SKippy’s Guillow’s Spitfire RC Conversion – Maiden Flight Near Disaster & Fix

After finally getting a break in the weather, I took the Guillow’s Spitfire out for its maiden flight — but things didn’t go to plan. The flight quickly turned into a near‑disaster, but after reviewing what happened I’m confident I’ve found the cause. A repair and a bit of sorting later, and she’s now ready for another attempt as soon as we get calmer conditions. Unfortunately the wind picked up again today (and looks set to stay that way for the next couple of days), so the next maiden attempt will have to wait. But she’s repaired, prepped, and ready to go when the weather cooperates. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel — more flights and builds coming soon.
