Guys - I have a Lanier Extra 330 with a DA50 that flies OK but really lacks power or "zip". I think the plane would be better with a larger engine. It is my backup IMAC plane for Basic so it does need unlimited vertical. It does OK with the DA50 but I am thinking of swapping out the DA50 for a G62 that I have sitting here looking for a home. The G62 was converted to electronic ignition by Ralph C in Arizona so it is lightened compared with the standard magneto version.

Just wondering if anyone has experience with an electronic ignition G62 in either the Lanier Extra 330 or Edge ? I know that a ZDZ 70 or someting like that would be better / lighter etc, but I have the G62 sitting here looking for a home and I am wondering if it would be as good power wise as the DA50 just for general flying around and general aerobatics ?

Thanks for any feedback

Bill
