You win the star for the day! Others will catch on soon and while I usually respect BAX's posts on the forums, when it comes to engine timing I pretty much think he is clueless. Seems they will never back off from those ridiculous 40+ degree settings. I doubt they actually electrically time the engines and probably just adjust the sensors by mechanical position.
There went my chances of ever having Hobby Services do warranty work on any of my DLE engines .... oh well.
There are many posts on the various forums how our ignitions work and written by industry leaders such as Bill Carpenter (CH), Adrian (New CH), Ralph Cunningham (RC Ignitions) and Milton at RC Extreme power just to mention a few. These people know their stuff and I trust them.
