Default Will Hobbies Zero Flies

Hey guys I got the first flight in on my Will Hobbies Zero. I must say it flew a lot better than I expected it to. I pulled the covering off the wings and sheeted where there was no sheeting between some of the ribs. Then I glassed it using Lukes method with the 3M scratch filler. That is a great system, thanks for sharing Luke. I then added some cheap Robart mechanical retracts(big mistake), and added panel lines with chart tape and primer. I repainted the whole model with Warbird Colors Paint, that stuff is GREAT, I used less than ten ounces of color on the whole model. The model is powered by an OS 120 FS, still running rich, plenty of power. Need to work on the retracts, servos did not have enough power to pull the gear up in flight, something will get changed. I am going to try and down load some photos, sorry no vids.
