💡 Gator-RC Modeler’s Tip: Taming the Narrow Stance

Like its full-scale counterpart, the Spitfire features a narrow landing gear stance that requires active rudder management during ground operations. To prevent ground loops, apply throttle gradually and keep the tail planted with up-elevator until you gain enough airspeed for the rudder to become effective. For landing, aim for a flared "three-point" touchdown to keep the 80" airframe tracking straight.
