Default RE: DL-50 engine


ORIGINAL: FlyingGreg

Guys, when I bought my DL, I spoke with Bob Kramer and he told me he is using Amsoil at 100:1, and has been flying the same engines for a good long time. I was afraid that I would not be able to mix as precisely as would be required for 100:1 so I chose the Bell Ray at 50:1. Only got a couple of gallons thru, but it's running great.
Below is taken from the DL-50cc manual on oil mixture:

Requirements...
Fuel: 2C Regular Gas mixed 30:1 - 45:1 (petroleum based
for break in, synthetic thereafter)
Propeller: 22×8; 22×10; 23×8
Ignition Battery: 4.8 to 6.0 Volts >=1200Mah
Replacement Spark plug: NGK CM6 or equivalent
Gap: 0.018" to 0.020"
