Country:  | Extremely detailed Zero schematics
Okay, this is going to be a tough one. I work for the CAF where we have a Zero, and lately it's having some tail wheel problems and the plans they have are not detailed enough to prove to be enough help. If anyone has or can find something more detailed than a cut away, something more like a piece by piece, that would be very much appreciated. |

I thought they had that all sorted out.

Country: | Sorta. The tail cone was off again today. Yoshi said that the plans and stuff aren't detailed enough to be of much help. The thing is kinda finicky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't work on the plane, so I don't know very well, but I talked with him today about it. | |

Country: | I know that thing has been temperamental. I guess that's one of the hazards of working on 60+ year old rarities. I wonder if the POF guys have anything that we could copy.

Country: | That's what I suggested. And he said Jason has been talking with the guy. He also suggested the problem might have been common before. It's hard to tell since our Zero is probably the most flown since the war ended. The PoF one only flies a few times a year for the shows. | |

Country: | Sorry guys been gone for a while, My interent provider screwed up and now I have to wait 5 working day's to get back up. Any way I do have this manual from the Japanese archives for a A6M3 zero, link below. Has some blue print drawings but the clarity is not the best. But since Im reading this at work Im not sure it has the detail you need. Hopfully in three more days I will get my home internet back up and then will see if I can find some more info on the subject at the Japanese archives where I found this manual or book.
Hopfully this will help. http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/oth...nual-6098.html (A6M3 Operations manual)

Country:  | Tail Wheel details
Hallo!
In the book "outstanding military airplane of world war II" are some detail drawings of the tail wheel assembly. A photograph of the tail wheel without tail cone is included as well.
hope this helps
