I would not reccomend it for gas. For about the same price, there are other yaks that will outperform this one. There is more to 3D than pull out, and vertical is an IMAC term. Do some more searching. Check out the dawghouse..

Just my 2 cents- -- This plane would be way over powered and over weight with a dl/da50
an os 1.60 glow or Moki 1.80 is almost over kill.
I have been flying one for over a year and half now with a Moki 1.80 glow motor. the plane is not great for 3D. Wing rock and small Sq inches make the loading pretty high. It will hover and pull out great, but remember most 50cc planes have a 87inch wing this one is only 81inches. It is a great flying plane don't get me wrong its just not made for a 50cc engine.
Again just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the input. It looks like one needs to make the jump to an 87" Yak to really warrant a 50cc. I just don't have a rig big enough to carry a fuselage that is 84" long. So I may just need to go with an Extreme Flight Yak that is smaller and put a 1.60 on it.
