I've got a brison 3.2 powered, NX 22x8 propped, extra special with smoke that weighs in at 17 lbs. Fromeco batteries 2200 on ignition 4400 on reciever. Carbon fiber wing tube and tail wheel, kaven tires. It has 2, 20 oz. tanks. B&B smoke system. From what I understand the DA is lighter. As far as power I don't own a DA, YET! I do know that with both tanks full the Brison does have power to pull out of a hover. Its no ballistic missile by any means, but it does do it. You can definitely tell when you are flying with a tank full of smoke oil. The plane is a little more mushy feeling. I have tried to lateral balance it to get rid of the wing rock but mine still rocks a little. It is better that what it was. 17 lbs. is attainable, even with a smoke system. Going to a carbon wing tube saves you a bunch of oz. Best of luck!
