Default DLE-20 fried a piston...

DLE-20 seized up.Had good air flow in Cap 232, carb tuned properly, gas/oil mixture 32-1.Ran good several flights, then seized up mid air with no warning. Couldn't make it back to the runway damaged the airplaneplus fried the cylinder/piston/ring. Anyone had this problem? I find it interesting thatthe sources forthese parts are out of stock?The aluminum cylinder does not have a sleeveso DLE platesthe cylinder walla metalic substanceapprox .001 inch thick (so Iwas told). I have been running weed eaters, blowers, and etc for yearswith 2-sroke engines and never had one seize. Comments...
