Default Ziroli Hellcat Suggestions, Tips, Etc.

Hi all,
I am getting ready to start my Ziroli Hellcat. I just received the plans today, and boy, is it a big bird!!!
I have been in rc for over 20 years but recently have spent most of my time flying helis.
It's time now to do a really nice scale warbird. Do you have any suggestion, etc. that you have learned from building and/or flying the Ziroli Hellcat?
I am thinking of going with a twin cylinder engine for smoothness, and probably the built-up fuselage. However, at this point, I am open to any suggestions you may have. Also, I don't want to cut all those parts out myself, and want to go with a pre-cut kit. What is you experience, opinion on the different kit cutters?

Thanks!!!

I suggest you build it by the plan. guys sometimes think it better to BEEF it up some,but it's not.It will require some nose weight even with a big twin engine. I have a G-62 in mine and carry about 6lbs. of nose weight. If you add extra to your tail section it will cost you alot later.It fly's very well. I think all of Nicks plans fly pretty good. good luck.
