Mick Reeves retract system.

Installing the Mick Reeves retract motor as per instructions yields a very convincing slow non symmetrical operation in the 1/6 Spitfire.

Highly recommended.

Spitfire MK923 engine test.

Engine test for the 1/6 Scale Mick Reeves Spitfire.  I always do a long ground test to make sure there is sufficient ventilation for the engine.

1/6 Mick Reeves Spitfire Maiden.

Here we have the Maiden flight of the Spitfire at RAF Coltishall September 2005.

The landing was a bit rough because the starboard OLEO twisted as the model was slowing down on the runway causing it to skip to the left.  Just goes to show that even with the most careful preparation things can still fail!

1/6 Mick Reeves Spitfire Flight #2.

Another day at RAF Coltishall later in 2005.  Nice day out as usual.

A fitting tribute to the most important British fighter:
The Supermarine Spitfire.
