Default YS DZ 175 advice required


Hi all,

It has been some time since flying pattern and therefore I need to get an existing model in the air to teach myself how to fly again.

I have been looking at the electric options (which there are numerous) an I feel I am not ready to make a choice as to what to use at this stage.

I have been trying to get a couple of old DZ160's sorted out to fly but I am not comfortable with the reliability and dont have the time to sort them out for the time being.

I am thinking of purchasing a DZ 175 CDI (cheaper than what I paid for 160DZ's 8 years ago Hmm) however I need some advice

1)What props are people using on this engine
2)How much oil
3)How much nitro
4)Spark plug life?
any additional information which will assist me to transition from a DZ160 setup.

Thx

Peter
