Flite Test Master Series Spitfire True Maiden

Maiden Flight of scratch built of the Flite Test Master Series Spitfire.
I've built a lot of these FT planes from scratch and this was probably the cleanest maiden of all. I barely had to trim a thing. The plane is over powered, but I flew 1/4 to 1/2 throttle the whole time.
Set Up: 4s 3000 mah, motor 3542 1000kv, 11x5.5 APC prop, 60 amp esc.
CG: flew at 1.75 inches (will probably move it back a tad), but it is super stable at 1.75.

Got a question I have a couple dollar tree foam board planes do you have any pointers on getting a sweet paint job like your spitfire

[@martyw72]

Rustoleum 2x paint, very light coats, 3 or 4. Let dry between. make paper templates for camo curves

[@kaustavkapur5532]

Beautiful build! How did you paint it?

[@martyw72]

Rustoleum 2x Camo ultra flat deep forest green/satin granite

[@martyw72]

Very light multiple coat, let dry between each coat.

Thanks Erik. Yeah, came out great. I expected more chaos on the maiden.
