Default IMP Macchi C.202 with ZDZ.40

I have a IMP Macchi C.202 kit and am concidering very strongly putting a ZDZ 40 in for power. Anyone have any experience with the kit? What engine did you put in it, and how did you have to disburse the radio and lead to ballence it. What was the finished weight of your model? Anyone with ZDZ experience? I've herd a lot of good about these engines but have never seen one actually pull a plane into the air? Their web sight says the engine weights 3.4# with ignition, how much does the pitts muffler weigh?

Default Macchi & engine

Paladin: I have an IMP Macchi 202 in kit form. I talked at length with Greg Namey before I purchased the kit. He relayed that the guys were using OS 1.08's to power them. These planes were in the 12-14 lb weight range. I had decided to use a Webra 1.20 for mine AND to keep the weight at 13 pounds max.
When I get around to it I will probably use the Webra, or possibly a Super Tigre 3000.
I have all the goodies for the kit, so it will be a competition class , scale effort. It is a refreshing break from the "usual suspects" on the flight line.
I can't help you with your decision about the ZDZ as I have no experience with that engine at all.
Good luck & happy landings Tony
