Spitfire Wingbox Repair and Upgrade

After flying my Flitetest spitfire and my BF-109 (basically the same fuselage), I found my front wingbox getting really weak and started tearing out. So  I repaired it multiple times with hot glue but it kept getting weak.

So I designed a reinforced wingbox that easily mounts in place of the foam wing supports. Built out of 1/8in birch plywood it should be strong without adding to much weight.

It works great and you can still access the power pod. Now there is no reason to cut a whole new fuselage when your wingbox weakens. I have created an easy to follow how to video.

This mod can be installed during initial build of the FT Spitfire.The kit is also available for the BF-109 variant of the design. Here is a how to video.

The Plans or Pre-cut kits are available at the Attitude RC Store.
