Well yesterday turned out to be a good day for me, I took my Christen Eagle up for the first time with the DL 50 in it, and they both perform very well,
The engine that was runing a bit rich was consistence with plenty of power and the plane was fast and responsive it was great,

I did notice that the engine that I ran in my back yard doring the week did very well but I did notice a diferrence in performance when I added the nipple and tubing to the back plate of the carburetor Friday night
it seems to me that it ran mutch smoother and not as poppy, all in all I was very pleased with the engine performance as well as the CE it self,
You might want to consider openning up the space around the cylinder head for better cooling. There might be an overheating problem in warmer weather.
