I think the more powerful engine, still under development, will make a huge difference. The problem really lies in the fact that it is hard to design a small enough airframe around the 95mm fan, with only 2.2 pounds of thrust or so. Nevertheless, have managed to get some very nice performance out of the DJ3 and the A-7, very nice. But more power would be nice!

Consider fixed gear or air retracts for the DJ-3, the stock setup of mechnicals is not very good...
