Default DLE 111 IgnitionTiming

I just bought a DLE 111 and downloaded the instruction manual from the Hobbico website. They say the timing is set from the factory at 44 degrees BTDC. Is this correct or a misprint? Every other gasser I know of has timing around 26-30 degrees BTDC. I have a timing wheel and know how to set timing, but I haven't seen this issue brought up in any DLE engine threads. So, is everyone resetting the timing to 28 BTDC to prevent knucklebusting starts and not melting the piston?
