DA 50 in a WM Extra 300s
I would like to buy a World Models Extra 300s. I have an OS 1.6 but after reading the post hear at RCUniverse im thinking gas.
I'm thinking Desert Aircraft 50. What do you think.
Thanks for your thoughts.

I've flown one with a ZDZ 50 and it was an awesome combo. The DA 50 should work great on this plane. Any good 50cc engine makes a plane of this size really perform.

Flyfalcons, I think your right... It probably will make an awesome combo I hope. My real concern is can the airframe handle the power?

It seems very well-built. I know they don't advertise it as a good plane for a gas engine but it is built as well or better than the GP Extra. My buddy took off with the ailerons reversed and went in at about a 20 degree angle, inverted. The wing tube broke and the forward part of the fuselage had some damage, but the plane was repaired and in the air a short time later. The cowl and spinner were broken in the crash, but the airframe itself handled it just fine. If I were to choose between the GP and WM Extras, I'd go with the WM. Just remember to be responsible with throttle management and the plane will fly great.
