yeeeeeeehAWWWWWWWWWW ... flew the G.A./Dl-50 this morning! Virgin flite for both! What a combination! Not one for fancy words, but I can truthfully say AWESOME! As I recaall, needed two clix down trim and 2 clix right trim. The Dl50 hauls this bird straight up. It acts like there was no load connected to it. One of the guys held it while i ran the engine up on the ground. His eyes nearly fell out when I hit full throttle. I am running pretty rich yet, and from just off idle up to 3/4ths throttle is it 4 stroking. At full throttle, it breaks clean and hauls! I am a bit nervous about the idle. When I get down to about 2000 rpm, it starts running unsteady, and makes me a bit uneasy. I have about 3/4ths of gallon thru so not going to mess with it too much yet. Good thing i had a heavy glove on. It backfired and smacked my middle finger so hard that everyone there heard it. Smarted like h*** for a few minutes. Wised up and got out my chicken stick. That got smacked a few times also. Not sure why it is so prone to kick back when starting. I suspect the low speed setting not right. Any comments on that please??. I have a G-62 and also a Brison 2.4, and have never had either of them do that.

Anyhow... Giant Aero + DL 50 = potent combo that flies groovy!!!!![8D][X(] and a few others!!!

PS .. it will do knife edge loop too







if the engine always wants to kickback when starting,check the timing,sounds like it maybe a little advance in the timing. my glow engines have kickback but never any of my gas engines.
