Hi Guys, This plane is awesome, mine came in at 19lbs., balanced it a bit nose heavy, The DA 50 started with no problems, and after a few minutes of run time, took the plane for a few runs on the runway!, on the last run, I took it up for a five minute flight, a few clicks down and one click right aileron, and this plane was trimmed, One mishap!!, when we were checking the radio program on the ground, I accidentaly hit the reverse switch for the landing gear servo, flipped it back the right way, and did not tested the sequence on the ground. I'm flying , gear rotates up ok, now is time to land, no gear action, not ok!!! set the plane for approach, flaps down , kill the motor, and the plane slowed down , floated for about twenty feet, and hit the grass, , no damage to the scoop!!! or the rest of the plane!! wow, for sure I thought the scoop was gone. when the reverse switch was activated , the servo pushed the valve mounting braket and broke it!, problem solved, and ready to fly again
