The DA50 is on now. Put in 0.75 degrees additional right thrust and decreased the down thrust by the same.

Hi,
My bird will fit a DLE35RA. I think is a good engine for this plane. Does anybody reinforce the front ? it seams very fragil to fit a gas engine. I will try to epoxy inside of the front. I will post some pics latter. |

This fuselage is long!
Nice ARF. All kitted out now. All that is left to do is connect up the flaps. DA50 Hitec HS-7954SH digital servos Futaba RX Tech-Aero optical ignition switch Jeti dual redundant magnetic switch LiFe batteries The DA50 is overkill, but we fly at high altitude so it nets out to be nicely powered year round. The magnetic switch is mounted on the inside of the fuselage, so no external switches. The optical ignition switch LED is mounted in the instrument panel. All the electronics are in the back, so CG is perfect as is. I replaced all the horns and control rods out of preference. |

We have been very happy with this plane. Great ramp presence and super fun slow and low passes.
Putting on the floats for a Sept Float Fly. See below for a great pic and FPV air to air video that a couple of attendees at our recent local fly-in were gracious enough to take.
