Don't have experience wih the FPE but have the ZDZ 80 on mine and wouldn't put anything else on it. Power to spare. the reason I went witht he ZDZ was that I saw a guy at our field with the H-9 Cap with the 80 3 feet off the deck hovering and torque rolling and pulling out with no problems. The Cap is the same size of the Suk. The ZDZ is light so balance will take a little doing but the engine is good.

No Question, spend a little extra money on the ZDZ, the weight savings alone are worth it, not to mention the superior power and and transition from idle, they are great engines, you won't be sorry.

Actually the FPE is 50.00 dollars more than the ZDZ. But your right about the weight, I think a ZDZ is in the future.

thanks for the replys
