Zdz-80 Quick!
I ordered my ZDZ-80 from a company in Germany, amelung modellbau or [email protected] . I had the motor in my hands within two weeks! Total with shipping $520.00. This is a good sized single-banger, great looking motor. Always a skeptic on manufacturers claims but they say she will put out 8.5 horsies. I plan to use it on the PCM 1/4 scale BF-109 G I have on order with Pat.

80
Manfred, I plan to use the same engine on my PCM 109. I got the 4th kit that pat put out and so far Ive finished both wings. You might want to look around to see if anyone makes or will make a prop spacer extension for the engine to move it rearward to take advantage of the larger cowl area for concealment. Pat used a 3w75 in his prototype and used a 1" spacer. Also, He placed 4th at top gun with the 109 and won some other awards also. I bought a Zdz 40 to use in my miss america mustang to try the zdz's out and I must say I really like them, so the 80 is a natural for the 109. Do you plan to use the scale gear? Check my webpage for details on my construction.

Evan,
Yes I will order the scale gear and probably the wheel set from Glennis. I plan to use the Hermann Graff Version Red One with the red tulip pattern nose art and solid white tail. I notice PCM has priced the cockpit kit, have you ordered one? I will use the wing cannon pods instead of the rocket tubes Graff often flew with. Have you made any arrangements for the leading edge slats? And finally, anyone make a quarter scale Luftwaffe pilot? Might have to design my own.

109
Manfred, I have not ordered the cockpit kit yet, As Pat said that they were not ready yet. I plan to order one later. Ive got LOTS of work to keep me before I need the cockpit kit anyway. Cool choice on the Graf scheme, I always liked that one. Did you know that Hermann also 2 brothers that also were Luftwaffe experten? Im still deliberating on schemes. I like Hartmans but I still think Rall's black 13 would be different. Now if I can only get someone at RCshowcase to answer the phone....
