| Building Impressions: |
*This is definitely an "older" ARF. Construction is fine, but a bit heavy, and it doesn't show the fit and finish of the Hangar 9 33Cap, Great Planes Christen Eagle, or Wild Hare products. |

| Flying Impressions: |
*The maiden on the cap did not go well. It seems these planes have a downthrust issue, if what we experienced and what RC Universe buzz says is true. We got the DA50 fired right up, (it ran great), did a range check, and taxied a bit before Brian went for it. The controls were a bit sensitive, but after a couple clicks of Up and one of Aileron, the plane seemed to fly pretty well. The trouble started when Brian set up for landing. Power off resulted in a terrible tendency to balloon and stall. Looked like a downthrust issue. Brian made a couple of practice approaches, and was setting up for final when things got ugly. A crosswind, another balloon, a stall, and the plane went in short of the runway. No obvious damage to the engine or electronics, but the plane was lost. |
