Default I'm building a Royal Cessna 310Q, need help

I have been looking on ebay for a royal Cessna 310Q kit. I finally got one for a reasonable price. I have started to build the kit, I forgot that these kits are not easy to build.
I know there is one link to a building thread, but I need more info, if I can find it.
I am thinking of 2 Saito .56 4 stroke engines, what do you think?
What kind of retracts? Spring air preferred.
Should I build in flaps?
I was thinking of modifying the nose into an R version, has anybody else done this?
The kit came with a full cockpit kit as well. I am studying where to put the servos, receiver,etc. The cockpit will take up a lot of the cabin space.
Since I fly turbines, I really like brakes, I plan on using unibrakes (these are now being sold by Robart)
I am not after pure scale, but I would like a nice scale appearance. I will probably cover wiht Monkote, I'm too lazy to glass, prime, sand & paint.
I am just searching for any ideas, tips & tricks from anyone who has experience with this kit.
Photos are nice if available. I want to build in any mods while in the skeleton phase of building.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
