> 1) What are some of the gotchas I need to worry about?
If you decide to paint, be very carefull not to put on too much as they end up tail heavy very easily.
> 2) Has anyone gone with a ZDZ 40 for this plane and if so how does it fly?
I used a Zenoah 45 in mine and it balanced spot-on. The ZDZ40 is very light so you will have to use pull-pull or push-rods for your rudder and elevator. Even then you might end up tail heavy. BTW - The G62 & the G45 weigh almost the same. Your choice should be determined by the altitude where you live. A Saito 300 twin looks very cool and the heads look scale too sticking out of the cowl!
> 3) This plane is too good for plastic so I will cover it with cloth any suggestions for someone who hasn't used dope in about 25 plus years?
I used 21 Century fabric on mine. No need to paint and looks very good. It is more expensive than plastic film but is very scale like. The only other down side is that it weighs more than film.
>4) Anything else someone who as built this think can say to help me with this project.
Keep it light!
Safe Flying!
