Default RE: Showtime 90 with 35cc gas

Very interested in your DLE 20 project. My Showtime has a YS 110 with tank at CG and the empty weight is 8.5 lbs. I love the way it flys for pattern but not happy with the 3D performance. Just have never put the time into a good 3D setup. The biggest problem I have is keeping the YS engine out of the shop. I have been getting about 3 to 5 gallons through the YS 110 then something always happens. I have 2 YS 110s just for this one plane and Each season one goes back for service because of loss of power. It would be great if I could switch to the DLE 20 and save me on fuel and $70 to $130 in repairs each year. Please post pictures of your setup
