First run DA50
 

Did my maidenflight with my brandnew ultimate with a DA50 today. What an engine, started at the third flip and kept on running until I shut it down. Didn't have to readjust any of the needles, very smooth running from the first plop till the end.
Keep up the good work DA.

Good to hear I'm going to start mine up in a couple of weeks

That is a VERY nice looking Ultimate. What brand is it?

Glad to hear the DA 50 is running well. I have a brand new one too and I just think it's a great engine.

Very interesting engine mount, sideways.
How much lead did you have to use in the opposite wing to get it to balance laterally????

I am watching you

Thanks Joe, it's a kit built Weiershauser ultimate (73 inch). www.emhw.de
Weight is about 7,5 kg. This kit is made especially for the DA50 with a MTW75 exhaust. Everything fitted wonderfully. Flies like a dream.

Larry, I didn't had to use any lead in the opposite wing to balance it. I planned the sideways engine mount from the start so I installed to most of my radio installation an batteries at the opposite side of the cilinderhead. Worked pretty well. On the photo it's hard to see.

Keep em flying,
Ronny
