A6M Zero 2385mm (93.8") Wingspan from Black Horse - Balsa Wood ARF - BHM1002-001
The Mitsubishi A6M was a Japanese carrier-based fighter aircraft. It was the world's first monoplane shipboard fighter to enter service and the direct predecessor of the famous Mitsubishi A6M "Zero". The Allied reporting name was Claude.
This version of the Black Horse Zero includes electric retracts for the mains as well as shock absorbing CNC landing gear. The model is scaled to approximately 1:5 and attention was paid to a true to original appearance and best flight characteristics. The model can be operated using an electric power system or with an internal combustion engine about 60cc displacement.
