    The Spitfire is one of my childhood favorites. I was a young boy in Wiltshire, UK when they were filming the movie "Battle of Britain". During school hours, we'd see all kinds of WW2 aircraft flying overhead, sometimes with fake smoke belching from engine cowlings. One of the Heinkel 111s that was being filmed for the movie flew directly over our school during playground time and began to emit really dense movie smoke from the right engine. As you might imagine, all the boys in the playground started screaming about how another "Jerry" had been hit and we were having a whale of a time. As a Royal Air Force brat, I got to spend some time up close and personal with some of the movie aircraft, including my personal favorite, the Spitfire. It's a shame that Britain hasn't been able to/chosen to restore and showcase older aircraft like the US has been able to. Granted, it's an expensive proposition, but once people like myself pass, all those experiences that I had pass too.

      This review is awesome and the p38 review is the reason why I will order the Prusa Mk3 and 3dprintlab models but guys...I get "seasick" real fast and would like to suggest not to video only left turns, please fly some figure 8's, much more pleasing for the eye and the stomach :):) Keep up your fantastic work!

      Ordered my mk3 in feb. I comes in april. This will be one of my top 10 first prints. If you're going to order one just remember they're on a good 2 month delay trying to get them made and shipped. Even the kit version

    Your two touch and goes and the landing were three of the best I've seen in any RC videos. Makes me really want this plane!

    I am in awe with this plane, what a wonderfully built machine. Up until recently, I was living near a monument to two spitfire pilots who died during a dog dighting training accident. I was privileged every year to witness two Spitfires roar a mere 200 feet right above my house in a full speed pass. Thanks to the boys at flight test for your great content and thanks to Stefan (?) For an amazing design.

    I love WW2 war birds. That spitfire was beautiful, so graceful. Josh, the way you flew that plane was majestic. That spitfire would look awesome with WW2 markings and the RAF paint scheme. Fantastic job.

      They need to print a Bf 109 E and fly them together.

    • @FliteTest
      @FliteTest  6 лет назад +3

      Thing flew fantastic, no trims needed! Josh had a BLAST... but I’m sure you could tell that from the video haha ;)

    @fCauneau 5 лет назад

    Incredible job and so humble when you just say "3D printed" !! In fact, when we see the in flight capacity of this model, it's obvious that to obtain the requested stifness of the 3D-printed structures is an engineer work by itself. I'm much much impressed !

  • @michaelknott4361
    @michaelknott4361 6 лет назад +1

    Well done flying it FT! The flying is super scale well done, the touch n go's and landing was PERFECT and thank you, Stepan, for designing an awesome 3D printed flying Spitfire!

  • @GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop
    @GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop 6 лет назад +61

    Awesome, i recently got a large 3d printer. i will definitely have to 3d print some of his planes, they look so scale. i really like it when they are so realistic.
    Another great thing about these 3d printed planes is that if it takes a hard landing or crash, you can just 3d print the broken parts overnight and be flying the next day. Great stuff FliteTest, i am liking these 3d printed plane videos👍👍👍

    • @GarryOzols
      @GarryOzols 6 лет назад +8

      The beauty of the design is that even with this large scale model, an i3 sized printer is all you need, no need to go large format.
      I have an i3 clone so 200x200x200 build volume and I will be printing one of these soon.

    • @GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop
      @GreenGeckoLegoTechnicWorkshop 6 лет назад +1

      yeah, mine is 300x300x400mm. it's quicker to have a larger bed because you can print more things at one time.

    • @FliteTest
      @FliteTest  6 лет назад +1

      Truth is no matter the size it can all pretty much get printed! Ha 3D lab prints has done an amazing job with all the designs and we’re def looking forward to working with them even further ;)
