With the success of the MK25 and the MK26, the idea was hatched in mid 2004 to produce 90% spitfire due to the demand from our customers.  Who were looking for a comfortable two seater aircraft with the same performance of our earlier marks! Throughout the designing of the MK26B spitfire there were
considerations to keep the kits simple and the build time down so that the builders can get the aircraft flying in less that a year, but is still a challenge to build.  The prototype took
just over 8 months to complete with all the tooling, cad drawings and setting up for production.  And the reaction from Mike O’Sullivan CEO and designer of Supermarine Aircraft after the first test flight was “I did not think that it was possible to fly nicer plane than the MK26 ” The MK26B is designed to house our V6 or V8 engines with out any modifications.  It also has under wing radiators as an option which gives it that final touch. It has sold well since going into production

Undercarriage
The landing gear is retractable (electro-mechanical) and gas-strut assisted. An emergency release for landing gear can be initiated by the pilot. The wheels can be individually activated and use a similar locking system to the original Spitfire physical “tell tail” pins which rise up on the wings to indicate leg position are standard in the kit. Undercarriage warning lights can also be added.
The six-inch wheel rims are custom made to match the original Spitfire looks and dual caliper disc brakes are used in combination with fully adjustable pedal controls.

Fuel System
The fuel tank is forward of the pilot and behind the engine as original. Volume is 150 litres. A fuel level sight gauge is mounted on the instrument panel.
The Spitfire also has a wing tank option available This increases fuel volume by approx 40Ltrs.
