Default RE: YS-170CDI Flight Report

Hi everyone,

Now thatsome of youhave been flying the CDI version for a while can you guys tell me besides the significantly decrease in vibration and smoke trial over the non CDI version is there a drastical improvement in "FUEL CONSUMPTION" over the DZ170???.

My latest YS is a DZ140 and despite that he`s a glowcoholic lol it`s a very reliable and smooth running monster.

I`am about to start flying again and no doubt i`amYS lover butman the price for a gallon of 30%CP Heli has almost doubled hereand i can`t afford to fly 12 flights a week for that amount of$for a gallon now.

Now ihave been thinking seriously of converting to electric but believe me i`am not so excited of doing that..!!!,i just don`t think that flyinga electric powered plane would be the same as smelling the methanol and hearingthe sweet roar of a YS poweredplane?.

If you guys can tell me thatyou definitelysee more improvement on the fuel consumption parton the CDI would really help my decision.

Till now nobody has gone in detail about this topic on the CDI version.

Hope to get some feedback.

Regards.
