I have 10 flights on my engine now. I am using a 26x10 prop and getting around 5800 rpms The engine is running good, although this has been the only DLE that has given me trouble on starts, flooding. I have done tests to see what the starting procedure is and on a normal first day start I chock then flip, she pops after a few, then no chock and she starts after a few flips. Warm starts are without the choke. Additional cold starts of the day are with the choke. But a couple of times the first start of the day she would flood with the choke. So she is a little finicky. Not sure if it has to do with setup or what.
Otherwise this engine is pulling my 37lb plane around really nicely. After 15 more flights I will try the 4 blade prop.
