Status: offline 		Made my maidan today with the Lanier Yak 54 ( 94" ) and the DL-100.
The motor ran perfect and it actually rips the prop ( JFX 27 X 10 ) constintly when wide open in level flight.
Here is the video of my madian and you can hear, whenever I am wide open the prop rips.

Temp: 85 degress
Humidity: 58%
Pressure: 29.83
100 feet about sea level.

Video one is a run up.

Video two is my maiden flight.

Probably there will be some documentation made available, but I don't think there is anything out there yet.

Anything I can help with?

Status: offline 		hey bob. i had a 7.2 volt battery with my zdz ignition. zdz will take up to 9 volts. the dl likes the 5 volts. how many miliwatts does the ignition pull. i have a 3 amp UBEC from hobbycity and i want to know if i can safely use it. i used it to start my engine for the first time and for 3 more break in runs after it using a 11.1 lipo brought down to 5 volt with the UBEC. i dont wanna have to get a 3o dollar voltage regulator if i dont have to.

I'd try it, if it's all I had, and it already worked.
As long as the ignition is getting 6 v or less, you're good. 3A is more than enough.

Thanks Bob, good information.
Not sure what it is going to be but the factory said the next release of engines will have an upgrade? I am not sure what they feel they need to change but we will see.

Thanks

Status: offline 		hey denny i have a question. when i first started my engine i noticed black coming out of one of the spark plugs. i checked it and it was loose so i retightened it with pliers as much as i could because i dont have the tool for the spark plug. today i started it again and it did the same thing just only very little. is it still loose ? i just need to tighten it some more. and if there is an upgrade, will the current owners be avaible to upgrade whatever piece they upgraded? keep us posted
