Default DA-50 - Enough power?

I've been looking at the Composite ARF 2.3m Extra and had a look through the recommended engines.
These are the prices I have up to now:
DA-50 £435 (and the mini pipe is about £100)
G-62 £340
G-80 £635

I emailed Glen Fletcher about if the DA-50 would be enough power, and he said that the DA-50 with pipe will give about the same power as the G-62 with the standard pipe, but the G-62 would end up weighing about a pound heavier. He told me that if I could give him an AUW of the Extra minus the motor and prop, he could help me further, so can anybody give me a weight?

Or can anybody tell me if the Extra will have enough power for 3D with the DA-50 + pipe.

Cheers,
Dean
