I have 12 DLE engines and have checked all of them and all have been real close on timing.Send me a picture of the Hall sensor and the magnet with the engine set on TDC.Has to be right on TDC.Of corse I have only timed several hundred engines.I am just a old tired Nebraska farm boy who loves model airplanes and cannot spell.I am never going to mention this again I have preached about this enough.But timing should be 28 to 30 dr before top dead center.Talk to the people who do this all the time. O-well to heck with it. You cannot no how little I really care.CH Ignitions are timed the same as RCEXL.
BCCHI Old tired C&H guy.Going flying tomorrow.DLE engines timed at 30 dr BTDC.We can time a little more advanced here we are at 5450 ABSL. Good Night.
