RE: best first time plane for 50cc?
First let me say that I fly a wildhare extra special with a DA-50 on it and love the way it flies. There are a couple of other guys at my field that also fly wildhare planes and love them also. For every wildhare at my field there are three GP patties and everyone that has them loves them also. One of my flying buddies has one with a DA-50 on it and he has flown my plane too. He say's that they fly very similar to each other. One of my other flying buddies has both the wildhare and GP patty and likes both of them but flies the patty more. So I guess what I am trying to say is get what you want and go have fun with it.
