Hey everyone, sorry for my absence, my honey-do list finally had me cornered, so I had to finish some home projects. I'm getting back to the Zero and have some progress to post.
L16pilot, thanks for the great pictures on your Zero, it's looking so good, please keep up the great work and the progress pictures!
I'm having kind of a problem deciding if I should sell canopies, it was not my intent, but I really appreciate the positive comments on my work, it really does seem over the top, but I'm glad those that have seen my work like it.
ZERO-322 started this thread and not to mention all the sucking up he is doing! lol! I must bestow on him a complete ready to mount tail wheel and a few canopies for his masking pleasure!
Well well well.... You know, when you put a scale tail wheel on a plane it just begs to have the main gear done right, wouldn't you agree? The Zero is an easy plane to do, not to complicated. So I went down to Walmart and inquired about Zero accessories and they told me they were right next to the Japanese ceiling fans. There they were, a set of Zero gear, now that is service! lol!
Seriously, I just modified a set of standard 3/16" struts. They work great and should look even better painted black. The scissors are made compact enough by mounting them to the scale location. The Zero struts have some funky angles, but they are correct, I compared them with a picture of an actual Zero to get the angles as close as I could.
