Help choosing next 50cc airframe

Firefly

30cc
Hi Joe,
I am looking ahead for my next airframe, I currently have an OMP 50cc Mean Green Extra 300, with a DA-50, its AUW is 16.5 lbs. (88", 1460 sq in wing area, with smartfly, LiFe, Futaba S9156s) OMP redesigned this plane for the DA-60 making it heavier and also it is impossible to get parts for it.
I am looking something as light enough for DA50 to yank around and also get parts for it.

I would like to know how much your 87" Extra SHP weighed and what you had in it.

another possibly is a DLE-55, how much the 89" AJ Slick setup/weighed?

A DA 50 would handle the 87 okay. DLE 55 would be a bit better.
The 89 is not happy with a DA50 on it unless its piped well.

Been running DA60's in the 87
