Xoar 22x8's already on the way to the LHS. Have flown Xoars exclusively on my gassers for a couple years now, actually.

Standoffs are the four aluminum rods that mount the engine to the firewall. From the pictures you posted you have the standard ones that came with the engine which are 2 11/16" long. The red ones shown in the picture of my Wagstaff 300 are custom ordered ones that are 3" long. (post 1746) Hope this helps.

Status: offline 		T.Edney the DL 50 will be a perfect match for the EF Extra 300. I put my trusty DA on the front of my Extra when I first got it......well guess what. The genius I am damaged the sheild on the spark plug wire and fried my ignition.
I just happen to have a DL sitting on the bench waiting on me to finish my Ultimate. I put the DL in the Extra and was very suprized to find that the DL right out the box was just as strong as my fully broken in DA.
To make a long story short the DL will have no problem pulling the Extra around with authority. If you really want to make some HP get a tuned pipe.....MTW RE2 or ES Composite. I have tested both on the DL and beleive me that either of the pipes will make the Extra scream like a raped ape.
One other thing about the DL's. Buy your motor from Bob at DL USA. He stands behind his product 120%.

Rush,
Can you tell me the header you used with the ES pipe? Manufacturer, model number? What length?

Thanks

Dave

I'm not sure what bothers me more...

The fact that someone knows what a raped ape SOUNDS like, or the fact that an airplane might mimic the noise.

Status: offline 		Greetings all,

I was able to get some flying time in on the new DL100 today. The initial start was very similar to a new DL50. Flip ‘till it barks with the choke closed, open the choke and it’s running in 1 to 3 flips. I ran about 25oz through it on the ground to get an initial ring seat and check the carb settings. It has a wonderfully fast transition just like the 50.

The first flight showed very quickly it needed more leaning so I cut the flight short and re-optimized the carb. Second flight showed the same. On the ground, it seemed close but once it’s in the air, it isn’t. Anyway, 3rd time was the charm.

I mounted it on a plane whose finished weight came in just under 24lbs. I did so for a quick comparison to a similarly weighted plane with a DA85 mounted on it which weighs 23lbs (both with gas on board). What can I say… I used to thing the DL50 yanked the Bling and H9 260 around like toys but this 100 set a new standard of yanking.

Initial tach reading with a Vess 26B was 6700rpm. After 2/3rd gallon through it and a little optimizing on the carb, it held 6990rpm. I set the idle at 1700 which it seemed quite comfortable with. Again, the transition was fantastic; almost instantaneous.

Gas consumption seemed about as expected. The plane has a 24oz tank in it but a 30oz may be more appropriate. I’ll see what tomorrow brings.

Regards,
Bob
