Conversation Between DrScoles and Ballslammer

Dr. Scoles my name is Johnny.I am new to the forum I have also sent Tom LX trim a message.
I am very excited as I am about to purchase the CARF spitfire and the kolm il135. I would like to find someone who has built this model and could give me advice on a list of the accessories needed to really make it fly well. -such as cooling issues any templates for mounting the engine, how to strengthen the model in critical areas.
Should I go with air retracts or electric a steering tilt wheel ,retractable tail wheel, or not.
Which servos to use as I was considering the hitec 645mg??
How long has it taking you or do you anticipate it taking you to finish yours-I would love to see pictures of it.
I want to thank you and let you know I appreciate your time and any help you might could give me:-)
