I swear, does EVERY post on this website have to come to this? I have read this thread since the beginning and it was all going good until tired old man started with the flaming. So what if the guy was posting stuff about his store. He pays for advertisement. His post did not bother me at all. But it seems that every other thread on this site gets off on the wrong foot, and it seems like it's the same few people that are neck deep in stirring the pot every time. I'm sure y'all will flame me now for speaking my mind, but some of you have to be some miserable s.o.b's. This ain't jr high, and this ain't topix.net.
Let the flaming begin.......

Say what you need to say man. It's still a free country. For awhile yet anyway.

Just to help you stay properly informed, take a look at the RCU list of advertisers. Virgina Model Builders is not on the list. Which means my previous attempt at an apology is retracted. If he is paying RCU any money it's for transactions completed through the market place. Normally that's called a "brokers fee". If that makes one an advertiser then anyone that sells in that forum is now an advertiser. Might want to re-phrase your post to reflect accuracy. No flaming from me, just facts and truth.

But people taking advantage of a site to generate profits without paying for ad space does bother some people. No ad revenue and pretty soon you have no site.

Ok, so he don't pay. I still don't care. Him doing that is not going to keep me from reading the posts on this site, but you and people like you will. It just seems that most all of the bickering has you involved in it somehow. you post on almost every thread on this site and alot of it is informative but you also flame alot and I don't understand why. It seems that every club and every forum has that one guy, that knows everything and reminds you of it every chance they get. I'd bet you are that guy.

Some people can handle reality and deal with it from a factual basis, some like looking at life through rose colored glasses. Each has to choose who they are. If you can't handle my posts you do have the option of not reading them. I'm betting you'll continue to read them to obtain all the information you can, in spite of your perceived "know it all" attitude. Why? Because you would like to know more than anyone else and be as good as you can be. I know you have grown from the information contained in my posts. Even the ones you have deemed arguementatative. They have taught you how to think and reason with a sense of logic as foundation.

Cheers man, it's not that bad

It seems like there are a few guys that like to show how brrilliant they are. So it gets to be a contest of smart remarks about any little thing that comes along they can spout off about. The best us readers can do is just ignore the smoke and look for the good postings that are made. I think its good just to remember the real helpfull replys that have been made here. Some of the most helpfull people, that had excelent answers...have been kinda shot down also. So just remind youirself "not to worry". Keep still ....sometimes its best! Capt,n

Never a truer word spoken.

I know I have learnt a considerable amount from your posts and information sharing over the years, as have many many others who may or may not admit it openly or tothemselves.
I just wish I had heeded a lot of it much earlier other than just the bits that suited me at the time - woulda save me a whole pile of heartache if I had.

well i change the prop hub and prop shaft on the 56 to a DLE55 hub and it bolted rite on with out having to change the timming,how is that for a clone engine.also clean the surface of the reed block up a little with 220 wet or dry paper to get rid of some of the rough casting.
i have four gals. through it now and is getting 200 more rpm's than the dle55 i have.

I changed the Hub on my 32 to DLE, and timing dead on, works and i don't have to buy new props now, DLA has a different pattern then DLE I like the larger Reed on the 32, same as the 56 or DLE 55. Ohh forgot, had one of the 7.2 v ignitions (4NFG), the RCEXL works better, much smoother. The one came with mine is apparently superseded with an RCEXL unit as far i read here in the Universe.

Hi Man, that one was shaking my Test stand like mad, after that i had a DLE 30 unit on it, it ran better but the advance curve kicks at 2400 like straight up. runs ok, but i don't like the jumpy behavior of that one, the one i tried next was an advertised RCEXL from Rcextremepower, witch i purchased a bunch Ignitions from and it runs and transits wonderful, little narrow with tuning, but i check the Carbs with a Walbro gage before use and found some some Carbs a little off enough to give you a rash. Figured them out for my needs, the DLA 32 performs just like the other brand close to it, but i had some issues with it and straightened it out, have no trouble starting, running at all anymore, once you messed with 3W's and get pd of you find a way to make anything go reliable after learn and listen. Baseline like in the Automotive world (i'm in that) and you can make anything work. AFR/Timing/Load/ the whole trick. I am to lazy to post a Video from my 3W 157 classic moving a 32 Vess B arround, belive me, the RCEXL makes it talk and go anytime, wish the DLA supplier i purchased it from would have given me the updated Ignition for free, frustration for folks who are unable to figure stuff out will drop bad posts and jump of the product line. Hope the forums here help to communicate with others to help each other and help to keep our most interest on this wonderful Hobby, lets chat about what it is all about and help suppliers to keep us informed and updated.

