Guys:

You have me a little spooked about the 3W engines. Will be buying a 50-75 in the next month or so for 3-d. Looking at 3W 75 hard as they offer a number of engines from 50 to 100 and I am prone to go with good old German quality. There is not much weight difference brom the 50 to the 75. Lately, I have to add lead to the nose of the latest generation of birds to get proper CG, so whats the big deal of a DA-BME-3W weight issue ? I am looking for the best reliable quality in a engine so you don't have to send the thing back. My ZDZ 40 has been running for 3 years without a burp. Almost cry when I see a great bird die from a burp close to the ground. Is this a Ford-Chevy thing, or is there a clear winner out there?
