120 or 150 for a 40% Cap?

[Bartman]

..unless of course a nice 35% should come along that I might decide to buy instead!



I'd have to guess the 35% would have a better shot of flying well with the 102 in it? it doesn't have to excel at 3D but nice big loops, strong uplines......yes? no?



thanks again!

I am right there with you, but working hard on graduating soon

Plus you can get used DA150's for substantially less than a DA120 all day everyday. And they just always run, 150's are the best motor out there, adn quite a few of them are nearing 170 power if they are broken in right and treated nice.

My Carden Cap was great with a 150, I don't think the 120 would balance in it.

Yeah balance would likely be the real issue

As for power, i honnestly think, while the 150 is going to be more fun, a strong 120 can do it easily up to intermediate. You can always add a good exhaust system if you are looking for more.

that would be more than enough for me. i really like planes that fly like planes, on the wing with some extra power for loops and verticals.



but maybe a 150 would be fun too in its own way. :shaking-hands-smile

OK... When I pickup my Carden cap, you can have my 150, I'll snag a 170 so mine will be way more bad ass. Can you stop your 120- 150 -120 - 150 now?!??!
