The Kyosho 11874 SQS Warbird ZERO FIGHTER GP50 ARF reproduces the classic lines of the Zero Fighter while using contemporary modelling materials and techniques. This ARF is aimed at competent pilots who want a realistic scale platform to trim and fly.
Taking cues from the original WWII fighter, Kyosho has modelled the silhouette and control layout to evoke the period aircraft. The semi-symmetrical wing provides a compromise between calm low speed handling and crisp aerobatic capability for scale routines.
The airframe accepts 4 Cycle 56~62 or 2 Cycle 46~55 engines (sold separately), giving a range of throttle response and endurance options. The kit also supports conversion to electric drive using the included motor mount for those who prefer brushless setups.
The fuselage is pre-assembled and covered with printed film to reduce build time, and the box includes linkage assemblies, an engine mount, retracts and a 290cc fuel tank. Attention to balance and control throws during assembly will yield a well-behaved flying model.
Experienced modellers and pilots who enjoy setting up period style aircraft will find the Kyosho 11874 SQS Warbird ZERO FIGHTER GP50 ARF a rewarding platform that handles well when properly trimmed.
