I have the 27% Extra 260 with a DA 50 on the nose, and it does NOT suffer from high wing loading. It actually has very docile low speed handling, and lands very nice. Most of these ''rumors'' of poor performance on this airframe with a 50cc engine are coming from people who dont have a clue, because they've never flown it.

This plane will not "float" like "real" 50cc sized offerings. Have you ever flown an Extreme Flight 50cc plane? Now, that is light wing loading!!!!!!! There IS a [b]HUGE[/b] difference. If I were you, I would be looking for a true 50cc sized bird to spend my money on....do it up right the first time!
