Default RE: Does your DA50 do this?

OUCH !!

Just read this thread and scared the bejeezus outta me!

I fly a large P-38 with counter-rotating DA-50's turning 22 X 10 props.

I've got about 2 gallons of fuel through each engine.... 32:1 Lawnboy.

I spent no more than 10 minutes setting both high and low ends, and the engines run like Swiss watches ( very loud Swiss watches )and have never given me any trouble except I'm a little disappointed in rpm (up to 6,700 now).

As you may know, engine-out on on a P-38 is not just an annoyance, it's usually a freakin' disaster! Anything I should do? Or just be glad I didn't get one on the "bad boys," and keep flyin'?
