Title: Giant 1:5 scale Japanese Mitsubishi A6M Zero with Fuel Tank Drop
Post by: DominicM on September 16, 2018, 03:50:16 PM
Gregg gave us a superb demonstration of his super scale Zero at the North London MFC Scale Day. Built from a Meister plan. Wingspan is 108 inches. Overall weight is 40 lbs. The engine is a Sachs Dolmar 70cc. Features a detachable fuel tank which he dropped towards the end of his flight. Fortunately it wasn't full so it didn't explode on impact :)

Yeah...Gregg and his Dad are masters of their art. Has to be said.

Sir,
You really get around. To all the places I can only dream of.
Where is this place? Looks like where Ali's Hunter exploded.

Regards

Yes. Same location as that Hunter disaster. North London Model Flying Club in Baldock, UK.

Sooner or later, sir, it'll be my pleasure to track you down.
Meanwhile, watching Essential RC substitutes rather well for watching the action live.
Thanks for continuing to post on this forum.
Regards
