Well now I guess that all depends on your intent with the plane. My CapX is suppossed to finish out at no more than 12.5lbs. This thing should hover at just above idle

If your planning on any type of unlimited aerobatics or 3D then your DA50 is actually perfect for that plane. The person that told you that may just fly mild type aerobatics and doesnt yet appreciate the power to weight ratio of 2 to 1 or better
