Don't believe everything you hear. I've seen first hand the impeccable dependability and absolutely top shelf performance of the DLE 222. Only reason I bought the 3dub 212 for the Yak, was because I wanted mostly to compare it to my sons 222. In all things being equal, the 212 should spank his 222 100 ways of Sunday. But it's going to be a tough battle to win. His 222 runs just that good. Right now after about 10 gallons, it seems to be really coming into its own very nicely. Ripping the snot outta the Biela 32x10.I've always preached lighter and stronger, too. So what you're saying makes total sense. I did think that the unbuilt motorbox of the Pilot planes would make bolting on a 200 just as easy as bolting on a 170. I almost bought the DLE 222 a couple of months ago but heard they aren't as reliable as the DA.
You know... ... you live pretty close... ... you could invite me to visit and fly one of them there 180s.
