I hope this is the right sub, I'm interested in opinions about using a 912 in place of an A-65 in a DA-5 build. It would be a little lighter, though not enough to be a balance issue. The 912 makes a little more power, which could be directed to climb rate rather than cruise speed. Any big reason not to go this way?
