I've seen the ARF version fly ok with DA 50.
I had mine with DA 85, which required quite a bit of cowl hacking to fit. Flew great with good power, but not overwhelming because it has a bulky fuselage with lots of drag. Mine probably hit 95-100mph coming out of a dive. Not clean lines like a mustang to fly that fast. Make sure you use good old Hitec 645 on the tail feathers. I used 90-100 oz servos on elevators that bailed out after a few flights. But I fly my warbirds hard coming out of full speed dives.
