An experienced pilot at our field has one of these with a Saito 180 in the nose. He only got a half a dozen or so flights on it before the fall weather started turning for the worst, so he hasn't had time to really stretch the engines legs so to speak. He is impressed with the airplane and how well the Saito does with the Sukhoi. And from what I can see, it's a great combo.

The Saito 180 sound matches the airplane perfectly, and the power is more than enough to haul the Sukhoi around in with ease. I couldn't imagine another engine being better suited for this airplane.
