yes very civil.

you should know that a topic like this is going to stray.
questions will get asked, and answers need to be facts for people to believe them.

my intentions are really to protect DLE from those who aren't in the know. i have flying buddies who have never been on the net, and some that go on the net to find the easiest answer to their problem, but even with links posted to them for answers, they won't look at them because they are lazy.

what i would like to see is DLE include a warning if need be on what to expect from their plug if used in a certain type aircraft.
one fella at our field was told by the old timers who never go on the net to do some sort of breakin on his DL50 and kept having crappy results....he then went by the guidlines from someone on the net.
VVRC supplies the NGK CM6 to assure a positive experience for the DLE user.
Tower or Hobbico must not read the internet forums at all though as they sell the DLE CM6 as a replacement plug............you'd think if they were informed that they would only sell the NGK CM6 or the iridioum version right?
