Overview
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.

One comment I assembled the zero with the recommended electric Admiral 10 motor and retracts. I used the 100 amp avian ESC that I had an spectrum AR 637T receiver. One comment I like to make is it is best pthat you build it out with a 6S battery. The plane flies like a real plane not a foamy. It’s best to have the extra power. Use the 14-7-3prop. Ran it with a 5000 MA battery. Total weight with battery was 7.2 pounds. The plane flies great to scale. It got a lot of attention. Would recommend this as an intermediate plane, not a beginner plane. It says the build time is 6+, I’m a pretty good builder and even with having all the supplies I needed it took 14hours. Not a problem by any means, And I do doublecheck everything. Highly recommended. The only problems with the instructions is it has the front of the motor 125 mm from the front bulkhead. This is wrong. It’s a lot less. I think it’s measured from the back bulkhead. So when you mount the motor double check the cowling, so you have the proper room . Just a minor concern

This plane is VERY responsive so I had to dial down EPA and add a fair amount of expo on aileron and elevator. Landing is smooth and predictable.

Great first warbird
Firstly, the hardware I used to complete my build: 1x EMAX 9-gram servo 4x Futaba U-300 servo 1x Futaba R-2006GS receiver 1x Spektrum 2s2200 Li-FE receiver battery 1x Master Airscrew 12-8-3 prop 1x Saito Fa-82 4-stroke...read moreFirstly, the hardware I used to complete my build: 1x EMAX 9-gram servo 4x Futaba U-300 servo 1x Futaba R-2006GS receiver 1x Spektrum 2s2200 Li-FE receiver battery 1x Master Airscrew 12-8-3 prop 1x Saito Fa-82 4-stroke glow engine 1x remote glow plug clip 1x retract set Build went super smooth. Practically put itself together! Included hardware all works well, though I did have a couple minor missing bits. No spinner in mine...that's fine I would have needed a 3-blade replacement anyway...and no engine mounts, but I borrowed those from a derelict in my boneyard. Balance came without any dead weight or crazy part placement! Put the battery right up on the firewall next to the fuel tank. Balance it per instructions. That's where I balanced mine and it's dead nuts perfect. Flight characteristics...I sent mine up for its maiden flight in a 15 gusting 20 semi-crosswind with tons of turbulence and it came back down intact and graceful. This thing flies great, it loves wind, and it does NOT need a gyro!
