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'm going to try a DA 85 in it. If that doesn't pull it well enough then I'm going to put a DA 120. That engine doesn't weigh much more then the 85.

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.

9383 but who's counting Angry

To support those high power servos I made some ply ribs.
