If youre gonna get a cloned cylinder (G26) why not just use the cylinder from a DLE 30? You wouldn't need the plate to cover the piston port hole in the side, and it would be stronger...I KNOW about DLEs and G26s and JC 28s, I have all three here ........The DLE is stronger.....
I wish you guys would Quit. You have no Point.
I got two friends with DLE 30 Side Carbs. Both crashed their planes because the engine quit on landing at the most inopportune time. I a non DLE owner had to tell them about the Rear carb conversion. They came back to me and said that they had to pay for that. No offer By Jody to replace it or to fix their problem. I know that 's just two engines but thats all we have around here. Oh !!!! and no offer to replace the engines with the fixed and new rear carb versions. There is nothing like having a $350 airframe lesson on DLE Side carbs. Those were average sized 25% Pilot Edges.
This is the wrong place to voice you guys' opinions. You don't have to many fans here.
