| Hi Guys,
I'm looking into the Dietrich Extra 260 and I'm debating what engine would be best for it. Since it is a little larger I don't know about the DA 50 and 10 hoarses sounds better with the ZDZ 60, but it is a pound heavier.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sean | |

Sean, I recently put a ZDZ 60 in an SD models Yak 54, around 18.5 pounds. Performance has been terrific during the breakin period (22X10 prop), tomorrow I will fly it for the first time with a 24X10 and expect it to be phenomenal. I thought about the ZDZ 80, but am very pleased with my decision.
The engine was difficult to start the first time, but it is getting pretty straightforward now. Once wet, follow the 5-5-1 sequence and she's running. Very pleased with her.
