Any suggestions for a Scale looking 3 Bladed Red Spinner to replace the 2 Bladed Spinner that came with this Plane?

When you twist those quick disconnects together, be sure you hear two simultaneous clicks...I have put those together before and they werent locked into place. You can always just replace the connector if you arent sure about it...may be the thing to do. I did a DA50 the same way....overleaned the low end and she just wouldnt run without fuel...cant understand that Sounds like you had some issues with no incidents....perfect.

Hey Lomcevac how did she do on the dead stick? What kind of RPM's are you getting out of your set up?

My tach battery was dead, so I don't know what it tachs yet. I am running the DA 60 and a 22/12/3 prop. I will try to get a new battery and let you know next time I fly it.

Lomcevak,
I had my gear stay down on the maiden flight last year. I was surprised they would not retract, Ihad done extensive leak testing.
On removing the wing, I found I had a quick disconnect apart. My theory is that the retract servo knocked it apart. I rerouted
the couplings to the other side and have not had it happen since.

I took a tip from Sam Parrifit on here and used spray foam and put into my belly pan to stiffen up.
He also did his wheel wells and carved out for his landing gear, I probably wont do that.
I have to tell you it really stiffend up the belly pan with little weight.
I can now pick the whole plane up with one hand on the BELLY and prop and no worries of denting in the pan.
I drilled three holes in the pan (two in front and one in rear) for the foam to expand out.
IT DOES GET MESSY, but worth it.
To get the dried (8 hours later) foam off I used a sharp chisel.
