Default RE: Other DA engine?

The DA200 can't swing large props. Frazier Briggs practices at my field (The Moon) every year before the Shootout and this year I just watched to pick up any pointers I could. Anyway, he runs a Mejzlik 32x10 on it with plain mufflers (4 of them to be exact). A 3W157 on 1090's will perform every bit as well as the DA200 and at less weight and have GREAT midrange. Of course you would probably want to run a larger prop than a 32x10.

Chips DA200 ran a Menz 30x12 at the 2002 TOC so you can see the DA200 can't be loaded hard or else 'BANG'.
