Hi everybody

A very interesting thread!

Some weeks ago I also received my Zero. It's a very beautiful model [X(] I already started working on it: http://www.wegier.ch/Modellbau/Baube...7/Default.aspx (unfortunately only in German). If you wish I can publish some of the pictures from my blog here.

Configuration:
- Engine: MVVS 45 (in US sold as EVO45) with a Krumscheid muffler
- Retract: Eurokit classic air pro 15kg (30lbs)
- Maingear wheels: DUBRO 4"
- Tail gear: KDH
- Servos: JR C-5191 (flaps and aileron), JR C-5077 (elevator; maybe I replace them by C-5191), BlueBird BMS-660MG/HS (rudder and tail wheel)

I placed the servos for the rudder and the elevators close to the CG in the fuselage. I hope to be able to adjust the CG only with the two batteries (two 5-cell 3600mAh NiMh batteries) and without any lead. Does anyone have expirience with that? Can the lead be avoided when the servos are not placed in the tail? I hope to get the weight below 9kg (18lbs)

Currently I'm working on the integration of the retracts. Therefore I removed the attachement for the retracts as described by Joe [sm=thumbs_up.gif] I hope to get the Zero on her own legs until the end of next week

Best wishes from Switzerland
