Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

HI All,
Toledo is near and I am probably going to pick up a couple of things for the Black Magic ( or actually decide on a few things and order through my local hobby shop)

1) I have decided to paint my Black Magic and was wondering what weight cloth folks are using and what resin. I have actually had sucsess with .75 oz cloth and polyurethane as the resin, as well as ZAP finishing resin 50/50 with alchohol - any thoughts would be appreciated
2) Have not yet decided on servos. I am going to focus on coreless digitals, but am open to speed/torque suggestions. I will be flying with A123 packs unregulated, which will be 6.6V
3) I have a 170 Dingo with the short Hatori header/pipe - Wondering on best fuel. I fly helis as well, so I guess I could feed it 30% cool power heli, but I would like to know if someone has other suggestions
4) Also, along the YS 170 DZ topic, I am very expereinced with YS 2 stroke heli motors and Saito 4 strokes, but not so much on YS 4 strokes, other than really struggling to get a 140L to run one season. before I tear my hair out - can anyone give me pointers on the care/feeding/ and especially starting procedures for this marvelous beast?

Many of you have offered your help on previous posts and I thank you for your help so far and for your responsies here - I haven't been this anxious to get a new ship flying like this in many years!
