  • Today we join Ian Reed at historic William Bennett RC field in Las Vegas, Nevada as he shows us a fun flight with his vintage FMS A6M3 Zero! Ian bought this nice model a few months ago, and has slightly upgraded it, making it much more flyable by today's standards (Ian upgraded the motor, ESC, and replaced several of the servos.)
    This model was released by FMS about 2011, and Ian seems to think this may be from one of the original batches. A classic RC model airplane for sure, and it's hard to go wrong with a Zero!
    Hope you enjoyed this trip to the field, thanks for watching!

    I had a few of those FMS 1400mm birds. They all flew well, but many were under powered. My favorite was their Hellcat. Oddly enough, the Zero was the only one I never flew.

      Hey there brother! I only ever had the Zero in the series, and I thought it had absolutely gobs of power. Could perform some amazing maneuvers that required some pretty healthy uplines, all of them easily. I shot video a while back of a couple of the birds at SEFF in 2018, (the P-40 and the P-47) and those planes seemed to have plenty of power; in fact the P-40 flat out ripped! Horizon must have been paying attention to that as many of their Warbirds appear to be made by FMS but with Horizon spec equipment. Thanks for checking in my friend, happy landings!

    Great flyer, but forget it if you are off of grass. I've changed the gear for 1400mm FMS P51 3" wheels and oleo's, raked them forward which needed foam cutting, reversed the Battery and esc positions, battery is now low down in the cowl with the esc in the old battery position and on high rates it will just taxi on cut grass.

      I hear you my friend, the Zero is not the best off of grass for sure, but in all other ways she's a pussycat! Thanks for checking in, all the best to you!
