Why the big tank?

n8622t

My Feedback: (8)

LOL....because I like to fly without thinking about fuel and a DA60 will use more than a DA50 during break in It wont be a problem and will improve the cg as fuel is burned as compared to the original tank location

The stock tank would be plenty for a DA60. Plus, the DA60 is such a beast of an engine I doubt that you will be flying the bird at full throttle all that much ... very powerful!!

Ive been running DA engines for nine years Pro and they have never failed me, unless it was something that I did wrong The support and service is second to none and they are made in the USA...I love em

I got a late start today and didnt accomplish as much as I had desired...BUT, I did get the choke and throttle linkages completed and the holes drilled for the carb line and ignition spark cap Tomorrow I will try to get the engine completely installed and begin cutting the cowl for mounting to the fuse

Hey Pro, any issue with the muffler getting loose like the 50 will sometimes do?

n8622t

My Feedback: (8)

Ok, got the cowl rough mounted and discovered the muffler pipes wont even make it out of the cowl[X(] I also found one of the header bolts will crush the header if tightened too much. This is the Jtec muffler for the DA60 made to fit the TF P-40. The Jtec that went on my AW P-51 had the same problem but I have a fix for it to accomplish tomorrow...Il post pic Here she is SNARLING!!!

n8622t,

I just ordered mine from the LHS. Where did you get the AAC decals as seen on yours?

Hey Lifer...last P-40 we discussed was a Skyshark Give Brad a call at http://www.badbradgraphics.com/index.html
He mainly does 3D birds but fully capable of doing warbirds as well...you just need to talk to him and describe what you want...he has great pricing Tell him Jimmy Davis sent ya What power are you going with on your P-40...you should have it ready in ample time for the next Warbirds over Tulsa. I can see you and me flying sorties with the P-40s[X(]

DLE 55 and Robart gear all around. I'll save the link to my Favorites. I haven't been to Tulsa in a while, so there's a good chance I can make it. Thanks for your efforts!
