    DA50 help

    I'm still here, I don't scare that easily... I have been in and out of town for work and haven't had any time to mess with it. Other than getting the cowl off. I'm going to try tomorow. I understand the concepts, I am just afraid I damaged the engine as the way it started and ran was horrible...

    DA50 help

    I am going to mess with the motor in the morning when I get home and I'm sitting here thinking about it! Am I right in the thinking that a larger prop with more load would cause a rich condition, slower turning not using the fuel as quickly? Or is it the opposite that the engine would go lean...

    DA50 help

    I checked spark at the field and it was bright and strong. I was thinking more like the timing shifting but looking at the mounting it doesnt look like it's shifted, plus the nose didn't hit hard just caught the edge of the prop on the runway.

    DA50 help

    I checked all my fuel lines the clunk and line in the tank are good. It really seems like a fuel problem though. I'm leaning towards dirt in the carb but wondering if I knocked the ignition pickup and that damaged it or something? Really at a loss till I pull the carb.

    Help! What size tank for 50cc Yak54

    I also went with the TDRC tank I also used one in my Edge. I really like them. I didn't replace the inner lines but I did add a short lengh of hard tubing and put felt clunks in both. I use TDRCs red fuel tubing just because I can't stand yellow haha. I found a good deal on the plane just a few...

    I thought it did have a camera. I thought I had read you could take pictures of your model for the model menu. I guess maybe loading it to the tx is what they meant.
