    Hello to all, it's been a while and I've been quite busy-- I finally had a chance to test fly the A6M5a Zero and it flew well, other than structual retract mount engine problems she did very well. I still have some more tweeking to do but I think this is going to be one of my better flying...

    The P-40 was a total bare bones kit with fuse and a box of wood for the wings and allot of imaginantion. The Zero is what they call a ARF kit (All Ready to Fly) that I traded from a guy who needed a job done bad- I really didn't want this palne at first. This plane was in bad shape when I...

    No, not as complicated as the real gear, the r/c system is a pretty simple air system. This RC gear in the P40 do rotate 90' on a swivel assembly, were as the real gear rotated on a gear and pretty sure hydraulics, and sqaut switches, many vavles etc. Again--the set-up is pretty simple--but...

    Thanks, The prop is not true scale because you may not get the performance needed from a scale prop. The flying prop is 3 bladed 23" x 14 degrees pitch Bolly prop (carbon Fiber), the engine is a 5.8cu 98cc Sachs Dolmar chainsaw engine that I converted. I find a saw and huck all the...

    Thanks John Anthony, the dark green camo is perfect for what I'm looking for, with the exception of the blunt wing tips- I may run the fiberglass wing tips thru my band saw. This paint I'm using matches repairs so nice and easily it would not be to hard. I will keep you guys posted on the build.
