RE: DLE 35 RA
yeah i understand your point.
i fly imac now with a 40% carden and a da170 and my new plane is a carden 300 pro with a da200.
i haven't read all through this thread and others, but thought the dle35ra would be a good choice due to the rear exhaust port making a pipe easier to install.
i have a 50cc EF extra now that i could use for sportsman, but if i'm gonna fly pattern, i think i would rather use a pattern plane. so for now, i would like to get an arf or used plane and a gas engine and see where it goes.
