No video as of lately. Been the only one at the field. Kind of hard to film and fly at the same time. I'll break it out this weekend and get my freestyle on video if the weather holds. Looks like Florida rain for the rest of the week

Hey Parker I got an RE2 on my DA-50 w a 23B Vess. Used to have a KS1060. Still wanna race? LoL.

Curious, I just bought a DA85 for my Giant scale Corsair project. I need to break my DA85 in. This would give me 2 years in my Extreme Flight Yak before I would have to install it in my Corsair hmmmmmm. It's been awhile now for you, how's everything going, airframe doing well?

The 88 was designed around a 60cc so ive never agreed with installing a 50 what ever the sale gurus say about a DA setup. Im sure both my mvvs58 powered 88 n Thomas davids 58 powered extra would wup yer butt in a moon race. As for beating a 85cc with a humble fiddy on yer bird- Ya Dreaming dude

I'm with you on that!

I just like teasing Parker.

LOL That's always fun. Haha

I do have to say that if I was getting an 88" Yak, I'd go with the DA-50 and RE-2.

The DA 50 is plenty of power on the 88. Does anything you want and still very light.

Everything-Mmnn. Not sure bout that,
Im a one trick pony whos digs the hover end of

If i did the sustained hanging with a da like i do with the mvvs58cc it would show how marginal the power to weight really is. The Da50 overheats with a 24" after no time. The 58 will swing a 24" allday long with no struggle atall. Sure i could of used a 23" on the da but i never liked the feel of it on the 88.

I FLY THE DA50 WITH A 23A VESS IT WORKS REALLY WELL AND WILL HANG ALL DAY. IT LOCKS IN TO TORQUE ROLL VERY NICE WITH THIS COMBO

I've seen it both ways. Kirbdog is right about finding the right prop for your style.

Hey Parker,
No different here in GA. Been raining alot here too....

CCDave · 11-10-2009, 10:06 AM

I might have missed it, but What is the final weight?

wc524 · 11-10-2009, 11:20 AM

Plane weighs in at 20.25lbs. That's with two receiver batteries and a 20oz fuel tank (enough for two 4 minute freestyle routines with plenty left over)

I won the moon race, Parker and I lined up in a hover and the 110 Yak out pulled the 88 with the 85, yes I do have tuned pipes on the DA-100L. Sorry I had to bust your bubble Parker, and I actually own the 88" because the race was for pink slips, but he won't give it to me.

Not too bad for an 88 inch aerobat!

My EF Yak with a DA50 and a MTW can comes in at 17.90 pounds.

I do believe this plane is too heavy for a DA50... It flys okay, but doesn't have the vertical that I think it should. I would love to strap a DA85 on it!!!
