"Detroit is a waste land " , Vertical G. I take offense to that !
Have you ever been to metro Detroit ? Should Colorado be judged by what we see on the news ?
I make lug nuts in a union shop in metro Detroit , we ship to China , Korea , Vietnam , Africa , pretty much every where a car is made in the world . That does say something that they choose to buy from America !
Normally i respect what you say ( whether i agree or not ) but not with your statement about Detroit .
China is catching up on metallurgy every day , but labor cost are also catching up . The chase for cheap labor will abandon them and move on to the next country . My money is on Africa as that's where the electrical supplies are going .

A simple look at the economic facts, figures, and trends regarding the city is enough to convince even the most ardent skeptics that there will never be a recovery. It's a s*** creek that started in the late 60s, has never been abated, and has now turned into a torrential flooding river of corruption and crime. It will never change because the population continues to elect people who are nothing less than criminals in fancy suits. Detroit deserves the miserable existence that it has. I hate that my tax dollars continue to prop up this cesspool.

Ray,
In response to the guy who told me that the spark plug helicoil kit is $90 (it's not even worth going back through the posts to find out who), I just want to point out that anyone can go to Northern Tool and buy a helicoil kit for your spark plug for $9.95 - I knew I'd seen them, so I went and checked it out with my own eyes. They have them right there, hanging on the rack. You can also mail order it from Northern Tool if your town doesn't have a store. Sure, the helicoil kit is Chinese-made. Using a Chinese helicoil for a Chinese head. I'd say that should work out fine.

You can get a Permacoil kit off of Amazon or Ebay for $30-$40, but the quality isn't nearly as good as the Helicoil products. I gave an honest assessment of cost with an offer to help.

If you want DLE parts, try www.valleyviewrc.com, They typically have them in stock.
I searched all over for a new head for one of my crashed DLE111s. ValleyviewRC was the only one that had one. Hobbico had them listed as on backorder. VallyView even has some used parts cause they repair the engines too. They also have the gaskets. Heck, they even sent me a used carb cover plate (versus buying a whole new Carb).
Nope, ... I don't work for them. They just went out of their way to help me. BTW- I love the DLE111s. Any problems I ever had with them were "self-imposed." And, ... they run like a top!
