The FTE dummy radials are nice but they are heavy. I built one for my TF P47 and looked great and worked good with a 60cc. Once I switched to an 85cc the cowl mounting blocks started breaking. Guess the weight of the dummy and vibes from the 85 are too much for the blocks. It would probably work good on the zero though. The only thing I'm dreading about the zero build is the cowl and removing and reinstalling it, looks like a pain to line it all up.
