Help with DA 50/first gas installation
Guys,
I just ordered my DA50 for my DP Edge.
Some of you may know, this is my first gas plane.
Could you guys tell me just exactly how I need to (or is the best way to) install it.
1. Is it necessary to install a seperate choke servo?
2. If I don't use a choke servo, how then, is the choke operated?
3. What is the wisest throttle linkage made out of, and how is it set up? Nyrod? (I've never used nyrod or similar, and wonder how it links to servo, and throttle lever)
4. What about kill switches? Very ignorant on these, and their set ups really.
If someone could give me some overall pointers, and info on what I'll be dealing with that is different from glow, I would really appreciate it.
Just to let you guys know, the only thing I know that is different, is there will be an ignition, and it needs its own battery.
All radio gear should be 12" away, etc.

You have a few options.
1. Is it necessary to install a seperate choke servo?
No. But you should have to have a remote way to shut off the engine. Either use a servo on the choke and/or cut power to the ignition (fiber optic kill switch)
2. If I don't use a choke servo, how then, is the choke operated?
You can use a manual choke. Use a Bell Crank and run a piece of nyrod down through the enigne box.
3. What is the wisest throttle linkage made out of, and how is it set up? Nyrod? (I've never used nyrod or similar, and wonder how it links to servo, and throttle lever)
Nyrod works well.
4. What about kill switches? Very ignorant on these, and their set ups really.
Serveral companies offer Fiber Optic Ignition/Kill switches. I really like mine. Engine stops almost immediately when you flip the switch on your transmitter.
