I have both powerplants. Weight favors the Syssa by a couple ozs. Power is probably a wash. I will tell you that the Syssa, brand new, turns a 17x12 at 8200 on pipe. After break in it will run a couple hundred more. My 160 on pipe didn't run those numbers on the ground but flew the plane well enough. <br>
<br>
This will be an intersting experiment since the plane is the same one I used with the 160. Ed Alt is compiling data for a future KFactor article<br>
<br>
The ZDZ40 is still in the works for me. Mine will make weight but I agree, the engine system is heavier than it should be<br>

Matt's not the only one working on a gas pattern plane. I've been working on <br>
one for a year now. OS160 converted to gas with a ProSpark ignition. I just <br>
about have the kinks worked out of the system. The Syssa looks pretty heavy to <br>
me, that's why I abandoned trying the ZDZ40 and went with the OS160. <br>

That's one of the nice things about living in New Jersey: you don't have to go <br>
far to fly with Pattern Legends! Living in Connecticut is another story. I don't <br>
want to tell you what happened at my field this weekend... LOL<br>
<br>
Jeez Matt, you gave away your secret weapon plans. Now everyone will be building <br>
a gas Pattern plane for next season! VBG<br>

Getting my Enigma original design outfitted with the new Syssa 180 gasoline <br>
engine. The soft mount build has just been completed and retrofitting on the <br>
firewall just done. It just needs servos and it will fly next weekend weather <br>
permitting<br>
<br>
On Ed Alt's suggestion, we went to fly with legendary pattern competitor, Jim <br>
Martin. I first saw him fly 40 years ago, flying his Banshee design in a manner <br>
I had never seen before. Extremely fast, right on the deck, with extreme <br>
precision. He was twice my age back then and being a rank beginner and shy, it <br>
never occured to me to approach him just to talk. Well, 40 years later, I got <br>
the chance. What a nice man... one very interesting thing to me being of <br>
Armenian decent, he told me that he also is of Armenian decent. That's pretty <br>
cool to me<br>
<br>
He explained that he has a new version of his famed Banshee in a more current, <br>
much better done fiberglass/foam configuration that he intends to electrify. <br>
That should be cool.<br>
