RE: which is best 26-35cc engine?
I have purchased 2 planes from texas rc. giant drastick and the kantana profile. both of them came in quite a bit heavier than specs stated. I would go with atleast a 30cc. I have a dle 30 on 2 planes and love em. I have a dle 20 on a mayhem and don't think it will be enough for your plane. as for quality I had a hobby shop owner tell me that even Desert Aircraft has their parts made in China. He stated they only assemble them in Arizona. I have a da 50 as well and cant tell that it is that much better than dle. good luck
