Parkzone Spitfire RTF Electric Warbird!

"The Parkzone Spitfire is an impressive yet affordable
ready to fly electric powered warbird!"

Parkzone Spitefire MkIIB

The ParkZone Spitfire MkIIB is a miniature version of the most recognized British fighter of WWII. The Supermarine Spitfire, with the help of the Hawker Hurricanes, altered the course of history by holding off the German Luftwaffe at the legendary Battle of Britain.



Stunning Scale and Performance and Appearance

Often referred to as "the fighter that saved a nation", the Spitfire became the centerpiece of the British Royal Air Force after its impressive performance at the Battle of Britain. The Spitfire's elliptical wing design set's it apart from any other warbird of the era. The ParkZone Spitfire looks eerily realistic as it casts its signature elliptical silhouette across the sky.

See the Spitfire in Action!



Ready to Fly Right from the Box!

As with every other ParkZone airplane, you can literally have this electric RC airplane in the sky the very same day it arrives at your door step. It comes with a fully proportional 3-channel FM radio system including the batteries. A rechargeable Ni-Mh battery pack with a variable rate DC charger comes with the package. The motor, receiver, servos and everything needed to make it fly are already in place. No gluing, cutting, tweaking or cursing. All you have to do is attach the wing and tail and wait for the battery to charge before taking her to the sky!



Re-useable 3-Channel Radio System

3-channel ZX10 Radio for ParkZone Spitfire

The 3-channel Zx10 transmitter along with the servos, receiver, and speed controller can easily be used in other electric planes of similar size. So if "dumb thumb" your new plane into the ground, all is not lost. You can buy new parts for the Spitfire, or try out a new electric plane without having to drop the cash for all new components.

There are very few ready to fly airplanes on the market at this low price that give you the flexibility of dual rates. Start out with the calm and gently flying characteristics of low rates of "Mode A". With a flip of a switch to "Mode B", you will transform your Spitfire into a raging high-energy wardbird capable of beautiful loops, victory rolls, and Cuban-8’s. The flexibility of dual rates provided plenty of growing room for the aspiring RC pilot!



Battery Pack with Charger

The Parkzone 10.8V 1000mAh Ni-MH battery pack along with the ParkZone 5-10 Cell DC Peak Charger are included with the ready to fly version of the Parkzone Spitfire. I highly recommend investing in at least one extra battery because you'll be itchin to take off again as soon as you land!

LiPo Pack Compatible

Speaking of growing room, when you feel like you can handle the challenge you can easily upgrade from the included 9-cell 10.8V 1000mAh Ni-MH battery pack to a 2200 mAh 3S LiPo battery This is basically like putting your Spitfire on some serious steroids! Parkzone 2200mAh 3S Li-Po Battery w/Charger

ParkZone made it easy for to upgrade to a LiPo pack by including necessary pigtail, or connector for a LiPo battery. LiPo packs require special chargers specifically designed for LiPo packs. If you don't already have a LiPo charger, it's much cheaper to buy the battery and charger together as a package.



X-Port™ Adapter for Combat Module

The ParkZone Spitfire MkIIB comes with an X-Port™ adapter so you can plug in a ParkZone combat module. Take on your buddy's ParkZone Focke Wulf to recreate the Battle of Britain in your backyard!

These drop modules really are loads of fun. It's a lot like playing laser tag in the air. You never get tired of laughing at your friend's plain gliding to the ground after you've scored a hit!

The cheapest way to get this bird delivered to your doorstep is the order from Red Rocket Hobby Shop.