Perhaps I am a bit late to the "party" but Aussie Steve asked some very good questions ... so how about it DLA distributors ... could we get some answers to these questions? I have a 30 sized engine in my future and some of this information would be invaluable in making my decision.



It is good to see the distributors of the brand here but I don't think they have answered any technical questions on any of the numerous DLA threads to date.

What Specification bearings are used in the DLA engines?
Are the ''Billets'' the crankcases machined from a Cast or a forged Billet?
What grade of metal is in the Crankshaft?
What hardening and finishing techniques are uses on the bearing areas.
What bearing fits are used?
What techniques are used for Cylinder lining?
Are the major components (Cranks, Pistons, Rods, Cylinders) actually any different than those I can readily get from the two major component suppliers in or near Zheijiang?

In other words - what makes these any better or worse than the opposition product?

Default RE: DLA Engines?

I have another few questions for them

The e-mail below has been received AGAIN from DLA. This is a weekly occurence. I have nicely requested they stop sending them to me, I have demanded they stop sending them to me and I have tried insulting them. I have sent them offensive material with requests to stop sending them - yet they continue to send them.

Here are some more questions to the manufacturers of DLA.

1 - Why do you have a need to continually send SPAM to people even after being requested to stop doing so?
2 - Is the reason you continue to send SPAM to people because you do not respect their customes and legal rights?
3 - If you do not respect our customs and legal rights, why should we have any faith in purchasing your products?
4 - If you have a need to continue with these marketing "barrages" is it because your product is so bad that nobody want it?
5 - Is Vera really that desperate for the suggestion I e-mailed her that she hopes someone wil give it to her?
6 - Is there anything I can trust from DLA because they are certainly not acknowledging my rights by continuing to send me SPAM when I have repeatedly asked them to STOP.

Got it?

MY OPEN REPLY TO VERA AND ANYONE ELSE IN THE DLA ORGANISATION

PLEASE STOP SENDING ME THESE E-MAILS - I AM NOT GOING TO BUY YOUR PRODUCT.

Now it is on public record that I have asked

Hi dear friend,


I am honor to introduce we are manufacture of DLA gasoline engine in China.


DLA32,DLA56,DLA112 have been specifically designed,developed and manufactured from


proprietary components for giant scale modeling,it is very powerful extremely lightweight,


easy to adjust and operate,and should provide years of outstanding performance.


They became more and more sophisticated in Europe market,I think now it is a best chance for u to add them into ur products line,hope we can get win-win.


regards

Hey Steve,
What's your purpose to post the record here? Asking our tohelp to stop them sending maile to you?There is an easy way to get that.
If you won't buy their product and don't want to know anything about them then just mouse click to set them into block mail list is okay and after thatyou will get silence and peace. So easy! Why youneed tospend your valuable time to reply them?
That's my way to treat advertising mail. There are many many advertising mails from overseas day by day and again and again. DLA is doing what the same thing as most of other company doing on earth.Should we blame them?

the bearings for the crank are NSK, as far as the rest who knows.they are more than likely to be the same as the DLE sense the parts that are used are just off the shelf products.
i just can't see the cases being machined out of bar stock,the tool marks are just not there.the rear of the case or backing plate cover looks like it could of been machined out.but the front half of the case looks like it is cast and has just been buff out on a wheel,you can see the rough casting on the surface,but just with a shine, no tool marks around the nose of the engine.there are a few tool marks on the engine but only on the flat surfaces, not on any round part of the engine.
in the air and flying i can't tell any difference than the DLE55.

Just a NOTE....
If you do get unwanted mail...call your internet server...they can help you set your mail up to get rid of certain unwanted emails. I think some are computer generated...so when you email back....nothing is done. Just My Guess!!!!!!!!!! Capt,n
