RE: DL-50 engine
well guys i've desided to go with the DL-50,and as of now i've already mounted it to my GP pitts special,so far so good,ill have to do some wire routing to make for a clean look i bought the saito 300 twin engine thinking that i would like it in this plane,well i do like the saito alot would of made for a great scale like plane with the beautifull sound of the four stroke twin but i want lots of power on this beast so DL-50 it is,ill eventually get a Yak 54 so i can use the saito in the pitts and put the DL in the Yak for unlimited aerobatics,anyway only time will tell,
seems the saito is even longer than the DL-50 and the weird part is,the manual calls for the 300 twin but not a saito,an os gimini 300 twin,i figured they would be the same lenth,well nuff said,i'll post some pictures when the plane is ready for a maiden flight,one question,why do the gas engines have a return spring on the throttle?as i said before,this is my first gas engine hence the question,i just thought that with the spring i will need a stronger servo on throttle,or i thought it could be removed
