I am using the DX-18 the best part that BVM does is give templates to set up throws. They are spot on perfect. Dustin help a lot on that. It doesn't need or like a lot of flap. You will be surprised how little is used. It lands really nice and stable. 52lbs will push it around very good. I keep mine very light. No smoke used yet. 46lbs balanced weight. Mine is about .5lb nose heavy and it flies great.
One tip is to make sure the nose strut stay fully extended with full take off fuel. It will get off the ground a lot easier. I used a small piece of Tygon inside the strut to shim the factory spring. The later models may have a different spring.
You will love it. Keeps up on your progress. What scheme did you go with?
