I under stand what timing is and how it is accomplished on an engine.
on auto and most engines the timing is advanced as rpm increases.
but with many model engines the timing is fixed I cant say if there is a feature on the dle ignition system to advance the timing as rpm increases.
but timing of 28 or30 btdc is not timing for idle that would be more like 15 btdc.
So if static is set on the dle engine at an advanced state its unlikely the ignition goes to a retarded state as the rpm is increased with low rpm starting efforts.
so it is unlikely the dle ignition module uses more than a fixed timing for firing.
I am capable of telling what the engines timing was set at and that was 46 btdc and what (hobbico who answered the phone from a number I got from the dle website ) the dle rep said 46 was correct.
my only conclusion is 46 static cant be correct I can only speculate as why they would maintain that 46 btdc would be correct.
BAX if your with Futaba service you might be able to find out more on this I think Futaba US and Hobbico are different divisions of thesame company.
