That's NOT RCU, but the host server for badbradgraphics that gives you that error.
He didn't link it correctly.

Quick question.
When I run the engine wot with the recommended cm6 plug it sounds like that the ignition misfire every once in a while and not a steady engine sound.
Any idea why?

Thanks for the help.

Have you checked the engine timing?

Ihave just recently bought a dle 20 and noticed the same thing as you are saying. I was running a 6v ignition pack, i switched it out with a 4.8v pack and problem solved! Runs great now!

I am running also a 4.8 volt pack.
How do you check your timing?

Thanks

There is soooooooooooooooooooooo much to learn on my intro to gas. I need to calm myself about one problem I have seen in several threads. I just bought two DLE20 engines and was very excited about it but after reading about a advance curve/idle problem with RCEXL ignition ver#4, I'm beginning to wonder what to do. I have talked to Tom at Valley View RC about other subjects that I had read about and he put me at ease but I haven't talked to him about this idle curve problem. Am I going to have problems with this ignition. I have read that you should buy the ignition for the DLE30 or 55 but that gets expensive so is that really necessary. If this subject has been beat to death then forgive me but my eyes are bloody from reading and I would just like some direct answers from the experienced guys in this bunch.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

The problem with the ignition curve does not bother most people. It just depends on how you tune it, what prop you are running, and what plane you have.

It is entirely possible that you could have used your engines for years and never have been aware of any problem?

If you are going to get another ignition, get the standard RCEXL for a CM-6 spark plug.

oldtyme-
Really, suggest dealing with this "problem" when you encounter it. It's discussed at length here so you recognize what it's doing when it happens, understand why it's happening, which should allow you to react accurately with a little less trouble figuring out what's going on?

Get your engine running and start flying it. If you run into trouble, holler. Don't spend money replacing this ign. because of what you read here just cuz....

Well, finally got around to the first run up of my DLE20 and let me tell you, I was getting P1$$3d off with it. Dang thing would not draw any fuel. I finally pulled the plug, squirted some fuel into the cylinder and just started flipping the prop back and forth. After about 20 minutes of doing that it finally drew fuel.  I put the plug back in, then tried flip starting it, no go. Hit it with the starter again and it finally popped off. Once it started running it ran good. Needs adjusting for sure, top speed at WOT was only about 7600 RPM with a 16x8 XOAR.  Mid range around 5600-6500 it burbles a bit, but idles down nicely, only a slight bit of high rpms before settling down. Quick responses on the throttle and it moves up and down smoothly, let it idle for more than 5 seconds and there is a delay before it revs back up.

If this was your first time running it, its best to use a starter. I dont own one personally, so I used a friends. The time I had to prime the carb after I took everything apart after a crash, it did take a while to get fuel to the carb. I just vigorously flipped the prop with the choke on and it finally got there. My tank was pretty low too since I was doing an "experimental" location for it.....

It starts first flip...

Just to give you some notice in sound. I purchased from Valleyview RC, a noise suppressor for DLE 20, I believe it works well for my Cessna 182. I didn't want it to sound like a warbird. Price is $20.

does it change the tone of the engine or does it work like the one that is made by Troy Built Models? www.troybuiltmodels.com/items/TBMDLE20SILENCER.html

I wouldnt say the DLE20 has a warbird sound. More like a aggressive little hotrod.

The DLE55 slingin' a big prop sounds like a real sport plane. If someone saw a plane flying around like that from a distance, they would have a hard time figuring out if its a real airplane or RC.

A club member had a brand new Sukhoi with the 55. Its impressive to see and hear a large RC plane like that in the air...

This is my buddy's raven with the DLE55. His pitts muffler has a bit of a metallic tinny sound. But I LOVE the sound of big gassers

I just looked, it shows a picture of one piece, the DLE20 muffler has 2 ports, so does the kit come with a piece for each port?

Although that does give me an idea. I have acess to aluminum and a mill, I could probably make something that would work.

On eyear on and the 2nd gallon finished. My 20 is starting to feel like its broken in.
Good compression and starting is not too hard after the first start. I've advanced the timing and it will sometimes run backwards and not want to throttle up. Flip it faster and it fires up and runs in the right direction.
I've also started leaning the engine outto get rid of the misfire. Oooodles of power. Pulls the H9 Showtime 90 vertical forever. thats a 4.2Kg bird without fuel. the 12oz tanks is good for probably 20-25min flying time.

Running a single ZIppy Flightmax 2500mAhr battery. Switch to Ylead.

One end to Rx
other end to igntion via a Diode and Rcexl Opto kill switch. No regulator

are you talking about the "stinger" pipe where the exhuast gasses actually exit the muffler? The stock muffler has only one pipe on it....www.dle-engines.com/dleg0020.html

WTH was I thinking? I had to go look up pictures of my plane to check, for some odd reason I was thinking it had 2 outlets on it.
