Default DLE 55 Engine

Anyone has a DLE 55 Engine on the Giant Big Stik? If so how does it handles. I purchase the DLE 30 but thinking about changing it to the DLE 55. Is it a good or bad decision?

How much does it weigh? The 55 hauls around my 89" Sbach like its an over powered foamie

I think the DLE-30 will be more than enough for that particular airplane.

I just didn't want to put the DLE 30 then later wish that I had put the DLE 55. That why I posted to see what you seasonal guys thought about the ideal. So I am going to stick with the DLE 30 engine.

for a giant big stick a 30 is more than enough.....i would only put a 55 if i wanted it to be ballistic or if it was modified to do 3d(larger control surfaces), which a stock stick isnt good at anyhow
