1. Mitsubishi A6M Zero   2. Mitsubishi A6M Zero   3. Mitsubishi A6M Zero   thats all i'm after

i'll try my hardest to keep it light because the heavier it is the faster it's going to be so it wont look very scale in flight thanks for all your replys AL and i will post some pics when it's complete im hoping around april-may time   LES

Hi Al i know i've confused you  lol i just gave a weight of 2.5lbs incase i want bigger batterys ' scale it up ' rear gunner' front turret gunner etc etc all i wanted to know is if the wing loading would be alright?   

hi Al the weights going to come from the aluminium tape it weighs 5.5 grams sq yard ( 3 foot by 3 foot) plus im going to be adding loads of detail like rear gunner' windows etc

thanks for the reply i'm thinking of a max 6.5lbs or just under but would it be alright to increase the weight this much?       Edited By drifter on 11/02/2010 14:43:15

thanks timbo and va that rests my case i'll go for the ar6250 receiver for piece of mind doesnt cost the earth really  now i think it's time to get ordering my tape

hi all i put a post up on rcmf asking this. Hi all i've just ordered a artf b17 flying fortress from general hobby in the states (link) http://www.generalhobby.com/flying-fortress-bomber-electric-airplane-p-72.html?osCsid=7e5cd49a9f9ca95ba15ecee8fe0409ec  just waiting on it turning up     its my first big balsa and ply plane and i've only got just under a years flying experience'knowledge. i'm going to try and scale it up a bit with additional windows'panel lines'rivets etc as per the real one and want to cover it with aluminium tape i've read on another forum that the aluminium weighs 5.5 grams per sq yard but im not sure what the wing loading could take in weight i know the auw is 4.5lbs but would it hold an extra 2-2.5lbs on the wing if i went to far with detailing   i got a reply back saying not to bother because i'll lose the plane in flight as the signal will be lost due to the covering shielding the signal and also the person doesnt recommend using silver coating as for signal loss.   im using a spektrum dx6i with ar6200 rx 2.4ghz what would your thoughts be on this matter i really would  to cover my model to be like this (link) http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=830738 thanks in advance LES
