Finally i've stepped in the actual giant scale aspect of this hobby with this Ziroli DC 3 that will be my biggest model in the fleet, i also have ordered short kit of Ziroli P 38 Lightning but there is still a lot of time for 38 to come and take shape.
I'm thinking on getting retracts custom made for this model also, as it will be made from more durable and robust material then commercially available Robart retracts. If custom ones didn't materialized then Robo's are available to relies on.
Model will be powered with 2 x 38CC engines, either Quadra's, US engines or another brand as long as they are updated with electronic ignitions.
It will be next winter when i will start building this model, as i have couple already on the go, one being S Connie is on last phase of construction, then Concorde will be worked on during the summer season. After these two models, this DC 3 will commence.

Presently plan is to get all the material, engines, landing gears, electronics for it during these coming months, so when i get to it, i will have all on hand. I like to know from guys who have built and flown these models, what servos are you using through out this model. IS there a huge concern of weight issue with it, or being HUGE model, weight is not on high priority....What are the areas to have concern about while building this model and are there any special methods used in the construction of this model. Still waiting for plans to arrive in mail...

Livery i have in mind for it is: 1975 era's Saudi Arabian Airlines green and blue stripes livery. My father has flown on Saudia's DC 3s and when i was a child, i remember seeing Saudia's HZ-AAX derelited at old Jeddah's airport, but it was recoverd, restored during 80's and 90's back to flying condition and it is presently preserved in Riyadh's Air force museum painted in it's original livery wearing it's original registration as SAR-1. This was it's first registration number when in 1945 President Roosevelt gifted this aircraft to King Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia.
