Is this the Kit or the ARF? I should be getting my kit tomorrow.. One guy on RCU built one with a DA50 and lots of trimming to knock out the weight.. He got it to 14.5 lbs.. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10...tm.htm#1056994 I plan on getting a cf wing tube and gear, light wheels, a good amount of trimming using ideas I got off some of the great carden builds here on FG |

I've built two kits. If you build it stock, you'll need a G-62 up front to ballance. Loosing weight in the tail is a must if you use a lighter engine. They fly good, but if you can lighten them up a bit they fly excellent!!

If I can get the weight down on the tail I'll go with a DL-50 of not then a LSpro/CK 50cc twin or a G62 The twin is about 1 1/4 pounds lighter then the G62 but down 1/2 hp.. DL-50 is up 1/2 hp on the G62 and still 2 pounds lighter. |
