Getting this plane for Xmas. Don`t plan on doing any 3-D flying just sport.
Do you think a G-62 will be enough for this plane or should I think about a larger engine.

I just ordered one too, suppose to be here Thursday. I got a ZDZ 80 for mine. The people I talked to said it is lighter and a little more user friendly with a slight bit of more power over the Zenoah.

I'm doing one with a G-62, and describing it as an "entry level IMAC model". So far, 23 pounds without the muffler. Using Hitec 5945 servos (overkill, but I had them here) Nothing "extra" added, probably not even a real pilot figure. Should be a fine flyer.

Lee R.,
While the G-62 will fly this plane in circles, the vertical performance will suffer greatly. 3D is not the only reason to have plenty of horsepower under the hood. A lot of IMAC maneuvers require plenty of thrust for good vertical performance. If you don't already have the G-62, I would seriously suggest choosing an engine with more power. The ZDZ80 single is a great choice for any SA plane up to about 25 lbs. It has almost twice the HP of the G-62 and weighs about the same. This plane is a big investment any way you cut it, IMO you might as well do it up so you won't be disappointed with it down the road.

How did the plane balance out any weight needed

Here's a thread with a lot of info on the 330S.

I totally agree with Stick Jammer. It is better to overdo it a little that to underdo it and have to go back and spend more money fixing it.
