RE: Royal Kits
For those looking for a Royal P-51 kit.. I came across this ad... I'd jump on it but I have too many planes as it is!

RE: Royal Kits
I discovered where most of the royal kits and plans went! Ever look at the plans for the guillows b-17 and other kits?
The darkened areas, outlines and templates are similar to royal plans. Further more I scaled up their plans for the Rufe and they match the Marutaka Rufe plans exactly without any deviations!

RE: Royal Kits
I am guessing this is coincidence. If both companies attempted the best outline possible, both plans should be close if nearly exactly the same. Sounds like for the B-17 at least, both companies did a good job? Perhaps both plans used the same 3-view source to loft the plans (Royal frequently used Paul Matt 3-views).

ORIGINAL: Zerofreak
Hello
Here is my Royal Zero (A6M5-b mod.52).
It was finished and flown in year 1997, therefore the picture quality is not so good.
I made several modifications on it, like rectractable/springloaded main gears with doors, homemade rectractable/steerable tail gear, switchable lights, homemade cockpit with open/closed window, homemade fully inclosed muffler, modified engine cowling with dummy exhaust stacks and dummy three bladed propeller and spinner.
In the wings I built in a 2 degrees wash out, like the real Zero, for better stall caracteristics.
The Zero was fitted with a Super Tigre G90 engine, JR-radio and Futaba servos.
Total weight was 5 Kg and no ballast needed for balancing.

RE: Royal Kits
That is a great Zero! Thanks for the video Zerofreak! It looks like it flies great; how much do you think it weighed? My Zero will stay earth-bound for now since it has a slight warp in the middle of one of the wings. I got most of it out while I was glassing it, but it still makes me nervous on a highly loaded model like this. You did a nice job on yours (that is mine at the start of the thread). I hope you still have yours. -Eric

RE: Royal Kits
Hello
My Zero weights precise 5 kg. without added weight to the nose.
But unfortunately it crashed badly because of a pilot error, and was not rebuilt again before it was thrown away.

RE: Royal Kits
Gosh...I wouldn't have asked for the video....but I understand the curiosity. Fly and all" 13.5 pounds is one of the heavier I have heard of, but I haven't weighed mine yet. What is 5Kg in American pounds? Thanks for the video Zerofreak; it is a success story....for a time! If you have the guts to fly'em I am right with you. One can only hangar so many planes.
Edit: Zero... it is also good to admit pilot error. Most here do when it is clear, thanks for the honesty. I think it encourages people to know it is the pilot that crashed, and that we can all be better model airplane pilots! In other words; work on your flying skills folks! A good plane will fly with a good pilot/builder (perhaps I am getting closer). Just the same, build her straight!

I hate to ask, but do you have any pictures of the crash?

RE: Royal Kits
Rebuildable, yes. But some builders only want to build the plane once! The wreckage is usually worth more to someone else.
I have certainly rebuilt quite a few, but they were all someone elses planes. My crashes usually go to the dump as well.
