I agree with the DA 85. The DL-100 would yank the snot out of it, but like mentioned before, will increase wing load and make it a pain to balance. You'll just end up with a plane that has crazy vertical and rips the piss out of props. I'd rather have the 85 so it balances easy, is lighter, and feels more locked in when post stall with the weight savings. Now if you plan to go up to a 35% in the next year, get the 100 and don't expect the 33% to be a 3D monster with the added weight. Remember, it's going to take a bit of ballast weight to offset the motor weight and performance will suffer.
