Video of my CA 2.3 with DA50
Hey Guys,
Here's a video of my CA 2.3 with DA50. It was a windy day and plane would just blow away with wind and wouldn't stay stable. Especially second part of the video. Anyway I have been doing 3D since last Aug of 05 and been practicing Hovering/Rolling Harrier/4 point roles and... I think I have improved a lot but still no where close to most of you out there. Let me know what you think. By the way, I don't have a video of this but 2 weeks ago weather was calm and I touched the rudder in a very stable hover for the first time, was awesome feeling. By the way, here's a video of my Yak www.gholamipour.com/videos/planes/Yak_Low.wmv |

Re: Video of my CA 2.3 with DA50
Real nice video Reza, The plane looked real good with the scheme you have on it. And with a DA 50 on a pipe it looked like it had plenty of power for hovering ,and in the wind. Nice flying Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed it!

Hi There,
I would have to measure again but if I remember correctly 11 1/2-12". If you want I can go and take the plane down and measure. Let me know how accurate you want the measurement. Hope this helps, Reza Quote:

Re: Video of my CA 2.3 with DA50
Looks the goods How is the pull out from the hover? You didn't seem to have any pullouts in the vid. Also sounds like you are using about half or more throttle to hover it. Is that about right or am I way off??

Re: Video of my CA 2.3 with DA50
You are right on the money. It's about half to hover and pull outs are slow. See between half and full throttle there is not much of change in the vertical pull outs. This plane will be an awesome plane for a 75cc. If I don't sell it until DA75 comes out, I will put a DA75 on it. Currently, I'm enjoying my Yak It's a great flying plane but need more power to make it more fun)

Yeah I think the 50 is border line in the 2.3m. From what I have seen it is alot happier with a 70-80cc up front.

Re: Video of my CA 2.3 with DA50
Rusty my original JR scheme 2.3 had a 50 on a tuned pipe, it was a good combo, not the best combo but good non the less. If you are after balistic pull out of a hover then the 50 is not the go but the do pull out of a hover fine. they just take a little longer to wind up.more like the pull out of a 3m with a 150. Its a good light weight set up. The My other one has a ZDZ 80 in it which gives it ballistic power. The 50 is certainly not borderline just different. Ive also flown them with a 50 on standard pitts muffler which was still ok.

Did you have to modify the motor dome for the 50? I remember you saying you had to cut it when you installed the 80cc.

Re: Video of my CA 2.3 with DA50
if you really want ballistic just do what I did to my 2.3, put the BME 95 twin on it. my plane has unbelieveable power and is still getting broken in. I was going to install the BME 110 as the plugs on it are behind the cylinders not on top like the 95, which would mean that there would be no holes to cut in the cowl, but I didnt think that i would be able to swing a 27x10 and larger prop on the 2.3

Re: Video of my CA 2.3 with DA50
You dont need to modify the dome for the 50 Rusty or the 80. With the 80 you need to cut a hole in the dome for the carby which puts the carby inside the fuse. My last one which was at Bendigo is set up that way with no probs. On Dads we cut the motor dome down by nearly half then reglassed in a new firewall. then mounted the ZDZ80 on standard DA50 standoffs which got the carby out of the fuse works realy good.
