I have an old 25% Genesis Cap 232 that used to fly like bananas with a Saito 182 twin. It needs some repairs to the area that the landing gear mounts on to, as I always lost a cylinder in flight with that motor. It is a cool airframe from Canada that went out of production after 1999. Composite fuse with foam core wings, and tail feathers. 74" wingspan, 976 Sq. inches of wing area (24 ounces per square foot), ranged between 9.75 to 10.3 lbs, and called for a 1.20 to a 1.80 fourstroke. I figure a good time to try out a DL product? Been holding out for DA to come out with a 25 to 30cc motor this whole time. I have not been following this thread as I usually claim JUNK when it comes to DL's. So what do you guys think? Do I go against what I've been claiming, and give up waiting for DA? I sure would like to see that old plane fly again. I guess I'll go back and read this thread, and see who's had good and bad luck with this motor.
