I'm glad to here about the DA 50 being about right for weight. I have to pick mine up from the LHS they said it all arived today. I ordered everything through them accept the motor and that was a mistake. I have a smoke pump coming for it and a aerovate 45 cc engine. The engine I ordered through KMP and my service has been poor. Only got part of the engine in the box and KMP say's the rest of the parts need to come from China. I phoned Henry (piston) at aerovate engines and he says he brings all aerovates into the country, but not the one I have of course so he is looking into it. What gas engines do they make in north america? Do they provide good service? Can't wait to get this Steerman in the air, it's a beauty.
