Default RE: DL-50 engine

Hi All,

I'm running a first generation DL50, have about two gallons thru it and just tweaked the low speed needle again. Fuel consumption is way down. I can fly 10 minutes of aerobatics on about 8 oz of fuel now and it's spinning a Mejzlik 22X8 @7450-7500 rpm. Low midrange vibration is less and transition to full throttle is much better. I am very happy with the power and performance with this engine.

Plane weighs 19 lb 2 oz and at 300' alt it has unlimited vertical.
