If you want to see my 30% PAU Edge you can look at it in my Photo album.I recovered it in the Castrol Aviator scheme.I first flew it with a Fox 3.2 and thats where the crashes came from.The motor quit on me while hovering and then quit a couple other times.I then bought a DL 50 and let me tell you this motor for the price was a perfect match for this plane and it would have saved me a bunch of repairs if I just bought it from the begining insted of playing around with the old Fox I had trying to save a buck.
I'm looking to get $300.00 for my DL 50.The engine has approx.6 gallons through it and runs great.
If your interested let me know.

Dl 50 all the way. From what ive seen its just as reliable as a da if not more, has more power and the best part is you can buy two dl's for one da

Yeah from what im seeing and hearing also i cant go wrong with either engine, when it comes time to purchase it will all depend on the funds that are available.

Im going to tell you that you cant go wrong with VVRC. Tom is one of the best people in the world to do business with and Jody is great with the engine support.

Man that had to hurt and bring a tear to your eye, it did mine. I can say that in my flying experience that all my crashes always ended on my last flight. Never ever would it happen on my first flight. Good luck with your new plane, looks like a sweet fly.

Chris
