RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
guess I should have gotten it from 'kiwi'bob but missed your place of residence altogether.
Didn't realize it gets so warm down there in January, but 40 degrees C is pretty common where I live this time of year. Down here in southeast TexasUSA we are now working on 45 days or so where the high temps haven't been below that - and also no rain. Hasn't been terribly windy but sure keeps me from flying anything past 10AM or so

As for the handle, yep, I am indeed a "kiwi" from way down in good old New Zealand, and 'bob' is just a nickname I had picked up once upon a time .... though before you ask, I'm NOT 72 ok!! (lol)

yeah Dallas generally hotter than Houston, but I'll trade you my constant 90% humidity for your drier heat. I fly in the early morning hours, temps generally about 80, but it'll get almost unbearable by 10 - by then I've soaked thru three shirts.[&o]

Least it's a stunning spring day out, and if I can get home in time from work, I might take the 50 sized nitro heli that I have out if the wind stays off, as I can fly that at my 'secret' field that I have 3 min from home (too small for planes).

I'll be installing the DLE20 into a Pulse XT 125. I'll be sure to update with more details as I work through it.

"Kiwibob" I have the plane but I am out of town till the 12th so I can not do anything with it until then. I ordered a new cowl for it so I can fit it properly. The one was cut all up for the Saito 100 so I wanted to replace it. I can't get one for my other H9 Mustang since they don't make it anymore.

I've seen your posts in the Pulse 125 thread so I do know... I can't wait.

I have the 60.5 inch but just ordered a Syssa 30cc 180hp for it.
This DLE 20 with all the rave reviews I think will finally release me from the stanglehold of glow. I will be selling several of my glow engines to replace them with DLE 20's I think. So, in the interest of this thread I plan on installing DLE 20's in the following airframes.
H9 Funtana X100 - currently powered by OS 1.20 two stroke
Sig P-51B - new in box ARF but was planning a Saito 1.25 install
and I'm sure there will be more

I talked with TX Air today about the photos and the loss of the airplane as a result. He agreed that it looks like a MFG failure and has sent the photos to the MFG to see what they say. We decided to hold off on any actions until we hear what the Mfg says. He had never seen this type failure before he stated and sounded as though he thought they should replace the plane. Will keep you informed as things come along.

I too have a Texas RC Planes Drastik . I thought it would be a good replacement for the Hangar 9 Ultra Stick that I cannot
purchase any more . I also have a DLE 20 ready to install . Please keep us informed about how Texas RC Planes resolves
this problem . Sorry for your loss zoaartcc . It sure looks like a manufacturing defect .

Thanks for the update Dan .
Are you going to reinforce the tail end of your new plane ? Makes me a little worried about my build .
I think I will take off the covering and check the glue joints back there .
