Default RE: MARUTAKA cessna Skymaster Kit questions

Ive got one of the Royal 336s under construction. I'll try to post some pictures this weekend.
It is definately a builders kit, lots of balsa blocks to sand and shape. Plans show some detail drawings, but not much other drawings.
I am doing a rare NAVY version. I think the modelli kit shows that version. Its Blue and yellow. I have 2 40's installed and hope that will be enough to power it.
A friend has one, and has 2 OS 40's and seems to fly just fine. Either engine out does cause a marked loss of speed. but it is able to maintain altitude.
The nice thing about the pull/push twin is that you can get by with two different types of engines or even sizes.
