Hi Craig,
I use a pair of SpingAir 400 at 85° for the main and a 100 for the tail...
Two add'l small servos in the tail to drive the wheel, for a total of five in the tail.
Fortunately, I have the a123 pack under the hood to balance...
4" wheels for use on grass field.
Very strong !

I still don't know if I will build the wing in one or two pieces...
Advise please !

Hi Guys,
I'm considering this plane for my first giant scale plane. Flying experience includes a lot of micro edf and a .40 Sig Kavilier with numerous other glow and electric between these sizes. The assembly will not be a problem. What do you think? Way over my head or not?

I will need the wings to come apart. Is it as simple as not glueing them together?

Jumping back on to let everyone know how happy I am with the new retracts on my Zero. Got them from lenny@shindinmachine.com I sent Lenny the one I had so they were copied for size. Old Hanger 9 mechanical ones they just never held up the plane and I had allot of prop strikes. The new ones were built very strong and haven't failed on fifty so landings. I would recommend Lenny to a friend.

Were can I find a Japanese Pilot for my Zero?
