Ok, thanks. And what about customer service...is there a limit on that. Can we call your company about questions, etc., and I guess I've had a boat load...sorry.

Most of the time we support ourshelves as users by comparing what others have done in forums like these...but in the odd case, we get a technical issue that we believe we need to defer to the designers to is what I'm referring to.



I think if you do a search on Brillelli you will find the answer to your question is quite obvious I dont think a negative post exists

Status: online 		I wasn't going to post on this thread about Scott's service, as it is pretty off topic.... but, since I have TWO 60's, maybe it's close enough to count.
I first emailed Scott over a year ago, seeking a carb rebuild kit. I think it was a $4 purchase on RCU. Took a couple of emails to sort out my dummy questions, but he answered THEN as if I were buying a motor.
Later, came my almost-incessant questions about the 26GT, as I was "experimenting".... through that ordeal of MY making, Scott provided multiple details, many emails to answer questions that LOTS of folks would just blow off.... HE did *NOT*.
After that purchase came my first 40, then 60, then 46 then.....

There have been some troubles along the way - but except ONE - all of MY doing. Me being "anal" about some minor thing or another, and Scott is there. Phone, email, nearly always the same patient, and thoroughly-service-oriented guy.

I've warned him..... if he keeps up the quality of work, the value of price and performance, and his "personal touch", he will VERY soon have to go full time, and the big dogs will have to be looking for him.... to CATCH UP !!!!

BTW - he provides absolute HONESTY and complete transparency in his communications. If he tells you A = B-C, that is an absolute, and he will back up his comments. NEVER has changed his story from one thing to another, depending on situation. He is NOT one of those that practices 'situational ethics', like so many.

Status: offline 		Bob, do you have that engine mounted yet? I can't wait to see some pics of it with the muffler. I saw it cyl side up on a test stand. I want to see it in a plane like that. I also can't wait to hear how it flies. We are in the market for a new plane for the 60 That may be what we go with. Patty flew so well. A little bigger plane could only be better.

Status: online 		This weekend, for sure.... and yes, it will look TERRIFIC. Spacing, firewall distance, etc. just perfect, too! Looks like it will be almost completely in the cowl, except for plug angle/opening, and front of head. Should be easy to direct airflow for cooling; way better than the Yak, anyway.

Seriously,,, I'll share something with you all that have not dealt with Scott. Before your engine even gets broke-in you'll think of him more as a friend than a business dealing.

Can't wait till the twin 60's make their debut.

Status: online 		Carb is a Walbro HDA-48D, same as on the Zenoah G62. Mine don't come with Velocity stacks as I ask Scott not to include them. They are, however, "stock" and come with the motor, if wanted.

I am an anti-velocity stack bigot.

(My bad on original Walbro number - I just LOOKED at the carb, and it really IS an HDA-38D.... thanks, RCIGN, for catching my blunder)

Status: online 		I would like to see a close up pic of how the throttle linkage is done on the carb. Overall, the engine looks pretty good actually, but I need to see more field reports

Status: offline 		Well, not exactly G62s have used Walbro HDA48 series for at least 19 years...The HDA 48 had a transition problem that was fixed by changing the brass high speed nozzle to part number 86-550 for the A version..Never saw a B version, most were HDA 48C until they changed the length of the steel piece on the end of the throttle shaft...New carbs are HDA 48D, other wise identical to the original HDA 48...If you have a G62 with something else on it, someone changed carbs...
FWIW, maybe if DA would send a 50 to Walbro they could get a carb that worked as well on their engine as the HDA 48D works on the G62
One way to do carb linkage, you can copy it if you want, it works very well

Status: offline 		I placed my order today...so as soon as I'm up and running, I'll post a field report.

I really don't see how you can go wrong though with an extra 10cc's & a mere 2 extra ounces of weight over the RTF weight of a DA50 for $100 less. The only way it could be better is if it were an extra 10cc's & a mere 1 extra ounce of weight over the RTF weight of a DA50 for $100 less.

I can't wait to try it out.
