RE: DL-50 engine
Just messin' with ya, Bosco.... there are "rules", but I honestly don't know what they are, if they apply, or if they would be "enforced".
How many times can we cover how to break in a DL 50, or what prop to use, anyway???? I think on some topics (mixture needle settings) we're probably on the 40th go round....
It's all good, I think....
Mine are up for sale at the moment.... and no, I'm not buying an SV....

RE: DL-50 engine
Well, I did it! I got my Richmodel Yak 50cc out on her first flight this morning. Got the DL primed, popped and pulling. All up she's in at 21 lbs. The DL is idleing at 15-16 and I'm keeping it at 69 for now. I got the blurb also but it might be my needles (haven't touch them yet).
You guys should've seem my thumbs. If it wasn't for bones, they would've shook right off hands.....
As for the bird... one click up elev and she was blurbing around the California skys. I have a Vess 22B up front. Seems to be working good, I wouldn't know the difference because this is my first gaser.

RE: DL-50 engine
I read all the discussions on what prop to use on our DL50's, but I don't understand the reasons for going to a 23x8 from a 22x8, particularly for 3D. It seems to me the rpm's would be down, but does the bigger prop provide more air flow over the control surfaces or what. It's probably Propeller 101 for a lot of you, but it's Greek to me.

Get both the 8 and 4oz good for 3 gallons if you need to break the engine in.

If you have a homedepot close by you can get lawnboy there. That's where I got my last batch of it from.

@switch26 Ordering online is cheaper than driving to Home Depot. I also ordered my Amsoil Saber online, 2 quarters.

Great job. What kind of camera do you use? Seems like it has a macro lens on it.
