Back after 30,

Thanks for the feedback there. I was wondering about the WH presence compared to the PW or similar.

Smallfly-RCU that is good advice and I wouldn't go wrong. I'll check it out. I like the idea of the WH airplanes, but IMAC is definitely my goal.

Doc_Detroit, A lot of people buy ZDZ-80s and have great luck with them. The overall tone for ZDZ seems pretty positive when I look at all the threads, but the DA comments are almost always positive (except for the expense).

I think both are probably great engines and the ZDZ 80 is here while the DA 75 is not...a good thing for the ZDZ.

For me, what I like about the DA is that I know for sure I won't have any problems with it. I'm competent, but no gearhead and I definitely want to avoid the hassle factor. I'm sure I'd also be happy with a ZDZ though.
