    Seeing we have spent the best part of 7 years in our free time,at no cost designing the spit from scratch in 3D some of the info we didn,t have at the time.Will easily correct the length 🙂
    Cheers

    I speak on behalf of many who say your all have done a bloody marvelous job so no one is having a go..buts its the beauty of sharing information via the forum..finding out those titbits of info we normally would not have.:D

    Hi

    Will try and dig out the column out and take off the spade grip assembly to measure it.
    Never heard of a spitfire replica spade grip which you have to convert to a spitfire grip..sounds like a story in itself 🙂
    Would enjoy seeing pics of your progress…I still have one orginal chain gurad but the brass top was used in the restoration of my own column.

    [QUOTE= What happens if they take the pilot out though??[/QUOTE]

    Well without any past experience the odds of the aircraft crashing in someones back garden may be a little on the high side 😀
