ORIGINAL: rockitboy

Okydoky you all have me convinced that the DL-50 is a good engine. I will be ordering one for a 27% G.P. Cap 232. It should be in the 13-14 pound range. What Vess prop do you think? I know.. its been asked before but there is 148 pages of info here! Also, has anyone run Avgas in the DL-50? Thanks guys.
You'll need a quality prop ( I use a XOAR ) in the 22/8 range....With.the weight range you stated, your plane will be seriously powered.
Mine is a Pitts Bipe at 15.2#, and it will rip.......
