Great choice!!
I had a DA50 in mine and it did a great job. Wish I could have afforded to keep mine as a back-up and still get my 40%. Very sweet plane to fly.

I have very few pics of mine, but i do have many gallons on it and in my experience, its one of the best 50cc arfs out there. Build it lite and sub 16# is totally doable. Total 3d dream plus i have been flying it in the low classes at IMAC contests and it is a very capable precision tool.

If your looking for an affordable motor with some power the TOC 53 that Tom sells in my opinion would be a good choice.

The vess prop im using is the 23a and it has really good performance. The spool up speed isnt blazing fast but the thrust responce speed ( puch out) is good the down line breaking is were this prop is at its best. I can 3d and freestyle all day plus this prop allows me the ability to make an entire imac flight constant speed. I also have some speed at full power 96 mph . So far with all the props i have tried i would recommend this prop for a 14-17# da50 powered plane.

The new Extra from WH is a SUPER bird, really enjoy mine! She came in at 1 1/4lbs with a MVVS 45, single 4 cell Li-ion pack, and single Smart-Fly reg.
I also am flying one of the TOC 3mm 53cc engines Tom is importing and it is a good choice as well, especially with the $430 total price tag including muffler.
