Was the spitfire better than the hurricane?
the hawker hurricane was the most commonly used aircraft of the RAF (Royal Air Force) and was the one that shot down most enemy aircraft during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War shooting down at least a 60% of the enemy planes. It consisted a single seated aircraft with a solid base with machine guns, designed and invented by Hawker aircraft ltd in 1930. However the Supermarine Spitfire was a newer invention and was a more maneuverable and was quicker and more lethal,designed and produced by Vickers Armstrong in 1928. It could easily match a german Focke Wulf or a Messerschmidt. It had a better visibility in the cabin and was the favourite of any pilot who flew it. Despite its advantages over a Hurricane, less were produced. So in conclusion I would say that the Supermarine Spitfire would be better. I hope my answer is usefull as it is the first time I answer at Answers.com Thank you
If a Hurricane had a dog fight with a Spitfire who would win?
The Spitfire is a much more famous aircraft than the Hurricane and in so many ways was undeniably superior.The Spitfire was faster, considerably faster and was far better constructed. The Hurricane, however was far more maneuverable, had a greater range and a higher operating ceiling.The Spitfire had 8 machine guns whilst the Hurricane had a mere 4. The Hurricane was outdated before it even saw service and was effectively a follow on to First World War airplanes where as the Spitfire was the first of a more modern style of plane.All things considered it would be a very close thing. In the end it would come down to the pilots involved. The Hurricane was outclassed by virtually all the German craft it faced and yet still won through. The Spitfire too punched well above its weightclass.It should be easy. It should be the Spitfire. Instead we are declaring it a draw and are putting it down to the pilots on the day.

Does spitfire make good grip tape?
Griptape is griptape, there is no good or bad with it. But, if you get the choice buy something like mob or jessup griptape rather than spitfire as spitfire specialise in wheels and you might look a bit stupid when you say you have spitfire grip.
