<---not ghost--- Sailor said . ----> flew ok for a while then got into a spin Fly said --> Sounds like stall, often called a 'tip stall' (technically wrong but a common description). These happen much easier and far more common on warbirds. You have to keep the speed up. You go into a turn too slowly, the down wing stalls, and down she goes, often very abruptly and fast. LOL  |

Fixed the SC now with a new firewall and found out why I crashed it twice in row. I've now got a Spektrum 6i and the rudder works off the aerilon setting which was reversed so when SC veered off to the right after take off I of course gave it some left which meant in effect more right, the rest is history. Lesson is pay more attention to pre flight testing and not just move controls and see a response.
Getting the Spitfire back together but one of the retract wheels not working and no stock spares available so probably remove the wheels and hand launch, landing on grass.

do not feel bad sailor Everyone at some point has done that, wrong direction, reversed servo, forgot to flip a switch etc etc....it happens to everyone at some point.
Double check your CG and controls on the Spits before you give it a toss..remember to throttle 100% and pitch it at a gentle angle, not to steep or it will stall.
Good Luck.
