Default RE: Question about the DLE 20cc throttle configuration...

Hello, you are right, I set the idle at 1750RPM and it is pretty stable (below that it seems to hesitate).... I'll keep it that way...
landing was very nice.... I had 2 flights and in the third one, one of the servo arms stripped (dubro heavy duty) and I not only lost one of the aileros controls but the aileron stayed down and it was pretty hard to control and stay leveled.... I had a rough landing and I called it a day.... not damage, just the landing gear came off..... I wonder why happened? vibration??? the arm was not touching any surface... should I use alum servo arms? or it bas just due to the fact that the plane has been flying for 3 years????

About fuel consumption, now that I set up the throttle properly (thanks guys!) I was able to fly nicely and for a 10mins flight I think I used about half a tank of the 12oz.... which makes more sense now! overall very happy with it!!!! need to fix and have it flying again this weekend!
