Isaacs Spitfire is a single-seat sport aircraft designed for homebuilding by John O. Isaacs, who previously worked for Supermarine and was also a schoolmaster and the creator of the Isaacs Fury. This model is a 6/10th scale replica of the Supermarine Spitfire and first took to the skies on 5 May 1975.
Mirroring the original Spitfire's design, the Isaacs Spitfire features a cantilever low-wing monoplane layout with a semi-elliptical wing shape. Its wing structure consists of twin spars constructed as a single unit, primarily using spruce with birch plywood covering. The fuselage follows the same construction technique. The aircraft is equipped with fixed landing gear and includes a tailwheel.
Plans for constructing this aircraft are available for purchase by amateur builders.
