You are quite right and I expect that the difference will be marginal. As I just mentioned to Ralph, if I make the switch it will be to liberate the DA50 for a smaller lighter plane ie I have a DA50 in an AW Extra 260 which is slightly smaller than the Lanier 87 inch Extra. In the 50 cc AW Extra the DA50 flies it very well, whereas it is marginal in the Lanier. You are right that the Zenoahs are not necessarily powerhouses, but a Ralph converted G62 might be a stump puller if it was propped right.
