I can tell you that the fuselage used to be a Taylor Titch...

Here's what I have from my bumf:

60% scale Spitfire MkXIV

Wingspan - 21ft. 6in.
Wing area - 74.sq.ft.
Length - 17ft. 5in.
Height - 4ft. 5in.
Wing loading - 12lb./sq.ft.
Power loading - 13.57lb./hp.
Load factor - +/-6G
Empty weight - 606lb.
Gross weight - 950lb.
Never-exceed speed - 200mph
Stall - 45mph
Climb rate - 500fpm @ 75mph
Cruising speed - 115-120mph @ 2300-2400rpm

(note: This isn\'t the Isaacs Spit. I like this one because it has a 3-piece wing, and is a lot lighter and almost as fast for less power)
