His major complaint of the RCGF engine was stability and consistency. It would start fine in the morning but get less and less consistent after that... He called it his "one good flight" warbird.
FYI>>> after a gallon of 32:1 through my DLE's I switch to 100:1 Amzoil packets... Super simple (one packet to a gallon) and all my DLE's perform exceedingly well on it with less black exhaust splatter too!
I understand your post is based on your personal experience, I hope you will appreciate that mine is also.
I have an RCGF 15cc beam mount which has performed flawlessly since installation. Idle is very low and stable and the transition is no different from my DLE30. While I have had to replace the carb on my DLE the RCGF has been rock solid.
I hope this post doesn't classify as a thread hijack.
