uhm, can we have more info? Is price any object? What airframe is it going in? How do you plan to fly it, 3D, IMAC, Sport Flying? There are other good options out there as well, if you have reason for narrowing it down to these three...speak up, we're curious!

I think the 3W 55 is a good choice.. not that DA isnt... thinking the 3w might have a bit more power.

The 58 has too many problems according to all the threads on it as of late.

Mostly for Sport flying and 3-D. I may consider one of the smaller composite ARF models in the future. $$ is not an issue, but I do want to get the most bank for the buck.

Thanks,

John

Don't know about the others, but I have a ZDZ 50NG and it is one powerful engine and very user friendly.
One of my flying pals has a DA 50 and it is also a good motor, so if you want my vote on the motors you listed it would be the DA, but my choice of any would be the ZDZ.

Sorry to confuse the issue
