looking very good Al, although I likely would have used Hysol instead of Lysol to glue the cabane in...... but then, I'm not much of a builder.  Wink

Hi Al:

This will make a nice big plane, will be nice to see it in the air.
Someone could use what is left over to build another one.

Hi Al,

One more question...sry

What engine are you planning on putting in this?

I'm trying to find out the difference in quality/ reliability of a DLA vs DLE vs DM vs DA

obviously the DA 's are the best, but how do the others rate?

Thanks,

Brian

I am gearing up a 89" Extra 300 but it will be electric.  I should have it at Margaree.

This topic has been beat to death on every discussion forum known to man for a total of 9382 times.  I have seen many DA's die, DLE's die, 3W's die and so on.  With either one you roll the dice and hope it works.  DA seems to have the edge on customer service.

Depends on your definition of "best".  You could ask 20 people the same question and get 20 different answers.  If I were foolish enough to be looking for a 50cc airframe shaker, I would probably end up with a DA60.

Thanks Mark,

That's kind of my impression from reading forums...

You should start a thread for your extra!  Love to see the fit out.

I will probably post a few pics of the power system as it comes together. Everything else is the typical cookie cutter setup.  Now lets keep this thread about Al's Yultimate.
