A6M5 Zero Green 1580mm (62") Wingspan - ARF from Nexa - NXA1017-001
The Mitsubishi A6M "Zero" was a long-range fighter aircraft formerly manufactured by Mitsubishi Aircraft Company and operated by the Imperial Japanese Navy from 1940 to 1945. The A6M was designated as the Mitsubishi Navy Type 0 carrier fighter, or the Mitsubishi A6M Rei-sen. The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the Reisen (zero fighter), "0" being the last digit of the imperial year 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy. The official Allied reporting name was "Zeke", although the name "Zero" (from Type 0) was used colloquially by the Allies as well.
The Nexa A6M5 Zero is an electric or gas .46-size aerobatic airplane with a 1580mm wingspan. The Nexa Zero is constructed primarily from balsa wood \/ light weight ply and covered with a fuel-resistant covering. This ARF requires installation of the servos, retracts, and power system of your choosing (our recommendations are below). Note - servos, retracts, and power system are not included. This Zero features functional flaps, a fiberglass cowl, a painted pilot and other scale details. The large battery hatch affords ample room for either electric or gas setups. Impress at your flying field with this iconic World War II axis warbird!
Please Note: Struts pictured are optional shock absorbing struts. More basic wire struts are included with the plane. The optional struts are located in our "upgrade" or "spare parts" tabs (coming soon). Also, the drop tank is not included.
