I JUST BOUGHT A 28% KRILL KATANA AND I NEED SOME INPUT ON WHAT ENGINE I SHOULD PUT IN IT, I KNOW EVERYONE IS USING THE DA 50,IT SHOULD COME IN AROUND 19 LB ACCORIDING TO KRILL, THIS SEEMS A LITTLE HEAVY FOR A 50 CC PLANE, THE WING AREA IS 1813 SQ IN. I PLAN ON HOVERING THIS THING ALOT SO I WOULD LIKE SOME KILLER POWER , THE DA 50 WILL FLY IT WELL BUT I THINK I NEED A LITTLE MORE POWER, THE DA 85 SEEMS LIKE WAY OVER KILL. I WOULD LIKE TO STAY UNDER 4.5 LB ON THE ENGINE. THE EVO 58 LOOKS GOOD BUT IVE BEEN HEARING BAD THINGS ABOUT THAT MOTOR, PRETTY MUCH DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT THE DA 85 WOULD BE TOO MUCH ? THE WEIGHT IS NOT WHAT CONCERNS ME ITS HOW THE PLANE WOULD REACT WHEN YOU DO UP LINES @ FULL THROTTEL OR WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE IT FULL THROTTEL FROM A HARRIER ECT. ANY INPUT FROM EXPERENCED PILOTS WOULD BE GREAT.
