WOOOOOOOOOW :-) What a plane... I just did one short flight and 1min later it started to rain HARD again. But I'm very happy I was able to maiden it.

The power is looking VERY good with the BMB tuned pipes. The plane feels very very light in the air and has super "tracking". I did nothing special only some rolls etc but the engine got only 1liter so I still have to fly calm. I didn't set dual rates or flight modes for this first flight but my throws where pretty good... It only needed much more expo on the elevator, which is very sensitive.

I have a some pictures and a little video of the first flight ... I'll try to post them later this evening.

Didn't know the RPM yet, I'll check next time... But the power is superb! I'll get you some more (and better) videos very soon! The pipes fit but I guess this is the "maximum" size. But we where able to put them in without any mods...
I guess he would do well with a 3W106 to, but the DA runs so smooth.

I can't fly at A34 anymore with the big planes so you'll only see some vids of the smaller planes on A34. This video was taken on the seaside of Belgium on the port of "ZeeBrugge". Because the weather was a little bit better overthere(not for long). Normally I'm going to fly on a new club in a military base very soon.

I hope to bring you some extreme vids soon.

The standoff length for the DA 100 is 1" so 1 1/2" bolts work well.
