Thanks to John for recording this flight for me. Here is a link to his YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/JohnVH541

This plane comes alive with 4S power! It flies great on 3S, but a good 4S pack gives it a ton of energy in the air as you can see in the video when it rips through the skies performing rolls and loops with ease. You can also see the retracts and flaps in action.

Making a cameo in the background is the brand new E-flite Night Radian RC Glider. If you blink, you miss it lol

Speaking of John, we recently recorded some awesome flights with his new Avios Albatross from Hobbyking. Look at his channel to see that and more footage!

Here are my review notes for this Durafly Supermarine Spitfire variant:

Pros:
- A cool concept version on a classic WWII Warbird with tons of scale accessories that comes with three different scheme options.
- It is a great size for easy transport and still large enough to have a bigger plane feel to it.
- Flies great on 3S or 4S 2200 lipo batteries
- Very good flight times
- Scale flaps
- Retracts with rubber tires
- Nice bright LED lights
- A solid 3 bladed prop
- Ball link servo connectors
- It is quick and easy to adjust the tailwheel with provided tool

Cons:
- The stickers can be a little tricky to apply until you get the hang of it. After that, it is pretty easy.
- If you aren't familiar with now the servo connectors work, it can be a little confusing. After you get a feel for them, it seems second nature.

Here is how HobbyKing describes Durafly's latest offering:

"Imagine, the roar of a Merlin as a Supermarine Seafire launches from the deck of a carrier in the South Pacific to become one of the Heros of the Pacific. The Seafire was the navy's version of the legendary Spitfire.

Durafly has once again shown its unique and creative style by bringing to market for a first time to Durafly a "What if" scheme. The Durafly 1100mm Seafire MkIIb has been designed with a spectacular blue color scheme similar to the planes flown by those honourable men of the United States Navy in the Pacific Fleet. Included with the Seafire we offer three different, unique sets of decals. United States Navy, Fighting 101st, Battle of Midway - 6th June 1842 Pilot - Capt. Zach M. United States Navy, "Christie Maria" Battle of Coral Sea - 7th May 1842 Pilot - Mark "Biggles" Fenlon. Royal New Zealand Air Force South West Pacific - 16th May 1843 Pilot - Lloyd "Pa" Freeman.

Being a Durafly plane you can expect the highest attention to detail for a plug and fly model. Especially when it comes to warbirds, including, scale parts, faithfully reproduced split flaps, servoless electric retracts, a scale outline, ball Links on all controls, fine surface detail and a premier paint finish along with an operating LED navigation system. There is a powerful motor is coupled with an Aerostar 50A ESC providing exciting scale performance and manoeuvrability. The Durafly Seafire is designed for 3s and 4s setups.
