Well. It is getting close. I will be ready for the engine in my Sukhoi shortly and I havent heard anything on my engine.

Actually with the exception of Kris I don't know if anybody has heard anything?
Are they being shipped? Are there problems?
Kris if you read this how is your engine performing now that it is broken in? Will it still outperform the DA 100?

Thanks.

As of 2 weeks ago, I was number 58 on the list, so I'm getting close now. I can hardly wait, and I'll post what sort of numbers I get with it.

Crash, my Xtreme outperformed the BEST numbers ever posted for a DA100 the first time I flipped the prop. I'm not kidding on this, as it was turning a 28-TWELVE Mejzlik at 6800 rpm, and a DA100 will not turn a 28-TEN mejzlik that fast, even after well broken in. Within 1 hours run time the engine was turning a 28-10 Menz-s in excess of 6250 rpm HOT, and a 27-10 Menz at 6900+, so the engine is at least the equal of the vaunted 3W 106's floating around out there.

I am doing some canister/pipe design trials on the engine at the moment, trying different combinations and playing with it a bit. Space for LONG headers/mufflers was not available in the CA330LX 33% plane, so I pulled the xtreme out of that airframe and put a "106 (102 w/110 jugs) back in the plane. Power numbers for the "hybrid" motor are at least as strong as the best the DA100 has ever had, turning 6500-6600 with a Mejzlik 28-10 with less than one gallon through the new cylinders and pistons.

To say that i am happy with the new engine is at elast an understatement.
