725r Ryobi needs a home-Which plane?
Looking for something to put a 31cc 725r Ryobi conversion in. Extra, Cap, something fun to fly. Even a big stick of some sort maybe?
Ideas? Please?!

That DPS is the bomb! I am thinking about a corocub like this one..
Or the ultra Spadstick..
Think it will work for the weight to have plenty of power?

I'm thinking of blowing it up 150% from the plans. With a clipped wing it comes in at like 90 span and around 12 lbs.
What you guys think?

A 80'' wingspan SPAD DPS works great.

Need more pics! Plans to scale it to? Did you just scale up the regular DasPlastic?

Yes. it's a big DPS.
80" wing
24" horizontal
12" tall rudder
48" 4x4 PVC fence post fuselage, heavy even with the holes.
18x10 prop works best. I tried smaller props, got more RPM's but didn't pull near as hard.
It's big and heavy, flys slow, lands slower.
I have added a smoke system that is not in the pictures.
Windshield washer pump with a servo operated micro switch and a 2 cell lipo for power.
The smoke oil tank hangs below the fuel tank, outside of the fuselage, looks weird, works great.
It makes great smoke, put it on a switch and mixed to the throttle stick.
Smokes only at full throttle.
