and now have their products in over 8 countries worldwide. Over 5 million dollars have been spent on R & D to come

Originally designed
with the 6 cylinder Jabiru in mind, the aircraft has gone on to develop and utilise a range of automotive based V-6 and V-8
powerplants with supercharging optional, allowing for a much wider range of performance that resembles the Original in
a very cost efficient manner. Superb performance figures combined with friendly handling characteristics and not to
mention the unequalled elegance of the aircraft itself make this aircraft a continuing legacy of the Legend it is
based upon, the WWII Spitfire. The aircraft comes as a comprehensive kitset with all components prefabricated, including
the Main and Wing spars and control surfaces corrosion protected and assembled. The fuselage shell comes complete
ready for fit-out and the wings complete and disassembled for packing. Construction time starts at approx 1200
hrs and can vary significantly depending on installation options, builder experience and skill, paint, avionics, etc.
This is a very customisable aircraft that can be tailored to suit a variety of options.
