Clipped like fore skin.

Those full wings are unsightly.

I love the little "i hate the spitfire!!" kiddies who jump on the bandwagon because it is seen as a 'dweeb' plane in Aces High.

Personally i prefer the full wing. It is magical when you see a Spitfire in a hard turn/climbing turn and hear the roar of the engine.

^I wouldn't read into it too much, Furball.

Clipped is uuugggllly and not the real 'spitfire' look.

The full wing is what gives the spit its distinct profile.

Aside from the fact that I dislike the spit in-game, the full-wing spit is a beautiful aircraft

Your photo. MB882 EB-B being flown by F/L Don Smith RAAF, April 1944 from Friston. Corresponded with him for a while too. MB858 EB-D often flown by F/L Bruce Moffett ( I have his logbook). Also later flown by F/O Don Tebit. (also corresponded with him)

Don Tebit in MB858 and F/L Terry Spencer in MB882 EB-B flew the last operational Spit XII flight in September 1944.

So there! Yeah I'm a Spit XII junkie

OK so I couldn't help my self showing off a bit.

Just had to one up me, didn't ya.

All that spit info + first hand look at that race kingcobra.

Color me green.

I prefer the look of the full wing but when I get to do this to so many and done to by so few then clipped is ok with me:D

I prefer clipped ones ever since that was a try from the british to avoid me shooting their spits\' wings off... didn\'t work for them

agreed I prefer the real short clipped wing version

However when I flew them, I liked the spit 9 or the seafire that I fly from time to time off a CV. Other than that IMO Spits are too easy to fly.

Standard wing and Griffon engine, please!

Standard wing ... preferably the "old" Spit V that we had, dressed in "Malta Blue".
