Default 50sx looking for plane

To scolen2......steve
I got the DALOTEL from www.dldesigns.net/
I got the ARF DALOTEL it is a 40 to 60 size plane it has very good hardware and the wood used in the kit is also good ..but thier is lots of places that it is not glued well ....the covering is also very bad... ...it is heat type ..but it takes a very high heat to shrink and is not well matched by monocote or ultracote...the fuseloge is of side stringer design to give it the round look and when heated to get ride of the wrinkles it started to come off ......the seams on the wing also started to come apart not over laped enough.......
IF I wasto order this kit again ( maybe not their is other problems as well ) .....IT would be the ARC or the total KIT version.......... and fix the glueing and cover it yourself......

THE OS 50 SX is a very good motor and is noticeable better than the os 46 FX

BUT I KNOW HAVE A WEBRA 50 GT and it is about 200 to 300 rpm better than the 50 sx on the same props and its not evon broke in yet.........only 4 tanks on the test stand??????????
WEBRA IS A VERY HOT MOTOR .....know if the snow would just melt away so I can get flying again
