Pizazz is a great airplane. It's my hover trainer right now. Check out minnesotarc.com. There's some great videos of pizazzes at our field. No tips to speak of really, the os 70 is such a great choice for this airplane. 13x6 prop and you're rockin'.
Enjoy!

I have a Pizazz with the OS 70 II and APC 13x6. It does seem to hover a little better with the 13x4W and I've even run the 14x4W but it spools up a little slow. Mount your elevator servos in the rear just before the stab. I cut holes in the fuse side, added some servo rails, and went with pull-pull to each elevator using HS-225MG's. Then the rudder servo was mounted in the bottom of the fuse. I didn't need any tail weight using this method, and I have ailevator set up to help the torque rolls. I like the way it flies but I've flown better hovering planes. I would like to sell the Pizazz I have with the OS 70 and get something like a Razzle for a Saito .91 I have. I think the Saito .91 would even be good in the Pizazz but at 5.5lbs it's getting up there already. I have heard of a Pizazz with a 91 two stroke ducted fan engine in the nose. Talk about hover power!

When I got home I looked into an engine swap on my Pizazz. I pulled the OS 70 Surpass II off the Pizazz and compared it on a scale to the Saito 91 I bought at the swap shop. It's hard to believe, but the Saito 91 was actually about 1/4 ounce LIGHTER, and it fit directly into the same mounting holes as the 70 Surpass. I found that the Saito 91 is a very bored out Saito .65. It's lighter than both the Saito 65 and the Saito 80. The HP ratings are 1.1 for the OS 70 and a whopping 1.6hp for the Saito .91, a 50% increase with NO weight increase. I put a 14 x 4W prop on it, swapped out the gear and wheels for a little taller one, and I'm still at the same 5.5 lbs on my Pizazz. Holy cow, I can't believe that Saito 91 was lighter than the OS 70. I know the OS 70 is not considered light and the Saito .72 is three ounces lighter than it. OS should put their engines on a diet. If Saito can do it why can't OS? Now I will have ROCKETING POWER in the Pizazz. I have Pinhead to thank for the idea, he told me over the weekend that he wanted a Pizazz with a Saito 91 on it. I thought that was too heavy until I looked into it. Luckily I had a Saito 91 that I picked up NEW at the local swap meet for $150. I can probably sell the OS 70 for that and break even.
