FLASH - BEAUTIFUL BELLY LANDER PERFORMANCE! Its flexible modified Messerschmitt prop performs flawlessly and with its slightly enlarged wheel wells it is a snap to hand launch without its bomb load. "Normally" where practical the fighter "bomber" will ROG (roll off ground), gear will retract and after its bombing run, strafing attacks and its heroic air combat maneuvering over the CAP (combat air patrol) zone, the critical decision will be made to either accept the challenge of an ROG landing or a potentially dangerous belly landing depending upon landing conditions.

The Aleutian Zero captured by the Americans during the early part of WW II happened because the pilot tried to perform a normal ROG landing and flipped over, breaking his neck. He might have survived had he belly landed his plane. Experience shows that my Zero's landing gear struts will bend so badly from touch down impact forces when it flips over that the gear will not retract back into the wheel wells. So, while there is still some critical power left the do or die decision must be made before touching down. PREPARE FOR IMPACT!

There is nothing quite like the feeling of actually touching a piece of history! My Facebook picture (see copy below) shows my hand on the wing tip of that legendary Spitfire there in the background.

While preparing for future Zero missions an amazing propeller discovery was made. I wouldn't have believed it myself until actual experiments and repetitions of certain experiments were performed. I found that Parkzone's Messerschmitt three blade prop ( PKZ4901) modified by removing material from the trailing edges of the blades and sanding mainly the bottom flat sides providing a small amount of "de-pitching effect" on the finished prop that is now shaped like the Zero's stock EP-1060X3 prop (same cord and curved shape) works beautifully on my larger park flyer fighters. The amazing thing to me is the small size and large amount of thrust available with this modified prop. It looks good on the Zero and if it proves to be too fragile for use in belly landings, I can always go back to proven two blade props. It definitely looks too small mounted on the Dallas Doll P-51 but performance is so good that whenever belly landings may be called for that little three blade prop will be my weapon of choice.

Rolling in for a bombing run.

Out.
