 |  Re: Which Engine
This is a NO WIN POST. So let me end it here. 3W - Powerful engines, respected manufacturer. DA - Powerful engines, respected manufacturer. The DL-50 and the 3MM 50 are new comers and are proving to be solid motors as well. PLEASE do not do the usual Ford/Chevy thing guys.

| Re: Which Engine
IMO this is one of the situations that lighter prevails over heavier and more power (possibly). The airplane in question is a small 50cc airplane, and the 3w is a good amount more heavy than the DA or DL 50s, so I would go that route. I do not have brand loyalties, I pick the best one for my application. Now, he also states that $$ is a concern, so in this case the DL 50 is the no brainer choice, and DL USA has very good service too!

| Re: Which Engine
if the plane really does com out at 14 pounds it wont matter what engine you get as long as it runs. Although I vote DA 50 for the lighter reliable motor. |
