Kill switch is
cheap safety! 42% products makes a great one and you can get one from ValleyView or Troy Built Models. Connection instructions are included and are easy. Just use the gear switch on your TX or another switch that you won't easily hit by mistake. I put a small section of fuel tube on my switch as a reminder.
Blind nuts can be found at a hardware store or
www.microfasteners.com or countless other sources. Use Locktite and lock washers!! And, check fasteners frequently......again, safety.
The spral tubing is used to wrap your hall sensor wire and other wires to protect against vibration and rubbing through the wires....great stuff! I have never found a use for that extra little wire, myself. I have 3 RCGF, 5 DLE and 1 ZDZ engines and they all came with that same wire. My guess is a tachometer connection of some sort.
Ask 100 people about oil and you will get 100 different answers. I've always used Stihl mineral oil (black bottle) for the first gallon or so, and then switched to Stihl Ultra (white bottle) at 32:1 and it works great. Not too messy and engine does not get hotter than recommended.
Good Luck, and be patient with the needles! I've got about 30 flights on my DLE 30 in an AeroWorks Yak 1.20 and it is a monster!
Thank you terrycustom
Hate to ask again.
But do i need to buy a Kill Switch? Or can't I just kill the engine like I do with my glow engine and use a throttle kill switch where it closes the gap in the carb and thus turning the engine off?
Um what is the hall sensor??
On my ignition there are 3 wires coming out of it... One with a red cap which is for the battery, another long black one which connects to the sensor that is in the front of the engine near the hub.. and another that says tachometer.. What do I connect there or does it have any use??
Also i plan on buying another DLE 30 for a Funtana 90 S I got at a great price but after mocking up the engine I noticed the carburator opening was very very close to the side of the cowling.. Besides drilling a big hole on the side of thew cowling so the carburator can breathe.. is there something else? like a Velocity stack or similar??
Also very important. How do i install the ignition? do i wrap it in foam?
Gas engines will not, or most likely will not kill when you back off the throttle. I had an old Fuji engine and had to shut it off by hitting turning the ignition power switch off (was too cheap to by a switch back then). Turning prop, reaching for switch = not safe. As for the cowl, I have found that on any gas engine you will benefit from a velocity stack. Even my rear carb engines I use them to eliminate any fuel spitting. Looks like Cyberwolf answered the rest. My honest opinion is that the DLE 30 will tear that 90 sized plane apart. If you are used to flying nitro, I would say my 74" Yak 1.20 acts about the same as if you would put a Saito 1.00 in a 40 sized plane. Would be interesting to see!!
