GP Ultimate 160
I have been through the post on this and would like a little more info from those of you have set this up. I am planning on using a DA 50 and would like pictures and extra tips I should know before starting the project. Things like battery type, servo and servo placement for balancing. Any info you could give would be great. Thanks.

RE: GP Ultimate 160
There really is not much to worry about on this plane. The only major thing and it was only 2 planes so far was bad landing gear. TNT has replacements for sale but it isn't cheap
Most everyone is using metal gear servos at 100 ounces of torque or more for the ailerons and elevators and 150 ounce for the rudder. I used 5645's for the ailerons and 5945's for the elevators and rudder
I used the Brison 3.2 and it's just a tad heavier than the Da50 so you'll need to put the rudder servo in the tail. My ignition bat is up next to the engine on the side of the engine box and I am using dual li-IONs for the receiver in the stock location as well as the receiver being in the stock location
So my total setup is this
Brison 3.2
Bison wrap around smoke muffler
5645's on the ailerons
5945's on everything else in the tail
1400Mah for the ignition
2 li-ION at 2400maH regulated to 6 volts
Total AUW is 16lbs 3 ounces
Balanced right on the recommended mark with no added weight
You are gonna love it with the DA50. This plane just loves a 50CC engine. I started with the Fuji 43 and it was alright but since I moved to the 50CC it's a ton better. The thing needed no trim at all and slows to a crawl for landing. Takeoff is at half throttle (I use a throttle curve). Vertical can best be described as close to orbital. I just keeps climmbing andd gaining speed. Vertical snaps do not even slow it down it just flies right through them.
If you look at the measurements this thing is actually very close to a 30% plane.
If you did throught the other thread someone did do a DA50 on it and absolutely loved it
