Hey Goekeli - get a heat gun out would ya! Man that is some wrinkled covering!!!!!

Southern Touch - The fuel dot is a DA fuel dot, you can clearly see the scrolly DA logo ... DA dots are the best ones made. The 3W fuel dots totally suck.

I have several DA and 3W engines. They both are excellent and I have had no issues with either.

Most of the 3W stories you hear revolve around the crappy old ignition (which was a total POS and misfires often broke cranks and prop hubs) but the newer engines / ignition are rock solid. My 106QQ has significantly more power, better throttle response and the midrange is the best in the business. I love the DA too though.

A lot of people got burned by 3W, so I don't blame them for jumping on "DA wagon"

I equip a lot of planes, they are both good engines as far as I am concerned.

"DA service" is second to none.
