I heard they have a bet with DA whether their 55 will come out before the DA75 or not. If I were you guys I'd buy an air frame for either size and then wait until one of the engines becomes available. Who cares if you miss this flying season, it'll be worth the wait.

Now that's the old BasinBum humor I have been waiting for I think the 55 might be in the lead at this time, but don't hold your breath. The last time I e-mailed Keith he was not really happy with the delay in parts from the supplier.

Hey BasinBum,
Shouldn't you be off to some platform miles and miles away from the main land?

BB,
What are you replying to? I don't even see my post, what happened to it?
What do you mean you don't know what I'm talking about? Isn't that how you make your money, oil rigs, welding, offshore etc.?

Some welding yes, but on movie sets not oil rigs. I have worked on movies that took place on the ocean.

I have $ burning a hole in my pocket for this engine! I wish Kieth would chime in here and let us all know what's going on> I want to call him but don't want to bother him.

Have you had a chance to run it yet? What plane is it in? How do you like it?

Come fly with us in Tyler some time.

No, I haven’t run my Kroma yet. I am having difficulties balancing my Great Planes Yak 54. With Kroma engine weighing 1575g (3.47 lbs) and on ¾” stand offs, I still can not balance it without adding some ridiculous (1 lbs) amount of weight in the front. I am in process of trying to figure out how to get hold of Great Planes to get some advice.

Torquemeister,
Thanks you for invitation. Eventually when I finish my Yak 54 and log some flying time on it I might visit your and few other airfields in East Texas.

Regards,

Hajduk,

Would it be possible for you to post a few pictures of your plane and installation? Perhaps we could offer some thoughts on component placement that might help. Anyplace that something has been affixed, along with a couple of over all views would be helpful.

Also, what is the suggested c/g location and to what was it referenced to? Meaning such and such distance from such and such at the whatever part of the wing. G/P has traditionally been ultra conservative with their C/G locations, so it may be too far forward no matter what you do with their reference.

Tomorrow I will be going out of town for business so I will not work on my Yak for a while. However, when I return, I sure will put some pictures here.

Thank you for offering assistance.
