3. The Spitfire Mk1a handles very well in flight and that’s not down to good design alone, but a good
pre-flight set-up too. Before you fly your Spitfire please follow the recommended settings below
for optimum handling and performance.
*Elevator ‘low rates’ 10mm ‘high rates’ 20mm in either direction from neutral.
*Rudder ‘low rates’ 15mm ‘high rates’ 35mm in either direction from neutral.
*Aileron ‘low rates’ 14mm ‘high rates’ 22mm in either direction from neutral.
4. Flaps on the Spitfire should be set for 3 stages (up/no flap, mid flap and full flap). Either via your
radio or mechanically by turning the clevis’s on the flap control rod (or via both in most cases), set
mid flap to approximately 40°degrees and full flaps to approximately 87° degrees to the wing. In
the ‘up/no flap’ position ensure the flaps close fully without straining either servo. Also ensure that
both flaps deploy equally at every stage.
