RE: DL-50 engine
nmking09 have you heard of anyone having success by drilling out the high speed needle? I remember bosshoss reported on trying to correct the bad carb with little success when these engines first came out but I am willing to try this as I have little to lose.
If you have any specific tips on how to do this I would like to hear them, thanx.
Super08 your post sounds a lot like me I have also just finished my Patty Wagstaff. I bought mine five years ago! I did a lot of weight saving mods on mine that seemed to add a lot of time to the assembly but my ready to fly weight with the DL is 14lbs 14oz. so I am hoping for a great flying plane. I have also ordered another DL for the new Hangar9 Carden Yak that I also have on order, I will be using a cannister exhaust on this one. I also plan on building this one stock so it should go together fast.
When I recieve my new DL I will try the carb from it on my old DL to make shure that is the problem.
