RE: DL-50 engine
Thanks for the compliments on the instruction manuals BTerry. Some of my most recent projects/instruction manuals have been the GP EP Seawind, Top Flite B-25, GP 38% and 27% Extra 330S (all ARFs). I've also done some of the Top Flite kits back in the "good ole days" (.60 and giant P-47, .60 Sea Fury, Piper Arrow, DC-3, Stinson, etc.). But of course, there are several others in the "shop" who also develop models and write manuals too.
Thanks for your tips on the oils too. I'll take all of that into consideration. If I decide to go nearer the 40:1 route I'll visit my local motorcycle shop and see what oils they have that you mentioned (Bel Ray, Honda). I should have my engine up-and-running tomorrow. I'm going to post some pics of my install on my Extra.
By the way, I'm going to be selling my J-Tech Pitts and the stock DL mufflers that I got with the engine (I'm using the Slimline muffler for the DA). Neither of these mufflers have even been mounted. I'll post in the "for sale" section soon.
