This was about a year ago, but Chip Hyde said that the 200 had a slight problem and it needed to be addressed before going to production. Besides they are never going to sell half as many 200's as they will 150's and on down. They will sell 20 75cc engiens for ever 200 they sell. Simply not enough guys out there who can afford one and are willing to drop that kind of cash on a model engine and plane. However there are a TON who will a 75cc engine. I being one of them. I imagine after the 75 is selling good the 200 might me gone back and looked at. There just simply isn't that many 50% planes flying in comparison to smaller ones. I wish DA would make a light weight 25-30cc as it would be perfect for my 1/4 scale stuff like my Katana. If they could they could sell them by the truckload. I sure like my DA 50. A 25-30cc lighweight, powerful, reliable gasser would blow a hole in the market. I just wish they would look in that direction as everything they have done has been a success. It would get tons of people into gas who never consider the bigger engines due to intimidation, cost and expense of the aircraft.
