First giant advice needed
Hi All,
I am an experienced pilot but lately have just been messing with profiles. I want to get into the 50cc size aircraft and was hoping some of you could recommend a good airplane/engine combination. I like to hover, torque roll. I prefer the plane to be an arf.
Any advice much appreciated.
Mike

RE: First giant advice needed
Well there are several great options out there...
WH Extra 84"
WH Edge 84" V2 - Not available for another 2 months but greatplane
Extreme Flight 88" Yak - Awesome plane some available next month
Extreme Flight 88.5" Extra - Should be an awesome plane and available next month or so.
Aeroworks Extra 260 85" ? - Great plane a lot of work is done for you in advance
That's what jumps to mind when it comes to planes - Personally I am waiting for the EF Extra if all goes well
Engines..
Tons of great options..
Brillelli 366GT 60cc - Personal Choice and awesome engine with more power than a DA 50 for almost the same weight and less money
DA 50
3w-55
Anyone of of the above combinations would be great.

This is next on my list:
http://www.goldeneagleaircraft.com/talon.htm
G-62 on C&H ignition for power. [8D]
IF you decide to build one, you might want to take a look at this:
http://www.fiber-lite.com/RC_main.htm
Thats on my list too.
Fox 3.2 for power.
And this ARF Pitts from RC Guys. I think any 50--60cc engine would do quite nicely in this plane:
http://www.rcguys.com/S1Pitts.htm
And this one too. I know--I want too many. I have a Poulan 36cc engine for this one. Probably not going to be happy with that kind of power, but I'll try it for a couple gallons. If I know me--and I do--I'll end up with a 45--60cc on this one. [sm=lol.gif]

I have this one NIB still. It's the original version from back a couple years ago. Before they had the VII or VIII. I sold it last year and bought it back from the guy 6 months later. Still NIB after all this time. I stripped the goofy purple and teal colors off the wings and fuse. It's still striped on the bottom with black and white. I plan to either do a custom color scheme or have someone airbrush it.

I'm working on this one right now. It has a 75cc Husky conversion on the firewall.
