Just flew mine on an evo150, power was awesome and the plane was increrdible stable. This was my first 150 and it has to be the best flying plane I've ever had.

Take care,
JP

I am thinking with a bit of a weight loss program, and the NEW DA120... this plane might just be the Schizzy for the Tweeners!!!

I might be getting one of these and I will have to install cans. Is this possible ?
DA-150 on canisters.

I would interested in how to do the can install as well. Standard mufflers will limit my availability of flying sites.

Has anyone installed cans?

I have just finished my Extra recently. After a weight loss program the plane weights 34 lbs 12 oz dry !!! I'm very happy with the result.

I bet if I had an ARC of this plane.. I could whittle it down to 30 pounds with a DA120!!

THAT would be the Schizzy!!

I just picked one up from my lhs for 600, new in the box. Next week we are going to start to strip it down to do a custom scheme and see if we can lighten it alittle. It's a snowy winter here so no flying til march. So plenty of time to tinker
