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 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.

Hi Tom,
In regards to the Evo 58, what type of muffler do these engines come with or are there aftermarket ones for them (Pitts style)? Thanks!

RE: Composite Sukhoi
BTW I sell the Evo 58s.
For a muffler Bisson is making a good one, but I'm not sure if it will all fit in the cowl because of the squarish nature of the can and the round cowl.
A side mount seems to be the easiest to use, Ithink Bisson makes one of these too. I used a side mount bisson with my G62 and it worked well.

RE: Composite Sukhoi
Looks like no room for a canister in this setup.
Landing gear mount, down low, blocking the normal path.
Moving up you'll be into the Wing tube, and fuel tank mount.
Maybe a short can, like the ones Chip sells, could be made to work.
Interesting custom header!

RE: Composite Sukhoi
Haven't gotten the plane yet Tom.
Should get it 9/31/05.
Ordered a MVVS 58 from David to go into this plane.
Any plans to get a custom muffler made to fit?

RE: Composite Sukhoi
Actually yes. I spoke with Lance at Bisson today about making a side mounted can for teh 58 that would fit nicely into the Sukhoi. He said he would do it, but I suggest you call him and tell him you want one too.
Maybe that will give him extra incentive.

RE: Composite Sukhoi
Tom,
I thought I should let you know ... BME had already shipped the Challenger ... so I am going to have to wait a bit on the Sukhoi. But after seeing you and David fly the Sukhoi with the da50, I am going to be forced to add a monoplane to my hanger.
Folks, this is one clean looking and flying plane ... and you should have seen the smile on David's face after landing
I am anxious to hear the Sukhoi w/ Evo 58 flight reports.
Thanks again Tom,
