Shawn,

You can't go wrong with either DA that's for sure. We run both motors in our Edges with great success. The DA-85 puts out a great deal of power and puts the weight in the 23 to 24 pound range. For an airframe this size and at that weight makes for a absolutely insanely fun plane.

The DA-100 gets the job done and then some. The 100 would be my first choice for IMAC although the DA-85 would work just as well. With both motors setup stock, I feel the 100 pulls better and the extra weight helps the aircraft track a little better on windy days.
