My current DA-100 easily has 100+ gallons through it and still runs and pulls great.

No, I don't own a DA-100.

Check out www.AircraftInternational.com they got the 3W 106 on sale at $1,025

C140 Brothers · 07-18-2006, 05:07 PM

Do you own a 3w then?

spatown · 07-18-2006, 06:46 PM

DA engine! The best with the best customer service!

Bunky F. Knuckle · 07-18-2006, 09:00 PM

Nope. Never owned a DA. Always 3W for me!!!! I have a 100 and a 106. Both are powerhouses!!!

Tailchaser · 07-18-2006, 10:26 PM

I owned a DA 100, really liked it, but then a friend brought the same plane I had only with a 3W 106, I couldn't believe the difference in power, don't get me wrong the DA ran without a flaw, except for the power difference, it was like night and day.

So I purchased a 3W 106 and it is awesome, dependable and straight line speed to burn. I did some looking into them both and 3W has 2 piston rings while DA only has 1. now I'm no genius but I do know power and how to run an engine, having raced cars all my life.
Nothing wrong with DA but 3W for me now.

The 106 is a definite monster, very impressive motor.

iflyimac · 07-19-2006, 02:27 PM

I have a 3W 106! Best power, and transition in its class. I have not had a problem that was not caused by myself (did you know that flying w/o a backplate causes the prop to flex and blow off?!

)! If you haven't already bought the DA 50, get yourself a comparable engine from 3W. Take your pick, they have a few in that range.

C140 Brothers · 07-21-2006, 03:27 PM

3w forever!

3D-Seth · 07-21-2006, 06:15 PM

I had a DA 100 and had some issues with it hitting and missing ( but that was without a cowl). Now that it is on a 34% Columbo Anderson Extra with a cowl I dont have any problems with it. Choke it once,flip till she fires (usually second flip) take choke off flip around 2-4 times and she fires right up. I am going to try a 3W 106 for my Carden - I like Chris's 106 better than my DA . . .
By the way - my Columbo Anderson weighs around 26-27 lbs. dry and the DA pulls it well
