Speedy, I would not shy away from the DLE-30. I have one turning a 20X6 at ~8100 and it is getting stronger all the time. I have about 2 gal. thur it and the only idle/deadstick trouble I had was when it was fresh out of the box. Most of what I am reading of the DLE-30 problems are being posted by people who either do not own one or have not flown it yet. Ground running tinkers....

I say:
Set the high
Set the low
Gas it up and go FLY!!

Just my 2 cents.
