Spridal,

Your question above I don't understand how is it holding up with a DLE 55. It should really be turned around, how does it hold up with the Evo 40, which is heavier. The DLE 55 is hanging less weight on front, so it should hold up better as long as you use throttle management, maybe that is what you were referring to.

I have a choice to make. I have a NIB OS 55 like Nick did its heavier than the DLE . Or, I can go with a DLE 55 and add a pound of weight +/-. Or, what I am really thinking is how about using the new DLE 60 twin, which weighs a pound more than the DLE 55...so should not have to add weight and I will get a potentially much smoother running engine due to a twin and should balance very close since I am using the retract tailwheel....

How do you guys like this idea. Haven't dont measurements to see if it will fit in the cowl, that may be the issue.
