    thousands of hours of flying time. The Spitfires have been g-rated tested to +6-4 with a built in safety factor of 25%. Even today we still improve the aircraft for form, fit and function under the strictest engineering guide lines. Recent improvements is the 2.25wide steel single leaf spring gear for the single seat and a dual leaf for the two seat model. A higher nose stance of the aircraft promote easy takeoff and landings. See the Accessory page of the web site mentioned above. You will find that the single and two seat model carry safety and integrity thru out the design. We have mounted other engines such as Hirth, and Kawasaki engines and even experimented with turbo-charged two cylinder half VW engines and all have flown successfully. The HKS700E series would make a good combination for the single seat Spitfire or Clipper series ultralight. Giving good reliability and performance statistics. Although engine mounts are not yet available for these models. We only build on a one to one basis, so if your in a hurry to get a kit or a plane, go somewhere else because we take our time to do a quality job and do it right. Come vist us and see the Spitfires for yourself. We always have one available for a test flight. Sincerely Kim Zorzi CEO All test data have been accumulated at standard air temperature, sea level, at 15C. Or 75 degrees F. Standard pilot weight of 175 Lbs. Spitfire II pilot weight of two pilots of 175 lbs. Each. Maximum pilot weight not to exceed 500 lbs gross on Spitfire II and single seat 300 lbs. Gross wt. Spitfire single can be outfitted with Spitfire II wings if aerobatics are to be considered.
