Default Parkzone Spitfire Sounds Naff !
Been flying my Johnnie Johnson Spitfire recently and while it looks great in the air .. it just sounds totally wrong.

The light buzz of the electric motor as it barrel rolls and then climbs out is just naff.

Is there anything I can add that will make it sound more life like when its in the air ?

There was a guy flying a warbird foamie at the field the other day and it sounded great. He said something in the motor or prop was un balanced and resonating through the mount. Probably not the greatest solution...
