The last weekend I saw a DA50 nicely stuffed into the nose of a Scandalous bipe at CA Mode's boot in the WC site (I would try to post a picture later today when I am home). The plane is supposed to weight about 5.6 kg dry mostly from the reinforcement of the fuselage. It was Marcello´s own electric bipe that got converted to gas. I guess 0.3 kg should be the weight difference between the electric setup (batteries, ESC, prop, etc.) and the gas one, and another 0.3 kg the reinforcement.

I am here contemplating a carbon fiber bath to the nose to my glow Genesis and hard mounting that cheapy chinese 50CCer as my official practice plane. Ready to fly weight should be about 0.4-0.5 kg heavier with the gas (accounting for the increased weight of the engine less the glow mount and smaller fuel tank)

Do you guys think it would be doable? Would the gas engine tear down the plane? Would the Genesis take the extra wing loading?
