Just an FYI--He also rebuilds a lot of engines for one of the US distributors of 3W, and will also work on any engine that was and is being made for, or used in our hobby.

DA engines WILL go fast...Dave Johnson started out racing a 3W 120 with tuned pipes at Madera BEFORE he dropped 3w and started DA...Still has the plane...
Here's a close copy of Peter Goldsmith's Miss Ashley..DA 150, no tuned pipes, 200+ mph..He's putting a 170 twin on his latest...This one is Kenny Mac's plane, it had a 289 Herbrandson in it....The DA 85 should be good for at least 175 in a light plane with a tuned pipe...

I kinda like the way you said that,"dropped 3W ". Gives me a warm fuzzy.

Hi

I have got a question.. Where can I buy the DA85 in America? Because here in Germany no dealer has a DA85
(Sorry for my bad English)
