sort of curious .when you start the new engine in my case a dle30 after say a couple gallons do you ever change the ratio of oil to gas mix.does the time of season ever play into your decision??


Nope, 32:1 from the first run then on forever, summer, winter, fall or spring, rain, hail, sleet, snow, or shine. Your engine will thank you for it.

Status: offline 		hey there .hows your new digs going.nice of you to chime in.I asked that question because I had my generator serviced and the tech mentioned to put in 30 wt. oil for the upcoming winter.so I wondered if flying in really cold weather affected 2 stroke gassers.I am using sthil ultra oil mixed with regular gas.hoping to fire it up later today or sat.

Status: offline 		I need some ideas about my DLE 30 rear carb. I am running it in a GP Giant Super Sportster with a Xoar 19X8 prop. Stihl Ultra HP at 32:1. The problem is that it dies every time I go into an inverted nose down position. Battery is a 2 cell LiFe pack for the complete system. Rx and ignition. Voltage is reduced to approx. 5 volts via diodes for the ignition. I can fly it level inverted without problems. If I attempt to do an inverted flat spin, it quits every time.

I believe the needles are set appropriately. But possibly just a touch rich on the high side.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks....Alan

Status: offline 		Thanks guys. really had me stumped as my DLE 20's run perfectly regardless of the plane's attitude. The weather here is wet due to rain. Will try to fly again on Saturday or Sunday. Will let you know if this was the problem.

Thanks again.....Alan

   I have found that black smoke coming out of the exhaust at idle works for me , best test is that the motor always comes back to a nice idle after giving the motor heaps  during the flight .

Thanks for the help gentlemen. It is much appreciated.

Status: offline 		tailheavy - I'm thinking of transitioning from APC to Xoar props, but the carbon fiber are a bit too pricey for me. Are the Xoar wood props also more efficient than APC also? Seems they're about the same price. I'm a little concerned over the wood being more fragile in ground strikes, too. Any feedback is appreciated.

Status: offline 		I have had good luck with Xoar. I prefer wood over because they spool up faster and in case of a ground strike, they will break before bending the crank.
I learned that from experience with a Zenoah 23.
