Default RE: DA50 or G62

Db,
you asked me what the reduced weight if E ignition would yeild. Sorry it took awhile to get back. While the 28% Extra cleanly pulls out of hover, the transition into harrier can at times be a bit critical. Also, when pulling into a hover, unless you go for a full blown wall or a gentle 1/4 loop, it sometimes drops a wing as if its about to snap. Even though I've harriered entire tank fulls with this plane and the stock G62, I feel a lighter wing loading would just make it respond more favorably when pushing past the stall into high alpha flight. Also, it would take less work to get the CG where I like it.
