Hi Guys..
I just want to show you Flying Video of My Miss America With DLE 30 and Turnigy Beech Wood Prop 17x10.
here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z1HGAAnedY

Looks GREAT!! Now that is how I like to fly- love those strafing runs!! I'll bet you were having a great time flying eh?

Have you tried an 18-10 prop? Also- did you fly the plane as it came out of the box? Or did you modify it somehow? I mean other than installing the controls, engine, etc.

I flew mine with the 2300 and the wt499 carb and it flies very well with this setup. Since I recently moved here to Texas I didn't bring much fuel so I looked att he cost of buying glow fuel vs gas and decided to buy the DLE30, and I am now installing it in my GS mustang. So in a few weeks I will get my chance to compare flight performance with both engines. Looks like if I tilt the Dle30 15 degrees or so it will fit into the cowl without trimming the main cowl very much if any.

Anyway- looks like a great fit for this plane. Thanks for posting the movie.
