3-D or not the Pizzaz is a blast to fly. I would not discourage anyone from owning one. I personally could not get mine to 3-D. It would knife edge and knife edge loop,but you had to stay on it the whole time. It also had to have the fuel tank less than half full.
I started out with a .50 2-C on mine. I mounted it last. The servos cant be moved around in the plane for balance. So I mounted everyting but the engine. Then put it on the CG stand and slid the motor back and forth to get the CG I wanted. I had my battery behind the servos. You can slid it back there with the servos out. Then the servos hold it in place. It flew great with this setup but needed more power. After I landed it inverted on the runway.(another story) I decided to put a Saito .72 on it. I slid it back on the mounts as far as it would go. I had to cut a U in the tank cover to clear the intake pipe. With this setup I had to turn the gear backwards to get the CG back were it was. The difference in power was night and day.This is the idel setup for a Pizzaz. Mine is on mothballs right now. My flying skills have improved a bunch since I put it up. All this talk makes me want to get it back out and try it again. Maybe with spoilerons this time.

Good luck,
David
