Help! What 50cc to get?

I just got my first 50cc plane and am trying to get information on the right engine and servos to put in it.

The plane is an Extra 260 85" wingspan
Overall Length 82"
Wing Area 1636sq in
Flying Weight of 12.12lbs

Looking for a good 50cc engine that won’t break the bank and have the power I will need for this plane. Also what are other flyers using for servos in a plane this size it requires two servos per aileron.

Thanks for any advice

Any four pound or less alphabet 50cc would be satisfactory. Scott over at Dawghouse should have some 3MM TOC 53cc. The DL 50cc is getting rave reviews. And with over 4 billion post, shouldnt you have a better idea than me.

1+ for DA-50... !!!

ZERO problems right out of the box, 1/8 turn in on both needles, using Vess 23A, couldn't be happier....
