The CA 27% runs around 299.99 kit form, can be found cheaper at times...It does not need a DA, 3W, or other high end motor to fly right...Some people think if it can't "accelerate" on the vertical to the moon it is under powered. Mine flies and will climb out of a T.R. on a quadra xl. One of the new EVO 48's or zdz 50's would be fine. You can find many good motors for sale at quite a savings.
The plane does fly good and holds a line very good once it is balanced and trimmed.
