RE: NEW DLE 20cc Gasser! (Data & Links 1st Post)

I think the Delta Vortex will work great with the DLE 20. I'm a little concerned about notching out the wing for the muffler and which engine mount to use. I may be concerned about nothing as it...

RE: NEW DLE 20cc Gasser! (Data & Links 1st Post)

It has tricycle gear, thus it only has a limited prop clearance. Of course, I may have to put larger tires on it. This will be the 3rd one I've had, one engine failure just after takeoff, above the...

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Craig,
I think I remember you saying something about a problem you solved by running a line to a pill bottle in the fuse. I can't seem to find the thread. I'm having a problem where if I do a...

RE: DLE-30 - Post your prop data here

Am thinking about a DLE 30 on my Funtana 90 - my present engine really doesn't do it. G20. I have a ground clearance concern. Any ideas on a 3 bladed 3D prop for this motor??

Thanks - Ron

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

Craig, you should bring your Hybrid to the Huckfest here in Hot Springs on June 24-27th. I'll have mine there, since it's here in town. See the other rc forum - huckfest - Hot Springs.

RE: OMP Hybrid Edge 540 Build

THe picture is from the instruction DVD that came with the kit, maybe its an old picture before the 3/4 inch tristock was used and I'll be just fine. Thanks - Ron
