I am ready to go gas 3D and precision aerobatics. I am leaning toward the H9 Extra 260 27% with DA50, ZDZ, or BME. What is typical value/cost for used package like that? Cost and intervals for engine overhauls or part replacements? I note that gallons through an engine are often referenced.

What else should I consider for plane and engine? What servo, radio, and power components whould YOU suggest for an intermediate glow pilot going to larger gas aerobat?

Though I live in Portland, OR area, I also want great hover and vertical pullout performance in Denver, should I move to high country.

Thanks for your specific input!
