Hi Glenn,

This is a two part answer:

part 1)
The DL-30 in it's stock configuration DOES still have the tilt&die problem. However it DOES NOT die in the air.
IMO the DL-30 is an outstanding engine. mine runs great(stock configuration).

part 2)
The is a apparently a very skilled Engineer/machinist (goes by 'Cyberwolf') who has engineered a backplate to move the DL-30 carb
from the side of the engine to the rear of the engine. (It should have been put there by DLE!!!) which apparently eliminates the tilt&die
issue from the DL-30, in addition, the engine will idle at a lower rpm. This new backplate has become known as a 'Cyberplate'.

Just to make sure you understand. The tilt&die problem DOES still exist. It IS NOT a problem because it does NOT die in the air.
The cyberplate IS NOT required for excellent performance from a DL-30.
