RCGF is selling some nice looking props but no 7" pitch. The only ones I have seen are JXF from HIMODEL.

Tower Hobbies has a very nice Hard Maple 20x6 for a good price. I like them very much and so does my DLE30. Capt,n

Speedy, we just had supper here in Aripeka Florida. We had wild Hog that was slow cooked for several hours. Man was it good!
.
How are you doing with on your DLE30...I guess you got one....not sure. I was wondering if you live near a Interstate highway? Take care Capt,n

Capt'n,
Yeh..right! Rub it in real good! I'm sitting up here with Sasquatch chewing on icesickles with last fall's squirrel droppings trickled in for flavor! Heck I don't even have enough heat in my shop to get epoxy to set. It did get up above freezing today. It's starting to snow again. No progress on the rear intake DLE-30. Work has been crazy busy and they say there is a recession. I'm working 50-60 hours a week and there are 4.5 million people on unemployment? Something ain't right here. [sm=cry_smile.gif]

Speedy, that the way it was at the shop where I worked! Work some guys overtime...while others are laid off. I have a good idea whats wrong with this country...just cannot do or say anthing about it.[]

I hope you get time to do the things in life that means a lot to you. Don,t work overtime to the point of killing youself....seen that happen to much! Best Regards Capt,n[X(]

Not so easy when you have too many hobbies and bad habbits. My worst "bad habbit" is taking my wife to the Caribbean Islands twice a year. Life ain't so bad. Neither is my wife at 50+! I'm suckin' it in real hard in this pic! [:'(] Well after submitting this picture of my "man boobs" I had better get back on the subject of model engines don't you think???

Speedy,Well it is good to see you are having some fun.....now back to the DLE 30cc engines. I have been showing how my DLE will start from cold with a good choke & flip to it fires. Open choke and it will start right up & keep running! Then after it warms up about 60-90 seconds, I will shut it off & restart a min of ten times in a row with 1 FLIP! I have not even charged the battery in over three weeks! Capt,n

Hi guys,

I think I have asked this before, but I need an answer.

What is the CM-6 plug gap for a DL-30?? I have had answers from .012 up to .045. That gap range is unexceptable.

I would like to hear from the people that know, not from the people with an opinion.

I have been thinking about this all day, I think the proper gap would help tremendously at idle, and improper gap may be contributing to some of the idleing issues that some people are reporting. That is certainly not a fact, just a thought, not an opinion. What do you think?

MR G

Use a #11 Exacto blade, .022". Won't have to much effect on the idle, more so at high speed if the gap is way to big.

Thankyou Jody!!

A nice simple answer from someone that knows. God I love this forum!!

MR G

OOPS, sorry Ken, can't post in another manufacturer's thread..
don't bother to send an e mail...

NGK will suggest an .018" gap. .017" saves regapping a lot later. They generally come out of the box at .018" so if there's a visible gap you can jsut about bet it's .018". You can gap wider and let your engine tell you how it's working out. Too much gap makes the engine miss at higher rpm, or simply provide less output.

I JUST RECIEVED MY NEW DLE-30. i PLAN TO PUT IT ON A WILD STICK, SO INSTALLATION DOES NOT MATTER AS FAR AS ORIENTATION. i don't know if i have an idling and dying issue or not,but want to install it on an angle from vertical just in case. HOW MUCH DO I ROTATE FROM VERTICAL, AND IN WHICH DIRECTION. THANKS

Rotate as much or as little as you need, carb side up

Hey John.... Did you see that Cyberwolf is manufacturing a rear intake case for the DLE-30?
Here is the forum:

You can post whatever you want in my thread anytime Ralph.

For anyone interested I did some prop test comparisons with the DLE30 and a 3W28i. I hope I'm not breaking any rules posting the results inhere so here goes.



<span style="font-family: ">I said I would do a prop test comparison between the DLE30 and a 3W28i sohere it is. Allruns weredone using the exact same props, ignition module,timing settings, muffler, and fuel. All runs runs were completed within a 2 hour time period so atmospheric conditions were as identical as possible. This is a comparison between 2 well broken-in engines that I own, I will not proclaim any sort blanket relevance to all of their siblings, take it as you will, your mileage may vary.<o></o></span></p>

<span style="font-family: "><o></o></span><span style="font-family: ">Also for the record, bare exaust runs didn't vary more than 100 RPM from the mufflered runs. The engines run like crap with no muffler so I used the same DLE30 stock muffler on both, had to make an adapter for the 3W. As little as there is to it,the muffler makes a huge difference in theidle through transition performance of both engines.<o></o></span></p>

Interesting info, Jody. Thanks. Wish we could get a few more comparisons like this with other engines without everybody jumping all over it. Would love to see these two engines run side by side with the JC28, Syssa 30, MT 35 et al. Having watched a couple of these threads degenerate, guess that'll never happen lol.

I'll be doing the same with the MT35 in a day or two, not a head to head with any other engine but I will use the same props, those results will be posted in the appropriate thread.

COOL, and thanks again for your effort.

Just waiting for you know who to pop up and spout off

Thank you for the comparison. I was going to do this with a Syssa and DLE I decided I only need one 30cc engine. Don't really need a DLE 30 but it will be fun to run in a Byron Pitts.

Anyone got a comparison between the stock muffler and the Jtec pitts for noise levels yet?

Anyone know how I can contact an administrator or someone that can help me with a subscription problem?

That's the right place. Also, emptying your browser cashe fixes a range of problems.

Jodi,

Any luck on the 19x6 props? I was checking your site and did not see anything also interested in the 19 3DA.

Thanks!

Andy
