Ha! Yeah, lots of good to report... and a few of my own gripes.
(funny that smilie says "livid" but I think it looks like a big toothy grin type thing... that's how I've been using it). <shrug> I think it's a good tailwheel, though. Ground handling is solid, and I'm on a paved runway (anything works on grass). And, it's lighter than a lot of aftermarket versions... and it is holding up well. I tie my planes down by the tailwheel in the back of my pickup and they're blowing around in the open air. I'm really hard on tailwheels, and can't use a bent wire axle style; they bend and break quickly. But, this tailwheel is holding up to it just fine. I've also done a couple of harrier landings and no signs of weakness. Yeah, it was fast and easy to put on, and I'm totally happy with it so far.
I want to get another one of these 122" Extra 330sc's and put a DA-200 on it... what do you think?

Nah, ZDZ 180 on mufflers
. Sounds like it's a 200 killer.

I have talked to a couple people who have tried 4 cylinders and it's not a good combination. Lots of extra weight and the engine box needs to be cut in half. I am about to put a ZDZ 180 on one of mine and after using the ZDZ 180 on my extra 300 I can't wait. Personally I think the ZDZ 180 has more power than the DA 200 and of course it weights less.

Not to start an engine war, and I know it's a china engine, but the DLE222 does better. From reports I'm hearing the 180 kicks 'em both. Just four more months til I get to find out for myself.

Damn I'm hungry
Yes they do. So did this on the dino.......
But a twin sounds awesome too! And when I saw that ZDZ 180 hover a plane at high idle I was hooked. I can only dream because I "have" to be practical.
