Status: offline 		Well you're not getting many replies yet on this one! Take a good look at the gas engine forum, expecially the stuff on the 20cc DLE, like what plane are you putting your 20cc on. Another guy has a complete build thread on the Aeroworks ProX 260 with DlE 20cc. Not exactly what you asked for but many, many ideas there about the related hardware. Keep us posted and good luck!

Status: offline 		The most successfull areas of use for the Saito FG series engines has been in sport and scale planes.

They have not worked out well for 3D in the long run.

The problems encountered are the extra dead weight of the ignitions system and the extra battery.

Throttle response/tuning issues

Overall power.

Status: offline 		Well, finished the install a few weeks ago and it flys great!!!! Almost thru the 1st gallon and the only problem I'm having is it will die after an abrupt move... If I fly with no loops, rolls etc it will fly all day. Not out of fuel tho... great balance so dead sticks have been great. The fuel line is still full of fuel.. Not sure why it is dying.. checke all electrical conection, clunk, fuel etc. Guess I'll have to change things around and keep flying untill I find out why... Any ideas...

Status: offline 		I supose I could only fly upright and around in circles, it does that great... I'm only concerned about the dying... And why... You cna'y tell me the going straight up and then flatten out is a move that would kill na engine..

Keep us posted,
