA glue is often recommended. I think I figured out the problem. I'm in the In Utah desert and where the humidity stays about 20% I found out CA glue reacts with humidity in the air. I wonder if CA glue just sucks in dry places.
I also live in Utah, and haven't had any issues even during the hottest and driest months of the summer. I use ZapAGap Medium CA and occasionally the Gel Loctite CA for all my builds, and I have yet to have a plane fall apart from glue failure. They usually fall apart from operator error! I also use WAY more than I probably should.
Nice build. Seems crazy to not have any reinforcement though. If you prop it for more speed the wing would probably fold.

build an eclipson model 3d next
where is the 5bladed propeller unique to the griffon spitfires
also, instead of using ca glue, why not use epoxy to hold the wings together?

The model spitfire is MASSIVE. It does not fly very LOW, its performance does not TAPER, and it will never FADE from history!
sorry guys!!!!
