- I will unbox the 67.7" Phoenix Model ZERO A6M GP/EP 15% scale, 1.20 or 20cc sized ARF (PH196) as well as visit a REAL Nakajima-built Mitsubishi A6M2 Zero on display at the National Museum of the United States Air Force™ at Wright-Patterson AFB near Dayton, OH.
This is the first episode in a series of videos where I'll be putting together this Zero from box to field ending with at least one flight video and review.
Episode 2 - Ailerons & Flaps: • Install Ailerons, Flap...
Episode 3 - Elevators & Rudder: • Install Elevators, Rud...
Episode 4 - Cowling & Exhaust: • Install the Cowling & ...
Episode 5 - Flight & review:
"The Mitsubishi A6M Zero [Rei-Sen] carrier-fighter was Japan's premier fighter of World War II and remains one of the most revered and iconic aircraft in Japanese aviation history. The Mitsubishi Zero's ability to best Allied fighters early in the war caught the West by surprise."

Working on one of these myself this build season. Looking forward to watching your build!
Hope you enjoy it! Feel free to let me know anything you do different! Next episode (wings) is almost done.
I have this plane.....you will really like it. The covering is incredible
Cool plane. I’m looking fwd to the build vids. When is the first flight for the Gilmore?
Thanks for watching! The Gilmore has flown 3 times. I wanted to wait to get a better tripod head so my wife can film it with my nice camera vs. an iPhone like we just did with Perestroika. This month for sure!
Very nice plane. I might end up buying one of these. Are you happy with your Zero?
So far I am. I have not flown it yet, though. All reports I've heard is that it's a great flier.
I'm loving this.
So it's a color scheme of an a6m2 but cowl and exhaust for a a6m5 ?
from my research, yet. But I'm in now way an expert.
Are part of the retracts plastic ?
Not a fan of the printed covering at all. Funny as hell that my Spitfire has the same pilot as the Zero though.
Yes, some like it, some don't. Hopefully this series helps you decide how much folks don't like it...or like it before they buy the plane. Thanks for watching!
What C of G did you have on completion please?
Have you flown it, if so at what c of G have you ended up with?
I'm setting up by the book...but have not flown it yet. I'll let you know what I end up with. Thanks for watching!
Really nice but a little to much "weathering"
Absolutely fair! My goal is to make sure folks get a good closeup view before buying to know exactly what they're going to get!
If you notice since horizon bought tower the Phoenix plane listings have very little detail and information some don’t even have photos and it’s not because they don’t have it. I remember when this plane came out, there was tons of pics, information, and even video like all the Phoenix listings on tower had. BUT if you click on a hanger9 plane theirs tons of info, pics and video. I hate tower sold out to horizon, I’ve never cared for horizon, even their website is garbage and now they’ve ruined tower. Hope they aren’t trying to drop Phoenix. If so I hope a good company can pick them up and run with it. Phoenix has been great to this hobby for a long time with a great product at unbeatable prices, which have hiked since the horizon take over. At least you get retracts included in the price with Phoenix.
I don't think I can argue with anything you said. Thanks Jacob!
@@djmoosecom can’t wait to see the flight video. I have a 20cc engine needing a home. Trying to decide what to get
I strongly dislike Horizon. The lack of info on Tower Hobbies is pathetic. Hobbico declared bankruptcy. Horizon bought them out, this included Tower Hobbies. Horizon said Tower Hobbies wouldn't change, but boy has it. If it's not foam and doesn't have AS3X Horizon doesn't really want to sell it and didn't really want you flying it. They suck and I simply detest having to do business with them.
nice plane but lose the crappy music
Agreed.
Thanks for the feedback. I pick different music for each plane.
I liked the music
