I thought I would give an update on my dle 20 and my cermark pitts that I crashed when the dle 20 locked up. First, I sent the dle-20 back to tower and they shipped me a new engine, I will also install the engine back on the pitts. My flying buddy decided not to buy it do to issues he has had with his dle-20.
I don't like to work on crashed airplanes but buying replacement parts wasn't an option because they are no longer available. I had to either total the pitts out or fix it. The thought of having to swallow my pride and admit that I destroyed the plane was just too much, so I decided to repair it and it turned out good! I also have bought a new evolution 26gx and a cermark pitts like mine, new in the box, on RCU and will build a second one. I really love how this plane flys and having two of them will allow me to fly the beater pitts with the dle-20 on the real windy days and the new pitts with the evolution 26 on the good days! Win-Win situation for me!
