Tom and Silversurfer,
After flying this plane, how well would you say a DA-50 setup will do?
I hear Silversurfer saying go the lighter route and just wondering.
Tom I hear your thought also Evo 58, the engine I was thinking for this plane.
The ZDZ-80 would be wild also though....
Need more input . . . .
The DA-50 has roughly the same power as a G62 with 1.5lbs less weight. The G62 flew it well at about 17.5 lbs., so My estimate is that teh DA-50 will be excellent, except...
The DA-50 being so light may be a problem balancing. I'm putting one together right now so we will see soon.
But my ideal setup is the Evo 58. The Sukhoi with this engine will be about 17lbs. +/- 1/2 lb. This will be a spectacular setup.
ZDZ-80 would be more power than I would enjoy I think.
