True 50cc plane. Need some help please.

[Snoopy1]

Have a good DA50 on the work bench. Would like to buy a new AEROBATIC ARF plane. Please note looked around but all the so called 50cc ARF,s are 60cc size plane at 88 inch wingspan that is not meant to be flown with a 50cc it can but not great. Thanks for your help.

PAU Sukhoi SU-26m.
88" wingspan but everything I have heard is it was originally designed around the DA50 and the manual for the Sukhoi has the mounting template for the DA50 in it.

Pilot Edge would be great with a DA 50, they come in around 16lbs, I have an extra that weighs 19lbs with fuel and it flys well on a DLE 55, V1 slicks that come in around 17-17.5 lbs will fly very well on a 50. There are many choices Id stay away from 90+ or build weights over 17-18 lbs.

Exactly what you are looking for maybe?

Also the redwingrc 50cc slick would be a nice choice. They fly well, and also come in light, around the 16lb mark I think.

I have to agree with this. Both my son and I have one each of the Pilot 87" 30% Edge 540. Both of ours come in around 16 pounds with a DLE 55 and canisters. Freaking wild and insane planes. Just can't be beat. A DA 50 really is not going to be that far off the DLE 55.

I put a DA50R in my RedwingRC YAK and that is a great combination. I generally fly a Vess 23B prop and the motor and plane seem to like that just fine.

I have had an Aeroworks Yak 54 an Aeroworks Extra 300 and a Pilot Edge all with DA50's the Pilot Edge was the lightest and flies pretty well on the 50. It's not a powerhouse, but it does everything it needs to do.
