Just an update on the DLE, have put a few more hours on it and the engine seems to be running in nicely now and I can fly an easy two schedules, land, refuel half the tank and one flip and its running again so more than happy with that. Still running standard unleaded fuel (91 octane) and coolpower blue oil at 32:1, it hasn't caused any issues so I haven't seen any need to mess with it.

I got one of the local gurus to have a fly on the weekend and he put it through the F3A schedule and the main things I noticed were that he used much less throttle than I do and still seemed to have plenty of power in reserve for all maneuvers. It was a pretty calm day but I think there would be plenty of power available if it got windy and no concerns of running out of fuel. Still going to try lengthening the pipe but that is more a case of wanting to shift the powerband a little lower and gain a little more torque for pulling over the top of the loops.

All up I think its going pretty well so far.
