Default RE: DL-50 engine

What's all this about "metering levers," and gr8taznitro, I hope you get your engine figured out. I hate to brag about how good my engine is running in light of your problems, but I can't help it.

Well, about six more tanks of fuel this morning. Went through the two gallons of break-in fuel (with the Lawnboy). I said it before, but man, with the DL this is like a whole other plane!!! The power isn't what I would call "stupid," but let me put it this way, I don't even use full throttle for vertical up lines, otherwise, the plane gets out of sight in a hurry! I just can't express how pleased I am with this engine (I know, I know, I've got only a few gallons through it).

Well, onto the Amsoil tomorrow! (Then, I guess I can expect "stupid" power).
