The DA50 is already an overkill, not sure with the 3W 60 how bad would the wing loading will turn out.

Just wanted to bump this thread up and see if anyone is flying this GP 27% Edge anymore....


I recently changed from and RCGF 50cc "b" to an RCGF 62cc "b" on the front of this
plane.... (same mounting pattern on both engines)
wing loading on this is still pretty good feeling... I'm running a 22x10 hawk prop and
the 62cc is about 8.5 oz heavier than the 50cc, nothing really major.... plane comes in
t 15.5 lbs..... The power is amazing... and the flight characteristics are the same with either engine.... ballanced it at 4-5/16" from leading edge.... pullout from hover with the 50cc was good, but with the 62cc it's amazing... lol
