Default What size Gas engine?

For a Midwest Extra 300S at 16 lbs, 80" ws. Am looking at both the DLE 30 and 35. Not looking to hover, just general sport flying. Would they be big enough or do I need something bigger?

Thanks

I should add that in the manual, the kit calls for a Moki 1.80 glow engine.

Mine is the older version with the flat stab. I want to make sure that a 30 or 35 will work before I spend the money..

I had one of those with a ZDZ 40 and power was just about right.

I'm not familiar with the ZDZ 40, How does it compare to the DLE 30 and 35?
