I am assuming that the Spit is the Assuie replica, but who makes the FW? Is
it a kit or a one off job?

FW was made by Terry Kronk of Toowoomba Australia - have to find out more
info re FW and Spit.
Will get back asap.

The Spit is a kit from the US, Jim Wickham sells the kits and can arrange
assembly if required.

I believe the FW was built from plans drawn by Gordon Brooker. IIRC it's a
80% semi-scale experimental.

To me, the FW makes a better-looking replica with the availabel
engines. I have no idea about flying qualities of either.

Thanks for that Raven.
They both looked great on the ground - did't get to see the Spit in the air
(I rushed outside too late) but got a look at the FW as it flew over home -
was going like a scalded cat!!

I believe Terry Kronk has a second FW.
