Ticketec has tons of experience with it and I think he was the first to install one in this plane.

Thanks Jason. I have the DLE 55RA in a TF Corsair and the plug cap peeks out just. Its a much bigger cowl of course. Its been a great engine so far.

Does anyone have a comparison diameter measurement between the SisT D9 and ESM D9? I have the SisT D9 kit so im checking out engine options used on the ESM version for comparison. Thats why Im looking for the best possible solution thats concealed as much as possible.
