Looks good. Can't wait to see some video of that thing flyingopcorn:
I am really looking forward to getting this one in the air. What an amazing airplane it is.

I'm making a go with this plane with a dle 55. Got one used and wasn't really planning on this plane but I think I'm gonna go with a Pitts muffler to keep my weight down and see if my 55 will pull it. Has anybody tried a 55 on this machine?

We asked lots of questions about the 55 and heard subpar results.. I know diggity wanted to try the 55 but was convinced not to. It will fly, likely well, but will fall far short of what this plane is capable of..

How would a EME 60 do on this airframe? Does it compete with the da 60?

The specs I've seen are that the DA is at least 5% more powerful, and they've had their 60cc a while, so they have a mature design with all the kinks worked out... But you pay a little more for that.
I have the EME60 in my 89 Slick and it's a good motor... But next time I'm saving up for the DA.

So your eme 60 isnt quite the smooth running machine as the DA?

That's what I've heard. Had a couple small issues with the eme, but its running well now. Not a bad engine, but I'm ready for a DA next.
If you read on the other forum on the EME thread you will see people who have compared the 2 engines and the DA is hitting about 300 more rpm. But you will also see post that the EME is smoother.
I don't have a DA60 but I am very pleased with the EME.
