I just got my issue of Fly r/c .. and being an ultimate fan was interested in this plane... wonder if a DA 50 would bring the wing loading up too much to 3D it?

SPECS: Wingspan: 65" (1650mm)
Wing Area: 1446sq in (93 sq dm)
Weight: 12.5lb (5670g)
Wing Loading: 20 oz/sq ft (61 g/sq dm)
Length: 72" (1830mm)
REQUIRES: Engine: 1.60 cu in (26cc) 2-stroke glow
OR up to 3.1 cu in (50cc) gasoline

This is a list of mods and tips from a1pcfixer that apply to this plane.
