I do not have the plane anymore. It was bought for a member of my club. I just had it shipped to me as it came with another plane. I can tell you this. Very close in design to AM as far as all laser cut material and jig lock construction. I would consider it a good value for the money.

Guys,
I have this plane.
I have the DL50 with a vess 23a
I used the HD high torque servos.
I did not do the build myself because this is my first 50CC.
A guy at my field did the work for me.
At first, he talked like many others.
Then after seeing the plane and working with it he said it is built much like his Extreem*Flig*t.
My all up weight is 17lbs 14oz. I could trim 10oz. by dropping from a 4200mah battery for servos to a 2700. Might do this but the guy who built the plane and set it up said it would fly every bit as nice as his EF.

This plane has a built up wing, not foam core.
cowl and fuse are designed to accept a canister

Could also cut weight with CF wing tube and landing gear.

I will get some photos and a vid of the maiden posted soon.

Need to find a dynamometer so I can do a static thrust test on the plane.

Yep; I am still waiting on the maiden. I now have two 50CC planes.
THe other is a Hangar 9 Extra 260 27%
I used the Bluebird Servos on this.
THe same guy built the plane and he is not quite finished.
Hopefully we will get some decent weather and my schedule will coordinate with it and up we go.

Just hold on to it with a good fish scale and see how many pounds of thrust it generates!!

I have bought several planes and items off the nitroplanes website. The Lipo battery charger was a good deal for me.
I also bought a 140 CMP yak which is only used for displaying since the wing loading is way too high.
Another 60-size 3D plane, after 3 flights, the elevator came off. After fixing, the nylon cover came off right after I started the engine for another flight. I know that this could be fixed, but is it worth the $40 saving over Aerowork or Greatplanes.
Not until I bought the TOC 50cc Yak and a Greatplanes Extra 300s, looking at the build quality of these planes I feel sorry for the money that I spent for the low quality planes above.
I always believe that "I should get what I pay for", but for some of them, the quality even less than what I should get from what I have paid for.
