It would also help if the repair shops, like Hobby Services, would admit that they are NOT setting the timing at 46 degrees.

I don't know how you can get 46 degrees BTDC on a DLE 35 without redrilling the sensor mounting holes, or re-keying the prop hub. It would be interesting to see a video of how they are getting that timing.

This issue has been going on for years and it is insane.
The Manual included with a new engine that goes through Hobby Services was written by someone at Hobby Services. Look and see whose name is on it? The address - Champlain, IL.
