I found a simple answer to cure the idle-tilt thing. I installed my DLE30cc gasser on my Giles 202. I took care in mounting it on a angle so pooling does not happen. Guess what. I can make that thing shake rattle & roll...she keeps on purring. I will upload the video for proof!


P.S. My wife did the video....I made that airplane twist and turn fast!
So what happens when you are flying the plane and bring the throttle down to just above idle and turn the plane on edge or do an inverted flat spin and flip it back upright, It will die!!! Tilting the engine will just change the location at which it dies.
It is not I say again is not the metering lever height causing this problem. It is an engine problem. When I get my engine back from Ralph I will take some pictures of his fix.
Hey Jody have you fixed any of the engines you have sold yet and if so could you post some pictures haven't herd from you in a while. Is the manufature aware of this problem and are they going to anything about it?
