    New DA 60 not start

    Are you getting fuel to the carb, if not on the carb loosen the big screw on the plate on the carb it will lrt fuel get to the carb. I had that happen to a brand new DLE-61.--Smitty

    hi

    I am surprised that he keeps posting this on different sites when it is clearly his own fault. He has this on GiantScaleNews is 3 different threads.

    Is this prop safe to use ?

    My thoughts are if you had to ask, you already knew the answer. I wouldn't put it on my plane as others have said if it comes apart it will destroy your airframe.---Smitty

    Latest Plane

    Just finished my latest project a Hanger 9 Carden Edition Yak-54. I pulled the engine out of my TOC Yak, which I was going to recover this winter, bought new Savox 1230 servos. I think I will really enjoy this plane as I have read and watched a lot of reviews. Seems everyone like this plane. I...

    Su-26M Knife Edge

    Think I solved my problem on the knife edge thing, turns out I was putting too much rudder in as soon as I rolled to a knife edge, yesterday I just rolled to the KE and then put in what was needed and the plane handled KE real good. Didn't need near the amount of rudder that I thought I would...

    Cylinder head Temp

    Hey guys, checked my cylinder head temp yesterday and it read 200F, is that way out of line with what it should be. The DLE-61 runs great and never had a problem cranking or while in flight. Thought I had baffled the front and opened all the exit hole in the same way that Tom and Terry had done...

    Su-26M Knife Edge

    Ok, thanks for the input, The plane when rolled inverted at a 45 degree angle indicates it is a tad nose heavy. The plane fly great other than the knife edge. I will figure it out.--Smitty

    Su-26M Knife Edge

    Is anyone else having a real bad coupling problem when you do a knife edge with the PAU Su-26m. Mine pulls real bad to the landing gear. I have tried to catch it right off the bat, but it is impossible to do a really straight knife edge and trying to do a snap while in a knife edge and return...

    Ordered my Su-26

    When I moved the engine forward 1/8th of a inch I didn't need to do anything to the cowl. I had the prop hub 1/2 in. from cowl so it just moved the engine to now having 5/8 clearance. Tom I used a lot of your mod on this plane, thanks for sharing.---Smitty

    Ordered my Su-26

    I added 2 washers about 3/4 in. in dia. under all the standoffs. It moved the engine forward about 1/8 in., moving that much weight just a little will do a lot. My was really pitch sensitive also with the cg to far to the rear of the tube. I was landing it on low rates but the last 2 flights I...
