I've got a video for you guys if the upload would ever get done. From tonight. Flying at the private field I go to with some friends. The dl ran perfect eccept when I hit the kill switch when I was going for the dule rates. But I got it back on befor the prop stopped spinning. You gotta listen real close for me to say I hit the switch but its in there.

Thanks lou, And to all of you guys for the help. This motor is unreal. On my video you can hear my blip the throttle a whole bunch trying to get it to bog or die. It won't die or bog and the throttle response is unbelievable. On my 16.5 pound yak, thats full of fuel, Its unstoppable. It hovers at about 1/4 throttle. WOW, I love it!

Ya, i can't wait. It should be awesome.

I ordered a slimline fuel pump yesterday as i found that the one i was using for glow was not going to work. I am wondering how i should go about filtering my fuel. With my glow planes i filter before it gets into the tank. But i saw (after a search) alot of people using these cluncks that you can get at a motorcycle shop that help with foaming and filter your fuel.

The other thing i am wondering about is the prop. I really don't have the money to buy 3-4 different props. So i really wan't to know the best wood prop under 30 bucks are going to be. I have herd nothing but BAD things from zinger but positive reviews from xoar, vess, and jxf. I was looking at the JXF props that valleyviewrc sells. I can get a 22-8 JXF wood prop predrilled for the DL and shipped for $27. Anythaughts on that.

Thanks
Cameron

People like the Vess 23A on the DA50, also Mezjlik 22x10 or 23x8. Good props.

I know the Mezjlik is pricey...but NICE. The Xoar props aren't too bad, behind the Vess in my opinion, but inexpensive, and perform alright.

Try the 22b for break in... about $28. Then go to the 23a...$32

I run the vess 23a and i get 7100 rpm on the ground. It has great breaking, I love this prop. Ihave ran Menz, Xoar, Tbm the vess is the best. I have not run the NX but i have a friend at the field that likes them.

Cam I think with your 13 pound air plane you won't be unhappy with any prop. I run a xoar and anyone I've talked to loves the xoar. It pulls hard right off idle. Aerobob said that the nx brand props are very good also. The vess has very good downline breaking. If you land on a closed in runway and if it is paved you might like the vess. I fly off of grass, and my field is big and wide open. So the big pull props are great. xoar 22x8, nx 22x8, vess 22b, would be the best for break in. I don't no about jxf props, sorry.

For the fuel filter I run an inline filter just befor the fuel dot so when I fill it with fuel it pushes anything in the filter back into the tank. And I run a fuel filter on the vent line. Trying to keep crap out of the tank.
