Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the FlightlineRC 1600mm Spitfire Mk. lXc!
FlightlineRC is a leading brand produced by Freewing Models in partnership with Motion RC aimed at
bringing you a new, exciting series of propeller driven aircraft at the same level of quality and value
you've come to expect from Freewing Model's EDF aircraft and other products.
FlightLineRC inherits Freewing's goals of outstanding innovation, exquisite design, high
quality, unbeatable value, and dependable performance.
The Supermarine Spitfire is one of the most popular warbirds in history. This British single-seat
fighter was used famously 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. The Spitfire
continues to fly in modern times as a tribute to aviation history and military veterans.
This FlightlineRC Spitfire Mk.lXc is approximately 1/7 scale, with a 1600mmm wingspan and
1350mm length. It is molded from EPO foam, featuring a scale shape and smooth surface. The main
wing is assembled from hollow parts and an interlocking plywood and carbon fiber frame, providing
lower weight and higher strength than a solid foam wing. The main wing and horizontal tail are attached
with screws for very convenient transport. Proper ventilation is also designed to keep the electronics
cool. The large battery hatch and removable battery bay floor provides easy access to an organized
battery and receiver compartment.
The stock PNP version is equipped with a 5055-390KV brushless outrunner motor and scale 4blade propeller and BOA ESC. With the recommended 6S 4000-S00OmAh lipo battery, the
Spitfire MK.IXc has a level top speed of 125kph/75mph, with tall vertical power and 4-8 minutes of
flight time depending on throttle management. To enhance grass performance, the main landing gear
uses shock absorbing Oleo struts, a main wheel diameter of 85mm, and a tail wheel diameter of
45mm. Metal reinforcement plates, thick steel strut pins and axles, and metal trunions work
together with the suspension struts and soft wheels to dampen the forces caused by operating this
aircraft on rough runways. The FlightlineRC 1600mm Spitfire Mk.lXc was optimized for very gentle
handling, suitable for intermediate pilots and above. The Take off, flying performance, and slow
speed handling is especially stable. A very predictable stall and power on recovery make the
aircraft easy to control throughout any aspect of flight. Bright LEDs also aid in the visibility of this
large and beautiful foam electric model aircraft.
The FlightlineRC 1600mm Spitfire arrives completely painted and with national insignias preapplied. To personalize your Spitfire, included in the box are two optional decal sets, depicting the
aircraft of Squadron Leader F.A.O. Tony Gaze (MA621 DV-A) and Lieutenant Michel Boudier (BS383
GW-Z).
NOTE:
under the instruction and supervision of an adult. Please keep these instructions for further reference after completing model assembly.
This is not a toy. Not for children under 14 years. Young people under the age of 14 should only be permitted to operate this model
Note:
1. This is not a toy! Operators should have some basic experience. Beginners should operate only under the guidance of
a professional instructor.
2. Before beginning assembly, please read through the instructions and carefully follow them through the build.
3. Freewing and it's vendors will not be held responsible for any losses due to improper assembly and operation.
4. Model airplane operators must be at least 14 years of age.
5. This airplane is made of EPO foam material, covered with surface spray paint. Don't use chemicals to clean as it may
cause damage.
6. You should avoid flying in areas such as public places, areas with high voltage power lines, nearby highways or airports
or an other areas where laws and regulations clearly prohibit flight.
7. Do not fly in bad weather conditions, including thunderstorms, snow, etc...
8. Lipo batteries should be properly stored in a fire safe container and be kept at a minimum of 2M distance away from
flammable or explosive materials.
9. Damaged or scrap batteries must be properly discharged before disposal or recycling to avoid spontaneous combustion
and fire.
10. At the Flying Field, properly dispose of any waste you have created, don't leave or burn your waste.. Ensure that
your throttle is in the low position and that your radio is turned on before connecting the Lipo battery.

Horizontal Stabilizer Assembly
1.
Before assembly, remove the battery compartment and the fuselage pushrods in the plastic
tube. Install the ball-head buckle on the pushrods. Then insert the rudder push rod from tail
fuselage section into the front fuselage plastic tube.
2.
Insert the elevator push rod from tail fuselage section to the front fuselage plastic tube.
3.
Use the included epoxy glue to attach the front and rear fuselage. During the gluing process,
take special care to ensure that NO GLUE enters the plastic control rod tube! If any glue does
enter the tubing it will inhibit the control rods ability to function, therefore impeding the aircraft's
ability to fly. Proper execution of the build is the responsibility of the builder, Any such damage is
not covered by the manufacturer or vendor warranty.
4.
Use the included epoxy glue to attach the foam parts A and B to the fuselage.
: EPO glue is included with
the kit. Spread the glue evenly
and wait 90 seconds before
installation.
1. Install the left and right horizontal stabilizers to the fuselage tail.
2. Turn the fuselage over and use the 4 screws to secure the horizontal stabilizers

Note: If you choose not to use the factory servo,
the servo you choose may be larger. If that's the
case, you need to remove the fixed wooden
platform and glue the servo to the servo position in
the fuselage.
1. Insert one side of elevator pushrod A through plastic tube B, to servo arm C.
2. Snap the ball head buckle of the elevator pushrod to the ball on the rudder horn, D.
