    well after a successful maiden flight I would like to say that this bird flies beautiful.I was a little nervous as it was my first gasser coming from a funtana 90 and x100 .Hovers were at about 1/3 -1/2 throttle but I'm sure my new da50 will only get stronger.It has some knife edge coupling towards the gear but its no problem ,spins really nice,snaps/tumbles awesome and floats on in what seems like forever with the cg to the back of the range.





    And the all up weight is

    That sounds like you are either guessing or you don't have a digital postal scale

    Status: offline     		I used brand new digital bathroom scale with myself holding the plane and without.I'll take it to work and weigh it on our digital postal scale.Whats a pound +or- ? it Doesn't fly like brick and has unlimited vertical with the da50 so far I'd say it's an awesome plane and I'm sure when some of the other folks fly theirs they'll say the same.

    GOD I HATE MONDAYS

    Status: offline     		a pound or so on this plane is a noticeable bit. I would be thrilled and would retract all my statements if it is actually 14.5 accurate pounds with a DA and stock parts.

    Status: offline     		here you go guys i found this on the H9 website

    "The new Hangar 9 produced 27% Cap is designed as one of the 27% scale aerobatic models which seem to be just about the most desired size models in RC currently. People familiar with these models will identify with the requirement for a 45-50cc size gas powered engine. First production models were powered by the Evolution Gas Power 45GX. In the case of the 27% Cap 232G the wing span is 80” and the weight will come in at 13.5 to 15.5 pounds depending of course on the equipment that is installed by the RC modeler. This size has become popular for a number of reasons. The model can be powered by conventional glow 2 stroke and 4 stroke engines as well, notably the Saito FA-220a."

    Status: offline     		Keep up the great work Flyguy... I bet it is going to fly great!



    Gents... lets keep the thread on track, eh....
    as for weight... it is personal preference... lighter is not always better... depending on how you are flying.... and as there is only one or two of these planes out there so far... lets wait (weight?!) until we get some more flight reports before we bash how much it is or isn't going to weigh and how it is going to fly... can we please?
