Default RE: DL-50 engine

Well I finally got a chance to get my bird in the air for a maiden today, The motor was running rock solid once I got it started. It was about 56 degrees out, but I had to flip probably about 20 times before she would fire. No problems after that, fired within a couple of flips the rest of the day. Power was exceptional, takeoff was at just over 1/2 throttle and it was accelerating on the way up! Too windy to do anything but fly some laps around the field but man was I having some fun.
