Default RE: VQ A6M5 Zero Build Thread

Had to break up my posts to fit the photos in.

I have a few shots to show the Aileron and Retract servo mounting locations. Noticed the hardwood mounting rails for the retract servo. Also noticed the details in the printed covering.

As I tried to fit the retract, I noticed a few things. I had to cut the ABS plastic in the retract opening back to the mounting rails to allow the Hobbicos to drop in. Also, the Hobbico retracts needs to be modified to allow the coil over to come to the retracted position. I don’t know but maybe Tomas at VQ Warbird can tell us if the VQ retract will not have this problem. (Thanks Tomas, now I got another web site in my favorites… Looking forward to see the P38.) Basically, a corner of the Hobbico retract had to be filed away, to allow the coil to sit in the retracted position without interference (see pic.) Also, noticed I had to cut the ABS wheel well, this cut served two purpose. One, to allow the coil to come down in the retracted position, second the ABS wheel well does not sit flush on the retract mounting rails… there is an 1/8” gap ( I am trying to show this with a wire in the gap.)
