Thanks for your help, i think i might flag the DLE55 and look for something smaller, i just dont want to be underpowered..
I havnt yet picked my plane up ( will get it this week) and wasnt sure if there was an allowance for exhaust cannisters? That will be the next headache, my local club is having problems with noise, so i have to get it below 96 db.
Do you normally seal along hinges to prevent flutter? I have heard a couple of horror stories recently and wondered if this was necessary on this plane.

Todd.
