I am sending some photos of my GP Extra300S kit aircraft which is almost ready to go. It has the DLE20 installed and I am using JTEC Pits style muffler. Photo shows Throttle Linkage setup and 3/4 view of aircraft.

RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
Jim,
No need to be sorry, this hobby is one big learning experience. You could find some amusement in this if your club member were to show you all the drills he burned up, and taps he chipped/broke, in attempting to tap that. Why? Because certain areas of these engines are case hardened at the factory, and that's one of them. Ah-ha! You'll say! Just go easy on him, you may want other 'specials' of his.:) Was it a good price?[sm=thumbup.gif] |
RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
I got the fly the Hurricane once again. It was running a little rich before, so I leaned the high needle less than 1/8 turn, and adjusted the throttle linkage so there was less movement on the low end. Now turning the 15-8 three blade prop 8,950 rpm with idle 1,700, good response. Will fly straight up doing rolls, as far as I need to go. Now this is all with the straight pipe, I don't know what the difference would be with the stock muffler. This is more power than I need for this plane. I think I'll get another to re-engine my Top Flight P-40, since I can't sell it. Maybe I can get something for the OS 120 FS.

Re the un-threaded prop shaft, I got an 8mm adapter nut and the the allen head bolt the fit the other end and use that on the Hurricane. Works fine. The prop shaft is 8mm but I don't remember the pitch. Don't remember if its 8x1.0 or 8x1.25mm.

RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
If this dle 20 flys a stearman, should it not fly the four star 120 with ease??

ORIGINAL: crashland 73 If this dle 20 flys a stearman, should it not fly the four star 120 with ease?? Anyway to clarify : 1 lb weight to less than .2 - .9 lb thrust = scale like performance 1 lb weight to 1 lb thrust = aerobatic scale performance 1 lb weight to 1.5 lb thrust = RC aerobatic performance 1 lb weight to 2 lbs thrust = RC unlimited performance You need to choose your performance level, but, with a likely 13 lb plane the 30 DLE seemed more to normal performance level. The DLE 20 is 14 lbs of thrust. The DLE 30 is 19 lbs of thrust. You decide. See ya at the field Ken |

Your pic just answered my question as to whether a DLE 20 would fit into the BH models Stuka. Any info on the install would be helpful. Did you use the stock muffler or the J-Tec pitts? Did you have to cut the cowl much for the muffler? Thanks Paul |
RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
To the moderators of this forum......Thought you might want to know when I open this forum and some others I belong to Avast antivirus is reporting that a Trojan Horse virus (JS:MALHEAD) is on some of the forum pages. Not all of the forums I belong to cause this to be reported. just thought you might want to check this out.

RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
This has been reported to the powers that be

RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
There is more than one threat popping up that i have seen in the last couple of days.Avast user here as well.

RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
True - There have been several on the face page

RE: What Aircraft are you installing your DLE20
Many thanks for that Ed...
Yes its installed in my Kyo spitfire & ran up yesterday for a short time..'garage'...its very responsive & nice & smooth, unfortunatly today 'testing' day it is raining againhttp://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../sad_smile.gif Hopefully tomorrow....then!. ORIGINAL: rc34074 ORIGINAL: Neo gold Awesome!!...i have the exact same plane with a saito 115...'soon to be removed & sold with the rest of the greedy glow's!!'... Anyone know if these DLE 20CC's will be a match for ESM warbirds though?..... Thankyou Another pilot in our club has the 71 inch ESM spitfire with a Syssa SAP180 30cc gas engine - and he says it flies very well with that engine. So maybe you want to consider the DLE30 or the Syssa SAP180 instead of the dle20 for the 70-71 inch ESM warbirds. I believe that somewhere there are posts of pilots putting the DLE55 in the ESM 70-71 inch warbirds. But I don't know much more than these posts about how well the ESM planes handle the power of the DLE55, or for that matter the DLE30. Plus since I haven't examined the construction of an ESM warbird I don't know if they are strong enough to tolerate that much power over time. But I thought you might be interested in reading about the p51 at least. Ed |
