Status: offline 		Hi Guys
I have a question on the DLE 20.
Mine runs great, good idle, transition and top end, but it's a bit sluggish to start first time of the day.
What's your preferred method of starting this one? Choke position, throttle position etc.

Thanks

Status: offline 		I was having trouble starting mine before the first flight of the day. Took something like over 60 flips to get it to pop with the choke on. I think it just doesn't have a strong fuel draw on choke. I have a fueling "T" in the line from the tank to the carb. I now fuel the tank until it spills a little bit out of the vent. Without removing the fueling line, I close the choke and with the ignition off, flip the prop 4-5 times. Disconnect the fueling line, turn the ignition on and flip with the choke on. It usually pops in a few flips. open the choke and its starts withing 4-5 flips. Nice thing is it sits sometimes over an hour between flights....it will usually start with one flip...no choke. Great little engine! I think my starting problem was that when I removed the fueling line I introduced air into the line. By choking with the fueling line still connected seems to be a simple fix. Would be interesting to see if this works for you too.

Status: online 		Check your choke plate to see if it's really sealing the the carb throat properly. You may have to loosen the screw and let it recenter. While you're at it, seal up that hole in the choke plate. Solder works good, but there are other solutions as well. It doens't need to be there for our application. That done, then you should be drawing some fuel when the choke is closed....

I love that little plane (Miss America).  I picked it up from a guy getting out of the hobby for $100 bucks. I know guys put big motors in them for racing. I actually thought for a second about putting a DLE20 in it.  It would land at 1000mph, but it would be a blast in the air!

Hey Spinner. What size P51 did you put it in?

World Models .60 sized P-51 that I bought from Airborne Models. I plan to soon get their giant scale P-51 (80") and put that new DLE 35RA in it. I think that would be a killer combo.

Status: online 		Spinnerrow - I picked up an H9 P51 150, 80", with a MVVS 35 inside. On the maiden I dropped it down to the ground too abruptly and tore off one of the gear. Need to fix and reinforce both wing areas around the gear - there's actually not much there for reinforcement.

I also need a muffler - this thing had (I bought it used) only a header - no muffler - so it's loud as hell. Problem is finding a muffler that'll fit inside that narrow cowl. I read on Youtube that another owner got a custom muffler made from JTec.

After I rebuild my other Rev 70 \ DLE 20 this P51 repair is my next project.

You are always finding deals on planes! I need some of that!

I would check out the Jtech Compact Wraparound Pitts mullfers. They narrower than their standard mufflers and made for narrow cowls. The good thing about the new DLE 35RA is that it is rear exhaust and you don't have to buy an expensive wrap around muffler for it.

Mine takes about 10 - 12 flips with the choke "ON" before it pops and then 2 - 3 flips choke "OFF" before it runs.
Was just wondering if anyone had a "special" method to save my arm

Status: offline 		Mine is finally breaking in. Started today rather quickly, then once it had run once, it fired off every time with one flip of the prop.

Tried something tonight on my 4*120, I swapped out the APC 16x6 after the first flight with the ZOAR 16x8, and flew it. It lost some speed, half throttle was slower, and it lost altitude, and top end was lower.  The take off was a bit quicker but thats about it.  I put the APC back on and it flew better. 

One final test is to try out the XOAR 17x6 that I also have for it. I need to ream it, or would have tried it tonight.

Thank you for THE tip, FSFLYER. I will give it a try. I had to read your post twice to catch the tip. With the T being really close to the carb, I can see how by not disconnecting the fueling line that the carb can pull fuel from a much shorter distance instead of sucking air out of the long line from the tank.

RCExcel a123 ignition kill switch
A123 2300mah
new spark plug

Could something have gummed stuck from sitting. When I pull the spark plug it smells of fuel, so it's getting fuel.

There can only be three things, air, fuel and ignition. How do you check for spark?
