I've seen the 28% Krill Katana fly with a DA50 and I've also taken a look under the hood. I don't think a DA85 would fit without having to butcher the cowl and redo the egnine mounting box. I'd also question whether the engine mounting system would support the vibration of a larger engine. Personally, I think you'd be nuts to put a DA85 in that airframe. It's a smallish airframe compared to something like the EF 50cc Yak. Just my opinion. Steve
