Status: offline 		Looking for opinions for a motor for a new Carden 35% Edge. Either DA 100 or 3W QS 106. I have ruled out my BME 110 due to the fact that the Cardens tend to come out tail heavy with even a DA or 3W, so going DA or 3W. I would like to hear everyones opinion based on performance of the motor, and not customer service. (I mention CS because I have had great luck from both DA and 3W in this department)

Status: offline 		I would agree both are great engines but the QS definitely has more power it turns a 2" bigger prop same RPMs or slightly more.The non QS seems to be about the same as the DA. Mark

Status: offline 		I have a 35% carden edge with a DA 100. If you want to see a short video of it. Check out our clubs web page. Westendwings.com
look under club videos. I think it's the second video down.It's a short video but it will give you an idea of the power to weight ratio pulling out of a hover. I got johnson mufflers and a 28x10 mejzlik turning at 6600.

Status: offline 		First of all the airplane was designed around a DA. If you look at the front of the DA the right jug is forward. It is just the opposite on the 3W, this might be a consideration when mounting the cowl. Carden dosen't say to use duck work if using the DA. I would however ducked the 3W. I love the DA. And have one in my 35% Carden Edge. I also would recommend a prince Prop 27/10. We will soon be testing a 26/11 Prince.
