  I acquired a kit and looking for some weight saving tips. I'm trying to see if a DA-50 is a good match for this plane. I've heard both "yes (will have unlimited vertical)" and "no (lead sled about 24 to 26 pounds). I thought I heard this plane was designed for the quadra 35, which I believe was one a of a few gas engines available then.

   

  My 1st reaction to this plane weighing 26lbs was that I couldn't build it that heavy if I tried. Then when I opened the box and saw the steel landing gear weighing in at a pound and the plans have the wing / stabs fiber-glassed and painted, I thought it's could be possible if the quadra 35 was real heavy back then as well.

   

  Don't have the experience to know so I'm hoping someone here has actual experience that may help me get it right the first time.

   

  Any thoughts?

   

  Larry
