It's second hand, only partially broken in. He advertised it as a G62, so I assume its a magneto unit. Hasn't arrived here yet so I can't confirm. In retrospect I wish I'd researched better. I'd much prefer the ZP62 with the electronic ignition, if only for the ease of setting up a remote kill switch.

So magneto ignitions don't require a battery? I feel like I should know that from my full-size days. I guess that also explains why a regular remote kill doesn't work.

I've been using LiFe batteries in my electrics for receiver & servo power. I am a fan

Prop: starting with what the manual recommends, 22x10. May play a little once it's broken in & I have some level of comfort.

Thanks for the info about oil. Been wondering about that & spark plugs. The manual, like all manuals, says to use only genuine Zenoah parts. From my searching, finding actual Zenoah plugs is like finding a needle in a hay stack!

Once flying season gets here I'll have some buddies that already fly gas that I can get help from. We're spread over quite a wide area though, so we don't see much of each other over the winter.
