I just bought an 85 and I hope it is a great motor. Its going on one of those 33% Lanier EDGE540's. The plane was $350.00. Can't beat that. From what I've been reading the 85 doesn't shake that bad. I hope its ok?

I have the exact setup ( Lanier edge 33% and new DA85)and fired it up today and the 85 is a shaker, I used my prop 26x10 off a DA100 that is smooth as silk. The prop is balanced fine.
BEEF UP THE FIREWALL!!!! throttle servo back at wing tube, shakes like a rattle at the front.
Power house no doubt!
I will fly when I get the servo back some.
