Install the Cowling & Exhaust - Phoenix Model 20cc 68" Mitsubishi Zero RC ARF
Ғылым және технология
The last few steps are to get the front of the plane ready to go. Let's mount the exhaust stacks and cowling.
The goal of this four part series was to give viewers an idea of this ARF, close up views, and how it goes together. The power setup, internals, and personal touches will be covered in a future video.

"The first engine upgrade came with the introduction of the A6M3 (Model 32). The new model utilized a Nakajima Sakae-21 engine. The Sakae-21 was also an air-cooled radial with 14 cylinders in a double row producing 1130hp at 2750rpm. The new engine also incorporated a two-speed supercharger for better high-altitude performance. The powerplant had a down-flow carburetor and a redesigned cowling to incorporate the air intake at the top/center of the engine cowling."
"The new engine was used on the Model 32, Model 22, and Model 52."
"Some slight changes were made to the engine after the A6M5 (Model 52) was introduced. The most noticeable visual difference was that individual exhaust pipes replaced the older grouped exhaust pipes on each side. This allowed additional thrust to be generated by the engine exhaust, but required a redesign of the cowl flaps and additional heat shielding for the fuselage."

Thank you Rafael!
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?

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