Personally, I'd be running that old Enya - - with half-again the amount of castor in the fuel (which is NOT going to help keep her bright and shiny) AT LEAST once, and probably until the engine dies. Enya's are strong, reliable, just plain fun and I don't think (with a decent 're-break-in") it'll give you any issues at all.
And, even if she did eventually fail in the air, everything I've ever heard about the Zlin says it's a pretty good dead-stick glider. You're not going to lose it.

Dave,
I love ya like a brother, but I'm not dead sticking this plane, sorry, not taking the chance.
I may reinstall the Enya later, but power gets you out of trouble and I'm going to stay out of trouble while flying this plane.
I thought long and hard on it............the Super Tigre is the safest option I have.
