Today I present Mike Purcell’s, Nick Ziroli plans, P-38. Mike bought the kit built plane 10/2022 and it maidened 10/2024. Come watch the photo build log and maiden flights.
From Mike:
Plans: Nick Ziroli P-38. 114” wingspan (1/5.3 scale)
CG per plans: 5 1/2”. Gear down
Weight: 54 lbs 4oz.
Engines: Brison 3.2 cc gas x 2
Props: 20x12 props (2 blade JC Super props, and 3 blade Mejzlick)
Radio: Spektrum iX-20E and AR200Txx. Receiver
LG : Sierra nose gear, Robart main gear
Paint: AutoZone car paint over fiberglass, primer
Xx clear coat over silver paint.
8 major mods from Ziroli plans
1. Fiberglass nose for maint access.
2. Engine box (engine, tank, throttle servo, ignition batt, ignition module all in one unit) for ease of annual maintenance
3. Counter rotate props - turn in towards pilot. ( eventually not ready for the maiden)
4. Elev, Rudder servos in booms moved forward into the Main LG area - helps CG and easy access.
5. Engine exhaust exits down booms & exit out radiator’s ducts
6. Solid booms over wings for greater strength.
7. Radiators detailed out.
8. Homemade cockpit parts by Mike. (JPWarbirds 3D printed instrument panel and steering wheel)
Brian Taylor (introduced through Dan)
I called and he said there’s a P-38 advertised on RC Groups. I called & purchased Oct 31st, 2022. I drove from VA to Flint Michigan on Veterans Day weekend. Then to Brian’s house to go over our new acquisition.
So we collaborated almost everyday
As to what actions each would tackle. Brian always called me to discuss hurdles or new ideas.
We solved them together. Moreover a “brotherly friendship” grew out of this project and love for replicating the P-38!
Additionally, Mike made 6 trips to Brian’s house and we worked a good 12-16 hr days.
FYI: Brian has a Building service called Taylored Warbirds. He has previous Ziroli P-38 experience with his, nose-art Honey Bunny , twin Quadra 50s.
