Thanks guys Ithink I am gonna go with the Hi-tec 645mg servos, I have used them in some of my other planes do very well, I am looking at the DLE 85 for my possible power plant. Thy say 2 X the weight equals the cc you need.

Hey guys I went to the Ziroli site and they list the enginies as G62- G85, I have a brand new OS60 CC that could go on it, wonder if that will work .It gets 6 HP @ 7,000rpm.

I have a DLE-85 in the one i am building. The 60 would probably fly it but that plane builds heavy, i am concerned you would be marginal on power. Mr. Ziroli designed a very strong structure.

I've got one and it requires a lot of lead in the nose. Talking with other pilots this summer, I find they are in the same situation.
My other ziroli fighters aren't as heavy.
I've got a GT-80 in mine. It takes extra runway to take off but after a lap, it's up to speed.
A DA-85 or larger would be nice.
One pilot had a moki 150 in his.
