Crash & Burn, I have put my DA-85 in a Comp Arf 2.3 Extra, 90" ws. It was designed around the Da-50 motor. My weight came out at 20lbs40z. I have been flying it most of this summer HARD with no structural problems or issues. I am concious of my throttle though and can tell you at wide open throttle it IS fast. I am not familliar with how the wood structure is on the EF extra, but I did significant mods to the c-arf up front to hold it on. Allthough its alot of fun, i can say i did it, been there, but i would probably not do it again. I just wanted something with ballistic performance, and that it is, but it is really sensitive on the throttle. One click of throttle goes from hover to climb out. I played with throttle curves and that helped, but like i said its a hand full just keeping the foreward speed down.....Gene
