Will the plane fly well on a 3.2 gasser as opposed to the suggested G-62?

Are the Robart 154 retracts the best choice?

If you have built and flown one, how much did it weigh?

Thanks for all replies!

I had a Ziroli Zero with an older T&G 3.2 in it. I kept it pretty light at about 25-27 lbs and had a older T&G Sach 3.1 in it. It was no superstar but a very good everyday flyer. I used the Robart retracts in it. Dont remember the exact number but they were the 85 degree with the straight leg with the. The 154 number kinda sounds familiar. I also cheated on the fuse and made the nose about an inch longer so I wouldn't have to add too much nose weight. I only had to add a bit of weight in the nose to balance it.

Thank you Jack. That is just the type info I need.

Guys,
I am thinking of scratch building this bird!
What do I need to know before I start....
Need a detailed review ...
Any kind of help is greatly appreciated!

My Brison 3.2 swings the same prop at the same RPM as a G-62. I should fly it just fine, however, they do need a lot of weight to balance and the G-62 is heavier. My friends Ziroli Zero with a G-62 needed about 6lbs to balance, & was a very good flying airplane. Felt almost like a .60 size bird on the sticks. Very agile & peppy.
BTW, he is looking for another one, so if someone has one for sell, e-mail me.

Here is my Ziroli Zero G62 27 lbs and about 4 lbs of lead in the nose .
she really flys sweet!!

Here is mine from a couple of years ago. He caught the plane just the right moment.

Does the Moki 2.1 seem like a good engine for this plane?
Moki hp rated @ 4.95
G-62 hp rated @ 4.75

(from ChiefAircraft.com)

This is blowing my mind...the moki being a smaller engine.

sham,i think there is some articles in here on the z zero try a search but if not i think there is one on rcscalebuilder.com. just go to forums and then ziroli.they have some good articles but be patient as it loads slower than rcu.

Hello People, Good!! works! Good Planes! I'm build Zero Ziroli, but i don't now how servos use in aileron and flaps. Do you tell me about this?
Thanks! Best regards from Argentina! Jorge.
