Hello fellows
I seem to be having problems finding the GWS Spitfire in the slope version. I ve been told that they are not made anymore.Maybe some hobby shop has one on the back self somewhere.
Thanks Ted

Insufficient profit margin?

I bought a GWS Corsair slope to replace my Zero airframe from Horizon Hobby. Most hobby shops don't carry the slope soar versions.

(I just came from Hobby Hobby and they had a Spitfire electric kit, $68 )

do you actually plan to slope soar with it? just curious as i've got a couple of the powerd versions and they don't glide very well

what's different with the slope version instruction are included for both in manual and nothing seems different other than batt placement and lack of motor

With the slope version you can paint it any colour you want. And you don't get a motor you don't need .
I will keep looking .
Thanks Ted

I just ordered one (GWS Spitfire) from Sky Craft and they said that they can get it from the wholesaler in TO around 50 bucks I think he said.
Sky Craft is in Burlington. Also the wholesaler name is Parker Model
Maybe he can direct you to a dealer that can help you out.

Hope that helps
