RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Glad to hear Topiwala. My 170's have been running really sweet this year and carried me through to some top finishes as the year has winded down. Very proud to be running YS!!
Thanks Jim

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Thanks Colin - I use a throttle curve that raises the low-end a bit (easier for stall turns), flattens out through the middle, then climbs sharply in the last 25% of stick movement. Also, I do not...

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Hi Colin,

What kind of prop were you using on the Plett (no doubt a great e-motor)? A lot of people run the 21x14. Maybe in YS speak, that compares to a 17x13. However when the 22x12 was the...

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Arch - its not just the power systems that make speed. Airplanes like your Wind, Visa, Integral, are "clean" planes, not as draggy, and allow for more speed as well. Go out and enjoy charging...

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Calm day? What about a windy day? In my opinion, the electric planes look "lost" in the sky crabbing at wierd angles without a frame of reference. When you are pulling uplines and streaming smoke,...

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Dick - I'm glad to see you have found a root cause of intermittent running. Since you have brought in the Electric versus Glow debate a couple times though I'll add my 0.02. I'm not aware of any...

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Sir - Functionally the motor should run if you have air, fuel, spark. From your description, the pump is not providing the fuel supply. It is possible that within the interior of the pump, that...

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

This has been a well written thread and I certainly appreciate the approach folks have taken for displaying their findings. Because there seems to be different ways of setting up or breaking in the...

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Dick - in case I missed it, does the problem persist if you turn the pump "in" to increase fuel flow and thus cool the motor a bit more during flight?

RE: YS 170 DZ CDI

Sorry to hear of your trouble. Once this trend develops, does it happen "every" flight, even when cold for the first flight on a fresh day? Or, does it only happen if you try to fly within 15-20...
