Default Solid Flange crankshaft ..Q

Motor is IO-360, 200 hp. aircraft is a Zlin. Plan to use MT prop.

Is there any good reason to keep my crank with the lightning holes..?

Before I spend the money for the solid flange, I want to make sure it is the right thing to do.

I will be doing aerobatics. Not competion, but .........

I expect I know what's coming, so let me have it.. I just didn't want to spend without covering everything. And you RV'ers have the best intel on these things.

Thanks, Kem
