My friend is getting a H9 Sukhoi and he is looking for a engine to go on it.

Does anybody have any suggestions?

BTW he knows about DL and DA......

Thanks,

Guy at our club has the first run of that plane with a DA-100 and it is a great combo. ANother guy has same plane with GT-80 and it will do mild aerobatics and just sport type flying. No 3d. Another fellow just bought the new one and is sticking a DA-85 in it. I suspect the 85 will perform about the same as the 100 plane. Not sure yet. I wanted that airframe when I bought my Edge H9. It was not available then and was reintroduced a few months later.

Wait, are we talking about the older yellow Sukhoi, or the newer smaller lighter blue one?

The new Sukhoi SU-26MM, any 100cc is likely too big for it and hard to balance. Just stick with any ~80 - 85cc engine you like and it will fly great.

Even the older yellow one is ballistic with a ZDZ 80.

I would say ZDZ 80 or DA 85.

May I suggest the new TMM-106? It is much lighter than the DA/DL, much smoother also. Easy mounting, easy starting, reliable, and inexpensive.

And did i say smooth? Extremely smooth. It's an excellent engine at $699. Weight is 4 lbs. 15 oz. bare, 5 lb. 15 oz. with mufflers, ignition and prop washer.
