My uncle has the Eagle and the red Pitts running on Fuji 50's and they fly really scale. DA 50 would be sweet though.

Fuji 50 before. If I had it to do again it would be a DA/DL/3W 50-85 cc w/ingnition.

I would go with the lightest of the 2, which is the DA50. I have the same plane with a fuji 50 and it is heavy.

Go with 2 servos in the bottom wing and try to keep it light. If its light and with A light
glow motor it would fly great. Keep use posted on your Moki set up.

I had this plane a couple of years ago with a Brison 3.2 in it and it had tons of power. However if I were going to do it again I would go with the DA-50 in it with a 22x8 or 23x8 and I think it would fly great!

I have a DA50 on a 27% extra 260 and love it ... I vote DA 50.. I would also mount it inverted with a wrap around muffler like a slimline pitts type. It will make your plane balance better...Good luck...

Re: Christen Eagle II GP and wich engine ? DA50 or 3W55i ?
Mati1979; I have two Eagles. One with a Fuji 50ei.,and the other with a DA50 with a pitts wrap around muffler. The DA is the way to go. Great service and tech support. If you use the DA50, you will need to get 2 3/4" standoffs for the proper distance from the spinner backplate to the cowl. Run a 22x8 Menz prop and you will have a great flying machine with all the power you need. Hope this helps. Good luck. Mike
