I'm thinking the best engine is the DA50R or maybe a Taurus 52. The DA is the same price as the EVO. I wouldn't by the EVO again, at least not for the same price. If it was $100 cheaper, I'd buy it and fly it in the lighter planes. But, for the same money, I'm gonna buy the DA. Then you don't limit your options.

Yes, it is a magnesium case. It's a beautiful engine and it runs good. Just not as good as the DA.

Thanks
