RE: NEW DLE 20cc Gasser! (Data & Links 1st Post)
I'm new to gasoline airplanes too but I have some experience with gasoline r/c cars. Would this new DLE 20cc gasser work in any of the Hangar 9 60 sized round cowl warbirds? I have the H9 At-6 Texan that now has a Magnum .91 four stroke and I was considering going with my LHS recommendation of replacing this glow engine with the 42 OZ. Zenoah G-20ie. If the heavy Zenoah G-20 is recommended by Horizon for the Hangar 9 60 size warbirds, the lighter 29 OZ DLE should also fit and be the best choice? The DLE 20cc has the same beam mount of an O.S. 1.20, so I need another engine mount like the Great Planes #1091 nylon mount? I'm I correct? Or, can I stay with the mount I already have for the .91 Magnum?
I plan to use the Tygon fuel tubing but I'm not too sure about the tubing ID for this engine? 3/32" or 1/8"? Also, how do I secure the tubing to the carb do I use wire ties or is there a barb on the carb gas intake?
