Gp-61

[Decal Dennis]

Just heard back from Kole [MENTION=2452]Limitless Aero[/MENTION].

He's sending me a replacement cylinder, piston, ring, gasket, and redesigned clips. It's all shipping tomorrow. Awesome service as usual... And with the redesign, it shouldn't happen again.

Thanks Kole

Cool, that's awesome customer service!!! Those "G" clips are easy to install and remove....that's the bad part about them!

Can you post a pic of the new cir clips when you get them?

This thread has been quiet for some time, but I figured I would post an update. The pitts muffler on my GP-61 that I had in my 50cc Extra 330 SC from Red Wing RC failed in flight. The weld seam broke apart and half the muffler fell out onto the field.
I installed the stock muffler (side dump) on the GP-61 and it is running fine again. One of my very experienced friends told me that most pitts mufflers will eventually fail. I did not believe him then, but I do now!

Het Guys,

I'm trying to decide which 60cc single to put on my 92" AeroPlus Edge.

right now I am at GP61 vs DA60 vs EME60 vs DLE61.

I'm looking to keep the plane AUW as light as possible and stick the most power on the front of it that I can while keeping it light.

What say you all?

Thanks,

JC

DA 60 for sure.

most reliable, most consistent power, best throttle response.... Great customer support!!!

Yes what he said. The gp61 is a power house, but is finicky and you seem to get a good one or a bad one. Fergus will take care of any issues you have 1000% though. That said every GP i have owned (2 -123s and 2 - 61s) have had to be serviced.... my da 150 has been in once in its 10 year life....

^^^^^^yup^^^^^^

I've had GP, DLE, DA.

I'm most happy with DA. My GP 61 had great power in the beginning, but the power kinda died off after 400 flights. It was also a B!t@# to start from day 1 to now...

My DA 120's are running like new after hundreds of hard freestyle flights. Always reliable. Quick. Start every time.

Yea agree about the hard to start. Sometimes its easy, sometimes i damn near throw my arm out spinning that f#!$!*& prop...

 

[3dbandit]

Ive had some really easy starts, some no starts.

i once had an easy start, great flight. next flight, i had to spin the prop 20 seconds on a starter...
