Introducing FlightLineRC, the new brand from Freewing Models! FlightLineRC will bring you a
new series of propeller driven aircraft at the same level of quality and value you trust
from Freewing. Flightline brings to you the outstanding innovation, exquisite design, high quality,
unbeatable value, and dependable performance you come to expect from Freewing. Thank you for
purchasing the FlightLineRC 1200mm Spitfire Mk. IXc!

Overview:

The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the most popular warbirds in history. This British single­seat fighter was used by the Royal Air Force and the Allies, earning distinction during the
Battle of Britain and throughout World War II. Over 20,300 aircraft were produced with more than
24 variants. The Spitfire's versatility and maneuverability made it a lethal aircraft against Axis forces,
such as the Focke Wulf FW-190. The Spitfire continues to fly in modern times as a tribute to
aviation history and military veterans.

Features:

FlightLineRC's Spitfire is the popular Mk. IXc variant. Over 5,000 of this variant were built
in World War II. The classic Spitfire colors are factory painted and included with the kit are two
decal sets so you can choose which scheme you want to install on your Spitfire. The first decal set
is for MK392, flown by the RAF Ace, James Edgar “Johnnie” Johnson in August 1944. The
second decal set is for MJ586, flown by the French Ace, Pierre Clostermann in October 1943.

This Spitfire Mk. IXc is approximately 1/9.5 scale, with a 1200mm wingspan. Molded
from EPO foam, the main wing and horizontal tail are attached with screws, allowing these
parts to be easily removed for transport. Only a few parts require glue and assembly is less
than one hour! The battery bay is large and uses a magnetic hatch to close it securely.
Servos are easily accessible for maintenance or replacement and proper
ventilation has been designed to keep the electronics cool. The electronic retracts
use metal reinforcement plates and the split flaps, plastic parts, and surface details give
your Spitfire lots of scale realism.

Power System:

The stock PNP version is equipped with a 3748-580KV brushless outrunner motor and scale 4-

blade propeller. W ith the recommended 4s 14.8v 4000mAh lipo battery, the Spitfire Mk. I Xc is very
agile and has a level top speed of 135kph / 83mph. An optional “High Power Upgrade Set” can be
purchased separately t o obtain a level top speed of 1 50kph/93mph. This Upgrade Set includes one
3648-880KV motor, a 1 2x8 2 -blade propeller, and a 2-blade spinner.
