Buy once and buy well could not be more true. I learned that the hard way a long time ago.
Actually, Mr. Hostetler recommended the DA50, simply stating that one should exercise extreme throttle control. Of course I paraphrased what he said, but that's the meaning he was trying to get across I am sure!
I have not seen much about the Taurus, though the ZDZ40RE F3A was something I was looking into the other day, but of course, there is no available information yet. What is the difference between the different ZDZ40s?
A friend recommended a GT26 and while I think that would fly it, I don't believe I would do much more than fly laps with it. I at least want to hover dammit! [sm=shades_smile.gif]
You guys would not happen to have access to the AUW of the ZDZ40 and Taurus 2.4 would you?
Thanks!

ZDZ40, Taurus 2.4. For reliability, longevity, and the best quality look to the Taurus. I agree with Mr. Hostetler regarding the DA 50 being too much in both weight and power. Bear in mind that the "budget" engines usually bring along a little "baggage" when it comes to ignitions and reliability. Personal opinion is to buy once, buy well, and enjoy for decades.
