Silversurfer I agree. I had the special and with it I had unlimited vertical with my DA50. It came out at 18.7lbs. Yea, she was a little chubby.
But I was real excited to hear this one was coming out lighter then the special. I was concerned that by making it lighter it would compromise the integrity of the structure. But I'm really impressed with the way they took out the excess weight and still maintained the strength. If it flys anything likt my special and is a pound lighter,I will be a happy camper.
I got the motor mounted on mine last night but it looks like I'll need to get a larger spinner.
There is also red and yellow scheme.
Shaun,
Looking Good! Make sure you open the cowel enough to allow your spark plug wire back in without rubbing. Fiberglass cuts sparkplug wires like a knife. I have some screen spline(line the cowel opening) and automotive vacuume tube(protect the plug wire) you can borrow. In order to use the screen spline you will have to get rid of the corners in your opening. Here is a pic of my 260 cowell.
