A DA-50R pulls my 85in Aeroworks Extra 260 around just fine with good virtical. It was built before the new DA-60 came out or DLE-55's for that matter. Having to do it over again with my new 50cc AeroWorks Ultimate Bipe I will opt for the new DA-60.

How do you intend to fly it?

3D? Then 55-60cc

IMAC? Then 50-55cc

sport? Then 40 to 50cc
