So do you all think the TS 52 is too much for this plane? I think the 42 would probably do everything I want but I'd like to be able to take the engine to a slightly larger plane in the future. For that I'd rather have a 50cc than a 40cc.

I think if I can go with the TS 52 I'll probably give it a try. I really had my heart set on a DA but if this engine runs as smooth as everyone says I think that would be better on a the smallish airframe of the 260. I can also move it up to something bigger in the future. I also like the price, $629 will just barely get you the DA engine, you still need the muffler and drill guide, I guess you don't need a guide with the Taurus?

Sorry Steve if I've hijacked your thread... I don't think you've really got your white gas answers...
