After reaffixing his propeller without the spinner, David successfully flew his 3d-printed Spitfire for the first time. This is a large and heavy plane that flies well and has a real presence in the air. Unfortunately he misjudged the landing. I feel partly responsible because I suggested that he change the circuit direction to fly into the (very gentle) breeze, but he would have been more comfortable landing in the opposite direction with a right hand circuit. I don't think that he will need to fully reprint a new plane as the only damage seems to be along some fuselage sections.
