Just put the maiden flight on mine and it flew very well. The CG device included in the kit was spot on. Not a touch of trim needed. Have you been able to fly yours?
Can you do us a favor, please show us the motor and prop , battery combo and test with a watt meter for amp draw battery volts sag and of course watts .. I always tether mine to a fish scale to get an approximate lbs of thrust reading to see where I'm at I don't rely on watts alone then I can change props to see where the best amps to thrust ratio for a given prop .. It helps to determine the battery size and weight to get my flight times as long as possible. at least for me c/g and flight time really matters
I will in the next video...however, it might not help as much as you think....JUST because I went with a Dualsky 3500R 12S motor....so I'll be running 12S 3300....and that will probably only be like 40-45 Amps at full throttle. Most people will run a 6S or 8S 5000 setup which will def draw more amps. Yes, that will make my Zero a little heavier...but I'm hoping I can play with location and not have to add anymore nose weight like others have had to (check the forums) with a typical RimFire 1.20 motor.
@@djmoosecom Thanks I really like Dualsky and Sunnysky motors , I run those in just about all my models I putting in Dualsky XM 5050EA-14 515 KV it's for .82 4 stroke power it swings 17X8 electric prop.on 5s. in my Phoenix models .46 size corsair I chose it because of weight needed in the nose . excellent motors.
MATE great videos , BUT this is NOT the end , please show fitting the motor , fuel tank batteries etc , then the maiden flight for trimming etc , then and only then will i make a desission to buy this here in Australia , thats is when our suppliers get this model with electric retracts , insteed on the one they now have with only mech retracts !!!!
Will do! I'm planning on all of what you described in the next Zero video...but that might not be for a while. Also, just to be clear...I'm not trying to sell these...I'm simply trying to provide the info I'd like to see before I made a purchase. I'm totally happy if someone sees these and decides this is not what they're looking for. (and same the other way as well)
@@djmoosecom thanks for reply ,yes i know your not selling them , but thats ok , im just looking at the videos to see if i want to buy or not , as i just nearly finished my seagull master balsa kit build , i was checking the qualitry difference etc , keepup the great work mate , looking fwd to next vid
Great series ! I'm in Europe and now you really got me wanting the zero
Thanks so much!
Its coming out nice I cant wait for the flight review.
Thank you Rafael!

Awesome man! Thanks for the heads up! I have NOT flown mine yet. Very Very soon!
