You might not need to even put CF on the plane at all. I would just buy the airframe first and add up the total weight of all the parts. Then get the weight of every thing you are going to put inside the bird. Add er all up and find out what you get.

But HTS, would you rather pay $600 bucks for a DA-50, or $400 bucks for a motor just as good, the DL-50. I was the same way too, I thought it would be cheap. Boy since I seen them run and fly at the feild, I was amazed. A guy has a 87" yak at the feild with one. Unlimited vertical on it. He posted about the cg on this thread, and his name is FL Big Mac. Take a look at his avatar, that is the yak with the DL-50.
