I was reading about this the other day, it`s a nice idea, however they have not mentioned anything as yet about a suitable powerplant,somehow I doubt very much a 4-cylinder Rotax will do the job ;D
Good luck to them.
Maybe a silly question, but why would you build a Spitfire nowadays? Sorry if it's mentioned in the article, which clearly I haven't read.
