Some more reading from Tower.
http://manuals.hobbico.com/dle/dleg0020-manual-v1_1.pdf

Unfortunately the Tower manual is reported to have several errors in it, so I would advise not going that route for needed information, but rather as T.O.M suggested take the time and read the DLE thread through. It makes very interesting reading.

OK OK I've read that the Tower (DLE20) manual has numerous errors..........do I believe that??????????? I have both manuals, the DLE which is half Chinese and the manual that comes with the engine if you purchase it from Tower.............who can authoritatively point out the errors in the Tower manual. I have done business with Tower for a long time and have never had problems with their manuals. Are their OS and Futaba manuals full of errors too?
In a word, yes.
To sight, not one engine instruction has ever been changed to reflect the special needs of breaking in an ABC or ABN glow motor for top performance that I have ever seen.

As far as "who can authoritatively point out the errors in the Tower manual" this would be a never ending job as manufacturing is not a fixed mark and motors change faster than manuals get updated.

But the good news is that there are a few prolific posters here with some great information that is more than the average RC user will ever need.

So learn to use the search, rather than wearing them out with repeating what can be found.

*note 12-6-11 The Jedi and Tired Old Man have been driven off. But, if you learn to search you can still find what they have written in the past.
