Default RE: DL Versus DA

If I had only gotten into this hobby about 6 months later I would have 2 DL's instead of 2 DA's. I bought a DA 50 a few months before the DL 50 was available. It seems to run fine sometimes, then cuts off at the most inopportune times. I have crashed two 50cc planes because of this thing and recently ripped the landing gear off another. It was recently back to DA to repair leaking carb block issues. Unexpectedly they also replaced the piston and top end bearing. Even though it was under warranty they wanted to charge me for the piston and bearing. After the repair is when it shut off agian in flight. I was too far out, causing me to land in the cotton field and rip out the landing gear. I will give it one more shot and try a carb rebuild kit. If this doesn't work then it is going in the recycle bin. At least it will be put to good use as a beer can or something.

On the other hand I have a DA 100 that runs great. I have not had any issues with it. Just my luck shortly after I bought it the DL 100 was announced[>:].
