Fliskits A.C.M.E. Spitfire (SP007) Basic Information.
Fliskits
MODEL NAME: A.C.M.E. Spitfire Also known as: ACME Spitfire, Spitfire
NUMBER: SP007
Introduced: 2003
Final Year:
Designer: Jim Flis
Type: Oddroc
Motor Mount: 1x24mm
Recovery: Parachute

Mfg. Description: A.C.M.E. Spitfire: Without question the most unusual, imaginative and bizarre kit to ever be produced! Bent in ways that would surely prevent stable flight, the ACME Spitfire delivers arrow straight flights time after time! One of the most talked about kits available today! (Fliskits 2005 Web Ad)
This is more along the lines of something you'd expect to see racing through the desert after some strange bird rather than into the wild blue yonder!
So, here's the story... ...Ever have one of those days where nothing is going right? I mean by the BUCKET load! I fire up the ol' computer to do some more work on the latest kit design for FlisKits and what do I find? The file has gotten corrupted, the computer is acting up and my mouse is skipping and jerking. But I have a job to do, get this design in the bag and into production. Well it was a long night and it wasn't until I woke the next day that I realized what had happened to the design. Then it was too late and we HAD to make it work!
Well, no, that isn't really what happened... What really happened is my son came up to me one day with a cartoon and said "Hey Dad, bet you can't make THIS fly!" Now, what was I to do?? So I took the challenge and the A.C.M.E. Spitfire is the result!
Don't let its simple lines fool you. This is a quite complex model to build! With 7 Centering Rings, cutting and customization of Body Tubes and rolling your own Nose Cone, there are challenges here that you won't find with other kits.
But the results??
You want to shock your friends? Do you want to give your RSO night terrors? Want to prove a point to your physics teacher? Get an A.C.M.E. Spitfire and do all of that in seconds! Then astound everyone, including yourself, when the A.C.M.E. Spitfire turns in one beautiful, straight flight time after time after time!
