RE: DL-50, XYZ-50HP VS. DA, ZDZ AND 3-W ENGINES
Here is my 2 pennies. Were the rubber meets the road the DL engines is for the person who does not want to spend unnecessary cash. I can very well afford a DA-50R but Why should I when I can get the same performance from a DL-50. If I were flying 100 gallons a year then I must be a comp pilot, and sponsored in some way. in that case I would gladly spend the extra cash for the DA or have on given to me.
Here is the Last penny this on is kind of funny. I never had an engine last me longer than two years due to the fact that these planes crash at some point and time. I feel so much better knowing its a DL$$$ I am pulling out of the dirt VS. a D*****$$$$.
