Well... no real "official" news as of yet. Just know that the gear collapsed again and that it is sounds like some further re-engineering is needed. I have sent an email out to try and get a report.

Good! I know everyone is exicted about these planes and wants the projects to succeed.
I cant wait to see one take to the air and make the airshow circuit. There are enough Zeros around now to easily get a formation of the two together for some great air to air shots.

Already happened at the POF Airshow in Chino last year.

I think he meant the Zero and the Oscar in formation, although the two Zeros at Chino were a fantastic sight. Especially trailing the P-40 while the P-38 swooped down from above!

Doh! Of course that is what he meant. My powers of observation are declining with age. Don't worry, you'll get there someday as well!
